The Maine Attraction

In This Episode

Pine trees, town names, accent, deep history– a lot of things can be implied by a simple location. And according to the data, people respond to it as well. On this episode of The Briefcase, Ric Tyler discusses the image, the advantages, and the responsibility that comes with the phrase “Made in Maine”. What You’ll Learn

• According to a 2024 survey, 60% of Mainers think Maine-made products are superior to products made elsewhere.
• While for some products it might be a small advantage, in the business world, you should take any advantages you have.
• Customers do judge books by their covers, and this goes both ways: by saying your product was made in Maine, you can rely on state pride to carry you far. But you also need to make sure your quality reflects it, or the customer will be all the more disappointed.
