Shopping for lamps mean you’ve got to pay attention to their function, location and style, says Home. Is it going to be an accent lightning or will it serve as a task lighting? What kind of size and design will work for you? Do you need hanging lamps, table lamps or standing lamps?
Most of all, there’s the question of where to get them. There are plenty of advantages when you buy local and go for American made lamps. We list 4 here:
You create jobs
When you buy lamps made in the U.S., you help create local jobs and eliminate unemployment. You help more families and communities make it. You make a difference in the quality of their lives.
You help local businesses grow
When you buy something, you’re saying you want A over B. You’re saying what kind of products and companies you want in the market. So when you buy American made lamps, you make it possible for those products and companies to stay in business.
You improve the economy
The more jobs there are, the stronger the economy becomes. A solid and thriving economy is the foundation of every thriving and successful society. So when you help the economy, you’re also helping the dollar. You’re making sure it stays stable and strong as a financial currency.
You recycle dollars
When you buy locally-made goods, all the dollars remain in the U.S. economy. Local U.S. companies then use the money to pay off employees. Then employees spend it on domestic goods. That whole cycle means the dollars continue to be recycled here.
Keep these things in mind when you shop for lamps. You might not think buying local makes a big difference in the grand scheme of things. But it does. So make your every purchase count.
