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. 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 |
