The Tip is 'Manufacturer's sites' I recently ran out of my favorite pancake syrup. I loved the brand we had been using but when I went to the grocery store, I couldn't find it. The syrup was made in Indiana and I was living in Florida at the time. I tried unsuccessfully to find it on an internet. The manufacturer is small and their products are not readily available so I thought I would try their website. They did, in fact, have their own internet store so I ordered it directly from them. Now, I always buy their made in USA maple syrup from their website and never run out. Made in America Secrets has thousands of made in USA products offered by hundreds of small manufacturers. These small Made in America companies are a large contributor to our economy. In fact, according to the 2008 US Census Bureau small businesses, those employing 1 to 99 employees comprise 98% of all the USA businesses. This is equivalent to 5.8 million businesses that employee over 40 million people. Most American's are unaware of how significant small business is when compared to the total size of the US economy. This website is aware of it and that is why 99% of the businesses that advertise on Made in America Secrets are small businesses. Use this web site to for a list of products made in the US- especially since it is likely that a small US manufacturer employs someone you know- your husband, wife, children, or grandchildren. When using Google to search for Made in America products often times these small made in the United States businesses never show up on page one- and most folks don't look past page one. What does this mean? The consumer has a difficult time locating that US made product. Made in America Secrets was conceived to provide a solution to that problem. As an example search for motorcycles Made in America using Google and you will likely miss many of the companies that make this country great. Use Made in America Secrets for the search and you will likely find a hidden jewel.

(click one of the stamps below to see your device in action) Where did CelJel come from? We came up with the idea for CelJel about 2 years ago. At the time we were loving the amazing smart devices that came out on the market after the premier of the incredible iPhone in 2007 (and prior to that, the iPod). The idea was to design a holder that had stability but didn't require you to clamp the device in. We needed to be able to simply pick up the phone, music player, etc. and put it back down quickly and easily. As it turned out, the perfect holder would be one that was rubbery, soft, grippy and somewhat heavy to stay put on your desktop or counter. The more apps and functionality that appeared on these smart devices, the more we wanted the option to set them down to enjoy the content. We spent a year working on shapes, angles and materials. Finally, after many clay test models and with the development of the Tech-Jel420 rubber formula, utilizing the purest grade of high-gravity silicone rubber, it had the weight and grip we needed. CelJel was born! |
