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 Little Kites Welcome to Littlekites.com, featuring miniature kites, mini kites, a miniature kite train, a miniature butterfly kite, dragonfly kites, a fairy kite, a tiny housefly kite and bigger kites. For kids, teachers, educators, moms, dads and kite clubs, I've also included a page about a kids kite that's quick and easy to make. Or, if you're in the mood to make some miniature kites yourself, I give some tips on my how to page and throughout the site, by way of describing some of the materials and techniques I used for making the kites. I'll be adding old and new kites to the pages listed above, as the weather cooperates and the time becomes available to get out and actually fly the kites in my kite bag. I didn't make all the kites you'll find on this website, nor did I design all the kites I DID make. I try to give credit where it's due, because we all know how vengeful kite fliers are. Thinking about it, I probably didn't make or even pay for most of the really great kites you'll find here. Unless I have to count buying a raffle ticket, or being lucky enough to have people just give me kites because I'm such a swell guy. What I hope to do with this site, is to provide some information and promote flying and making kites. If I happen to get filthy rich and have to retire to Tahiti in the process, I'll just try to make the best of it. The only kites I have for sale here, are the miniature kites I make. I deal mostly with retailers and people that want custom graphic applications on the sails of the diamond Eddy kites, but if you want a few of the kites I make, please check the Buy Online button. Enjoy the site and drop me a line, if you're so inclined. (Please include the word KITES in the subject line, so it's easier for me to distinguish your REAL EMAIL from the SPAM I get). Thanks for stopping by and taking a look! Tom Tinney |
