Ornament Company Sees Higher Demand For Made In The USA Only Holiday Decorations

'Made in the USA' is the clear choice for consumers purchasing at "American Christmas Ornament" this  holiday season. The Bethesda, Maryland based company has seen a double percentage increase in purchases from the 6% increase in 2010. Company president, Luke Wilbur, believes it has to do with an increase in American consumer patriotism.

"Thanksgiving and Cyber Monday sales were up 13%. We are grateful for the business and hope the momentum continues. We appreciate the fact that our customers are willing to pay a little more to for a high quality American manufactured ornament. We hired more help to make sure all the orders get processed efficiently with the care."

In 2010, American Christmas Ornament Co. made the decision to sell only goods made in the United States. The company hopes to be example for the 'Big Retail Brands' that moved their operations to China, India, Pakistan and other countries.

"Foreign outsourcing poses the greatest threat to our economic independence and prosperity," says Mr. Wilbur. "Americans now understand that companies selling foreign made goods like China pay only a fraction of the retail price sold here in the United States. We hope our representatives in Washington start listening and make real change. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!"

Maryland-Based Gift Company Helps Consumers to Buck the Outsourcing Trend
and Celebrate America This Holiday Season


Made In USA(CITY), Maryland – November 22, 2010 – PR Newswire -- American Christmas Ornament Co., (www.achristmasornament.com), a Maryland-based ornament design company, announced it has generated record sales this season following its initiative to focus exclusively on made-in-America Christmas Tree ornaments, including a unique line of USA-themed ornaments like the George Washington Monument Holiday Ornament. Holiday season sales are up 6%, according to American Christmas Ornament Co., as consumers increasingly look to American-made products rather than those made overseas, in an effort to slow the trend of outsourcing American jobs and manufacturing.

“Buying American is a consumer decision, representing the only way we can keep manufacturing jobs in the United States,” commented Luke Wilbur, CEO of American Christmas Ornament Co. “During this Holiday Season, many are suffering as a result of the challenging economy, and many of us have family members who have seen their jobs outsourced to other countries. The holidays are an ideal time to think about helping your fellow Americans, and this is just one small way. We exclusively sell Christmas ornaments sourced from manufacturers, artists, design houses, machinists, materials and inks made in the United States. We are doing our part to keep jobs in America and restore pride in superior American craftsmanship, and as evidenced by our sales growth even during this slow economy, that message is resonating with American consumers."

Outsourcing of American manufacturing has had a devastating impact on the US economy, yet big box retailers continue to import billions of dollars of foreign made goods, many of which are poor in quality. A recent Adweek Media/Harris Poll found that three in five Americans (61%) say they are more likely to purchase something when the ad touts it is “Made in America.” While it is clear Americans want to buy products made in the USA, they are often left without an alternative. Americans are forced to perpetuate this cycle when they can't find American-made goods.
