The Tip is 'Ask Before You Buy' I went to a department store for a pair of dress shoes recently. The clerk helped me with three different pairs that I tried on. 'The Big Secret' was on the forefront of my mind so I asked, "Are these shoes imports?" The salesman responded that they were in fact imported. "Do you have any Made In America shoes like these?" I asked. To my surprise he said, "We have a whole line of Made In USA shoes." I was able to purchase the same color and style with the Made In USA label. These Made in America shoes were less expensive, came with a better warranty and were more comfortable. It's amazing how often this simple Made in US question yields unexpected and often times pleasant results. I now ask this question regularly, whereas before I would not have thought to ask for a Made in America alternative. More often than not, I can find a Made in America product of higher quality and at the same, or slightly higher price. Asking the question is so simple and can make a positive impact, in both the short and long term. Try it sometime. If you are like me, you may be surprised with how many Made in US products are out there. You will love it when you realize you are making a difference that benefits many. With your help America will be ours again and that is a good thing. Buying Tip Continued - Read more on Made in America Products by Johnny Loves June Our company was founded just a few short years ago. Donna Schons (Designer & Owner) had been in the wholesale gift business for around 10 years, after finding by happenstance her creative talents as a designer and graphic artist in her mid 40's. In 2008 when the recession took a tremendous hit on most businesses, Donna scaled back her business, took a couple years off to find her true passion, and came upon a critical fork in the road near Kerrville, Texas (in the Texas Hill Country). After many hurdles in her life, she found herself asking God for guidance, best described by the lyrics of the song Jesus take the wheel by Carrie Underwood. Then while listening to an old Johnny Cash song, in that instant, a vision of a true country love story between Johnny Cash and June Carter came to mind, and the name Johnny Loves June was born. All became clear from that point on. She dedicated her talents to designing a fresh new look jewelry line, which has become her passion. Not long after, Donna met Mark who would become her best friend, confidant, husband, business partner and the Johnny to her June. In just 2 short years, our company has taken off and is now carried in over 300 boutiques nationwide. We proudly make everything in the USA, and our studio is located in Denham Springs, Louisiana. Johnny Loves June jewelry can be described as a crossover between Bohemian, Gypsy, Western, Native American Indian, and Religious influences. Our style is best categorized as earthy, casual jewelry for everyday wear. Because of our firm belief in God's grace, many of our pieces have religious influences. And we truly have been BLESSED!!! On a side note, with all of God's graces, it has also been revealed to Donna her calling to share her struggles and message of hope to so many other women that also have been through similar life experiences and are at their own crossroads. We aim to share that love, one jewelry piece at a time. Donna's mantra is Let what you love, Be what you do |
