Do consumers know where the products they buy come from? We have become more globalized in where our dollars end up. Do most consumers care? Probably not, but I wish they did. Our business, WeDoClosets.ca makes every effort to offer as many Canadian made products as possible. We want to support our neighbours and our country’s economy.
Farmers, small businesses, small manufacturers; these are our neighbours. Whether they are within a hundred miles or a thousand miles, what they do affects us and what we do affects them. They are the lifeblood of our country.
Historically, price is a top priority for the modern consumer followed by product quality. These days many people will consider the “Green Factor”, but how about “Buying Canadian”? Yes, we can buy our products from China for far less, but by and large we sacrifice the quality. Does today’s consumer appreciate a great quality Canadian made product? Are they willing to pay a little bit more to get it? I like to believe they are. I sleep better when I buy Canadian because I know that I have had a positive effect on another Canadian family. Can everything be Canadian? No. Can I make every effort to buy Canadian? Yes. Sometimes it is a happy accident and sometimes it is planned. We like to mentally pat ourselves on the back don’t we? I hope so, because every dollar we put into the Canadian economy is money back into our own pockets.
Offering Canadian made products is half the solution. The other half is buying Canadian Made Products. Let’s make it a priority. Sleep tight neighbour.
