Why b. dazzle, inc. Chose North America Company’s Principles Drive Quality Production
In order for b. dazzle, inc. products to compete with products made in Asia and other very low-cost labor markets, we work very hard to maintain a very low overhead.  ALL IN A DAY’S WORKKathie and I each have the responsibilities and duties of what would be at least three full-time jobs in the usual corporate setting. In addition to our executive management, product design and literary duties, both Kathie and I staff our wholesale trade show exhibit booths for at least 20 trade shows annually. We work an average of 12 hours per day, six days per week, and generally work from four to six hours on Sundays. Because we have a commitment to outstanding customer service, but must maintain very tight staffing, we are careful to employ and keep in our employment only those persons who consider service to be a virtue and who are eager to be of help to others, especially to our customers!  PRACTICALITY IN PRACTICEWe have both altruistic and practical reasons for producing our products in America. On a practical basis, we believe that quality sells, and we believe that we have a much better control over the quality of our products when they are made in America. In addition to maintaining high quality standards, our service standards require that we maintain in stock what our customers want to order. For that reason, we do not want to have our customers' orders delayed while we wait for transoceanic freight to arrive and clear customs. ALTRUISTIC CONCERNS Our altruistic reasons are themselves practical when one considers the big picture. Many products sold in America are made offshore in factories that are little more than sweat shops. Some even employ child labor, housed in dormitories.  Some of these factories make a business of producing cheap copies of original products created by entrepreneurs who have invested their ingenuity and great amounts of their money, their energy and their time. We believe that greed spawns a vicious circle of greed, which ultimately undermines our economy and society, ironically costing the jobs of the very American workers who have chosen to support offshore manufacturing by buying cheap copies of products innovated in America. We cannot imagine a circumstance that would cause us to abandon our values. There are principles more important than profits. Here are a few of b. dazzle, inc.’s North American-made products:
