About the Blog/Website
How is the MadeByYankees website different from other resource websites, blogs, or e-tailers?
Made by Yankees, has one sole purpose; provide “Made in USA” consumer product information fast and easy. The information is provided via a search function that reports specific domestic product availability and where it can be purchased. The key is; we provide this information fast and easy. This is a no non-sense exclusive database providing consumers the names of American made products and retailers without you having to check labels on store shelves, or spend time endlessly surfing.
How is MadeByYankees website different from the on-line stores featuring only American made products?
Made by Yankees is a resource; It is not a store. Though some on-line stores feature only Made in USA products, their product selection is limited. Some on-line stores provide links to companies that sell Made in USA items. Links send the consumer to different websites that soon become time consuming and confusing. The on-line stores remain useful and can be quick and easy, if they have the product you are looking for.
About the Data
Is Made by Yankees an all-inclusive database?
Not yet, though we would like it to be. Over 3000 items have been researched and verified to date. We expect that dedicated consumers and interested business will help build the data base until it nears the all-inclusive status.
If a retailer is on your list, can I assume that all the products carried by that retailer are Made in the USA?
No. Only the items on the list were specifically researched and verified. The retailer may sell items with different origins.
If one product in a brand line is made in the USA can I assume that all products with that Brand name are made in the USA? No. Large companies may produce brand name items in multiple countries using the same brand name.
If a retailer is listed does that mean they have the product I want? At the time the information was collected, there were indications that the product was sold at that noted retailer. However, retailers often stop selling products and/or substitute with other brands. There are no guarantees.
When a particular product is listed, does that mean that it is the only product of its kind made in the USA?
No, not necessarily. There may be other products of the same type made in the USA. However, our limited time and resources control what we accumulate. Again, we expect that dedicated consumers and interested business will help build the database until it demonstrates a variety of each product.
Have any of these items been recalled? At the time the information was collected, none of the items had been recalled. You may check for recalls at this link product recall link.
For Manufactures and Retailers
Does MadeByYankees sell advertising space? Yes, advertising space is available. Advertising will be limited to specific products that meet the FTC Made in USA label criteria, companies who sell primarily American made products, and companies who offer services provided by American companies. We are not opposed to selling advertising space to a company whose product origin is very well documented and/or have a search function for “Made in USA” products. For a limited time MadeByYankees will offer exchange of service opportunities. Contact Us
