I happen to maintain a number of pages concerning programming led signs for hobbyists.
And, while I am willing to converse with LED sign vendors about improvements and protocols, I tend to only post recommendations for specific vendors and equipment that I have personally dealt with and feel that the end consumer would be better for the experience. I’ve had companies offer to buy a slot, and I’ve turned them down.
Also on those pages, I’m fairly clear that I am not an LED sign vendor or manufacturer. I’m not interested in LED products just because things have LEDs. I don’t want parts lists.
And, while some companies marketing departments don’t read those pages, almost all are quick to correct the problem after a polite email.
I have to say almost, every day I get one or more heavily graphic filled messages from [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] in which his template spam says “I … know that you are one of importers about LED products”. [sic.] The domain’s contact is [email protected], with technical contact [email protected]. A quick scan of the website reveals [email protected] and [email protected].
As this appears to be a company, I’ve written twice (and got human answers back each time), but as one might expect that only steps up the spam. Very unprofessional. And very annoying. That raises more questions about how they’d treat customers, and by extension the quality of their products.
Walt gives Vendon LED two major thumbs down and does not recommend their products or doing business with them. They are a classic example of what’s wrong with the Internet.
