It is impossible to turn on a T.V. or radio without being made aware of the recent spate of recalls of various foreign made products. At the same time, there is more and more outsourcing of formerly American made products to foreign suppliers. There is an alternative choice which provides a focus on American manufactured products, a new website has been launched to offer consumers an American solution: www.USAB2C.com. America's Business to Consumers Incorporated (USAB2C) removed the hassle and endless hours of product point of origin research. This new e-commerce site provides an innovative, interactive marketplace environment enabling U.S. manufacturers to promote and sell their branded products.
Across America today, corporate downsizing, out-sourcing and an increasing dependency on imported goods has gained prominence, sometimes at the expense of quality, craftsmanship and jobs. Employees who may have dedicated many years to a company are left to face the hurdles that come with this experience and the communities where they live must often share this burden in the form of negative impacts to the local economy.
The founders of America's Business to Consumers Incorporated (USAB2C.com) have experienced increasing distress witnessing many of their co-workers, family and friends losing their jobs. They feel it is imperative to exercise caution and prudence in making the decision to downsize, out-source or rely too heavily on imported goods which can sometimes lead to a compromise in quality and product safety, as evidenced by recent almost daily recalls on numerous foreign made products, especially toys.
To help reverse this trend and showcase American made products, America's Business to Consumers Inc. has created and launched USAB2C.com, a portal for consumers to find high quality, well crafted and competitively priced American made products and an interactive marketplace for American manufacturers to promote and sell their brands. The site also has a three part community section called Agoramania (www.USAB2C.com/page/community), which includes a forum, blog and chat rooms. USAB2C.com can help American manufacturers withstand some of the turbulence of a global economy, providing easy access to online consumers with digital promotional tools. This will serve to help rebalance fair trade as now overseas customers can now also easily buy made in USA goods and services on this site.
According to Chief Operations Officer George P. Hanos, "USAB2C is a modern day marketplace in the tradition of the ancient Greek 'Agora'; a digital channel where consumers and American manufacturers can come together to exchange ideas, concerns and needs and conduct business; a crossroads for business and consumers.
"USAB2C.com offers a convenient way to buy high-quality products made in America and learn about the companies who make them. Such American products have been hidden and unidentified but USAB2C.com makes finding them easy through our e-Commerce site." Mr. Hanos goes on to say: "We are striving to provide consumers the largest online selection of American made products and product information in a personalized interactive forum. On USAB2C.com, you can browse our online catalog and order products and services sourced from "USAB2C Certified" American manufacturers through our safe and secure website. The effort to uncover American made products is ongoing as many companies formerly manufacturing in the United States have been moving their assembly operations abroad. Once this happens, they stop meeting our criteria for listing on our site. When this comes to our attention, we de-list their offending products."
This e-commerce retailer is providing American manufacturers with a near real-time interface to reach consumers and showcase their company and brands. At the same time, manufacturers will receive feedback on products consumers want. Through USAB2C.com, both large and small businesses have a cost-effective, efficient online channel to promote American made products and reach customers in the global internet marketplace. They can submit inquiries to the company directly from the "Contact us" page. Made in USA products currently offered run the gamut from Beka Arts & Crafts to Zippo Lighters including categories covering Toys, Tools, Homegoods, Sports, Outdoor & Camping, Law Enforcement and Military, Kitchen Gear, Gifts, Lighting, Knives and Kids Furniture in time for your Thanksgiving, Christmas, Hannukah and holiday shopping.
