The Tip is 'Keep eyes open' After reading an article about items made in America I thought about how many times I make purchases without thinking. I'm usually focused on budget and needs. Prior to reading this article on made in the USA products, I rarely thought about the importance of buying made in USA products. This helps create jobs in our country. Now I keep my eyes open and I am surprised how easy it is to find American products. It only takes a few seconds to look. Now I make a point when I am shopping to search for made in America brands. By doing so, I'm able to identify more and more what products are made in America. Even with my eyes open to made in USA I can get discouraged. Sometimes store clerks don't know the country of origin which can be frustrating. If this happens use your eyes to find the origin information yourself. Look at the labels and when you find a Made in USA product tell the clerk so the next time they are asked they will know. Also, when the label is not easily seen I use the other made in America buying tips to help me find made in USA. If the store doesn't carry what you are looking for, use Made in America Secrets to find it and tell the manager about your experience at their store. When enough people are asking for made in the USA products, more stores will begin to carry products that are made here. This technique does work. I also pick and choose the stores I visit. I do this because I have found that some stores are made in America friendly while others are not. Keep your eyes open for the made in USA label and pretty soon you will be able to identify which products are made in the USA. Buying Tip Continued - Read more on Made in America Products by Oh Crow Creatives The World's Coolest Rain Gauge? was introduced in 2001 and sold by TM Hoff Handmade. When it was introduced at the Atlanta International Gift and Home Furnishings Show in January of that year, it won Country Living Gardening Magazine's Best New Product award. Added to an already crowded product line of bird feeders, patio lanterns and other garden accessories, the rain gauge stood out immediately for its creative approach to a somewhat mundane activity: measuring rain. As it turned out, measuring rain was something a lot of people like to do. Sales skyrocketed, space and resources grew limited, nerves got frazzled. In 2008, a new company was formed to concentrate on the manufacture and sale of the rain gauge and the rain gauge only. Oh Crow LLC is proud to make the World's Coolest Rain Gauge? in the USA and continues to improve and add to the product line. Based in New Paltz, NY, Oh Crow LLC is owned by Moira Clune. Her former business partner, Tom Hoff, continues to create practical and amazingly useful products for the home and garden from his studio in Maplecrest, NY. |
