Something I wanted to ask for a long time:
> Many of the T100′s components are American made and sourced. It’s assembled in the USA. We’re proud of that.
Is that "made in the USA" thing really such a big selling point in the US? Because to me as an European that really is a little alienating. A "made in the US" logo - ok. But pointing out the proudness in marketing materials? Strange.
- agildehaus 12y agoThere's a feeling that manufacturing jobs are leaving the US at a quick rate, that anything we can do to keep them here is a 'good thing', and supporting companies that keep jobs here is equally good. Marketing as such is therefore just trying to take advantage of that.
- diminoten 12y agoIt is, oddly enough. It's interesting that this particular product would make use of the gimmick, however, given it's potential international market.
