The Tip is 'Ask manufacturers' Some times I have run across an advertisement that implied a product was Made in USA but the product did not have the Made in USA label. Before I buy or put the product on my Made in USA list, I email the manufacturer and ask if their product is Made in USA. If they say yes I ask why their product is not labeled that way. Seldom will they tell me why but many times they will tell me every component that is Made in the USA and those that are not. I then make my decision about buying their product and put it on my list if they convince me. Buying Tip Continued - Read more on Made in America Products by Headbands of Hope My name is Jessica Ekstrom (you can call me Jess). During the summer of 2011, I did an internship at a wish-granting organization. I found that girls loved to wear headbands after losing their hair to chemotherapy. Therefore, during my junior year of college, I founded Headbands of Hope. For every headband purchased, one is given to a girl with cancer and $1 is donated to a childhood cancer organization of your choice. Since I launched Headbands of Hope in April 2012, we've donated over 20,000 headbands to girls who deserve them. We've even started a boys line of buffs! I didn't have a business degree. I didn't know how to manufacture a product. All I had was an idea and the passion behind it. Read more about my journey on my blog or let's chat on your campus. Let's spread hope in all kids...one headband at a time. |
