Readers Respond: Made in USA momentum?

Here at HBSDealer, we're fans of periodically checking in with our readers regarding the ebb and flow of Made in USA goods to their shelves.

This year, rather than asking whether retailers feel as though Made in USA sways customers to choose one product over the other, we focused on the proof in the pudding: whether the amount of Made in USA goods were, in fact, taking up a larger share of shelf space.

In a poll earlier this week, we asked: "Which of the following best describes your Made in USA approach to merchandising, compared to a year ago: we carry more Made in USA items; we carry fewer Made in USA items; or we carry about the same number of Made in USA products?"

The majority -- 56% -- reported no major change in merchandising.

However, another 35% said they were carrying more items than the year before. In comparison, only 9% reported a decrease.
