This week, your most obnoxious neighbor may be searching online for a knock off item available from any number of countries even as she complains, “There just does not seem anyway to get hold of good, old fashioned American goods anymore.” If you find yourself involved in such a discussion, do not miss the chance to point out to your friend that American craftspeople are available even today, but the chance of finding them to make the best quality products available diminishes every time someone outsources style and elegance for mass-produced and poorly designed foreign goods. American made products will be available so long as there is a willing market of buyers ready to support their creation.

Made in the USA Is Synonymous With Quality

Decades ago, American consumers were fairly committed to the idea that those things bearing a Made in the USA logo were better than other goods. A sense of pride in national skill and craftsmanship helped to keep the United States economy strong and ensured, seemingly, that American artists and factory workers would stay in the black for a mighty long time. Fast forwarding to the instantaneous gratification of this century, it is hard to find examples of American made products that are consistently supported by American consumers. If the citizenry of the United States hopes to remain a player, and reclaim its large portion, in world manufacturing, economic support in the form of sales must be established on the home front.

American Imports Far Exceed Exports

Perhaps you are asking yourself, “How am I supposed to help rebuild the tradition of exemplary manufacture and success for the American market?” The answer is simple. Whenever possible, search to find US made products that satisfy your needs first. Once, America led the world in the design and creation of automobiles, textiles, furniture, fixtures, and even food. Today, America imports far more than it exports. If you would have America succeed economically again, your very first move should be to purchase American made products whenever possible. Your mission to increase sales of American produced goods can begin at home. In fact, if you look around you right now and choose one item that you truly need for your home that you might find in a USA made edition, you can then make the decision to purchase it, and your path can immediately become lighter, clearer, and easier to achieve.

American made products are available, and their quality is often the best possible. To ensure that artisans and manufacturers continue to produce high-quality yet affordable merchandise, make your play an active role in the economic support of such products.
