Made in the USA Finding Greater Interest

摘要

The good news first. Recent surveys have shown consumers are positively swayed by products carrying the Made in the USA label and many say they will pay more for domestically made goods than those coming from China. The caveat: Consumers are most willing to buy domestically and pay the up-charge when the products involved are food, medicine and personal care items. A survey released last fallby Perception Research Services International found that four out of five shoppers notice "Made in the U.S.A." claims on packaging. Of those, 76% said that would make them more likely to purchase the product. But safety and the notion that buying US products helps the economy tend to be the primary motivators.
