Is your factory ready for the surge in demand that tariffs are quietly creating? Across the country, American-made manufacturers are getting calls they haven’t heard in years: 📞 “Can you still make that part?” 📞 “We’re switching back from overseas.” 📞 “How soon can you ship?” Why? 👉 Because with tariffs soaring—some as high as 145%—U.S.-made products are finally price competitive again. In Ohio, plants are running 24/7. In Louisiana, glove lines are restarting. In Massachusetts, shops are adding customers who left for China years ago. The tide is turning. But here’s the catch: Not every business is ready. Some are scaling up smart—with long-term contracts, production cost clarity, and systems in place. Others? Still flying blind with outdated sales processes and zero marketing visibility. This shift isn’t just patriotic. It’s economic. Strategic. Timely. ⚙️ If you’re an American manufacturer, this is your moment to reclaim margin, rebuild loyalty, and expand. But only if your marketing and sales operation are ready to scale like your production line already does. 💬 Are you seeing an increase in inquiries for your U.S.-made products? What’s holding you back from growing faster? #MadeInAmerica #ManufacturingGrowth #AmericanManufacturing #B2B #DigitalTransformation #Reshore #MarketingStrategy #WastageWarrior #CapitolDataAnalytics 📰 Based on reporting from “Trump’s Tariffs Are Lifting Some U.S. Manufacturers” by Jeanne Whalen and Bob Tita, The Wall Street Journal, May 4, 2025.

Did you know that around 30% of the total food in grocery stores is wasted, with perishables being the main contributors to this loss? The reliance on manual processes often leads to ineffective inventory management and expiration date tracking, resulting in avoidable waste. However, grocers are now exploring the use of RFID technology to revolutionize their fresh departments, enabling real-time item-level visibility and more efficient inventory control. Embracing automated inventory management through RFID could significantly reduce food wastage and enhance operational efficiency in grocery stores.
