c Page 12 New Made in USA Program Will Be Launched A new advertising campaign aimed at maximizing consumer motivation to buy “Made in U.S.A.” apparel and home fashions will be launched this Thanksgiving Day (November 26) by the Crafted with Pride in U.S.A. Council. Designed to build on the success of its initial celebrity-oriented campaign and based on the findings of extensive consum er research, the new campaign created by Warwick Advertising will be targeted to wo men in the 25-54 age group, the most in fluential market segment for purchasing apparel. “Our objective to date has been to gener ate the largest possible consumer awareness of our“Madein U.S.A." message, and we’ve accomplished that," says Robert Swift, ex ecutive director of the Crafted with Pride in U.S.A. Council. "Now we plan to build on that success and fine-tune the program by delivering our message in the most motivat ing manner possible to the most well- defined, influential audience." To that end, the Council is adding daytime network advertising to its current media mix of primetime shows and evening news in order to get its message to both working and non-working women in the target group. “The new commercials take a more empathetic approach to the consumers by directly addressing their considerations and concerns when shopping," says Swift. "To begin with, we have found that most women regard shopping for clothes as work, and their primary considerations are color, style, price, material, quality and fit. But our re search also shows that when a consumer’s selection is ‘Made in U.S.A.’ there is a strong emotional value added to the purch ase — because it makes the shopper feel good. "The new commercials acknowledge the decisions to be made when shopping and reinforce the benefit of buying clothes ma de in the U.S.A. with the message, ‘I feel better,”' Swift noted. Since June, 1984, the Crafted with Pride in U.S.A. Council has conducted ongoing research — over 25 original studies — among consumers, retailers and apparel manufacturers to help guide its advertising program. Swift notes that the research proves that consumers do perceive U.S.- made apparel to offer superior value. Among the other reasons given by interviewed con sumers for feeling better about "buying America": "It keeps the dollars in this coun try," "It keeps America strong," and "It helps our workers."
