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 Antibody Phillip Gilliam- Sports Medicine Servant of the Injured PRESIDENTS-MESSAGE200 Originally from the city known as one of the top 10 markets for business relocation and expansion, Phillip Gilliam has added to the success of the state. Born March 6, 1959, he has made a significant contribution to the sports medicine community. In his youth he fell in love with sports and science, the two areas which set the foundation to his destiny. Phillip went to Morgan State University where he obtained his degree in Physics and Engineering. Phillip patented his Antibody Sports Garment on September 28, 1999 (U.S. Patent 5,957,878). It was shortly afterwards when he connected with a tailor to begin making his invention. He used to keep all the prototypes under his bed in a clothing bag as if the Russians or Spectre (James Bonds' movies) were coming after what God has given him. His first client was the Head Athletic Trainer of Baltimore Ravens. They believed in him and what he was doing and allowed him to use it on Michael Jackson from Southern Mississippi University and they worked! The Ravens had officially become his first steady client. Phillip built a relationship with NovaCare Rehabilitation/Select Medical and continued from there to reach out to others from Universities to NFL teams, and even some High School Affiliations. Originally these were 25% of his customers. The other 75% were just average people who are trying to protect themselves or their children from injury. On September 28, 2010, the same day as his previous patent, Phillip was awarded his SECOND patent for his device the Sisyphean Chamber (U.S. Patent 7,803,092B). This chamber would be used as the perfect device to work upper and lower body strength, balance, center of gravity, stamina, and endurance while incorporating a cardiovascular workout. He has received letters of interest from the U.S. Naval Academy, the Pittsburgh Steelers, and the Detroit Lions. If you would like to book Phillip for a speaking engagement or just touch basis with him about his products and insight on sports medicine, you can do so by sending an email to pgilliam@antibodywear.com. He would love to hear from you and have your support. |
