The Label and the Product

I a few days ado i wrote about my fascination about table tops and desktops.
I was interested and still am in making spaces more attractive and in the process
generating revenue. In the process of all of this i came across a product i purchased a
few months back.

The product has a lid with a cultural and historic message. Not only have i been sold a
nutritious product, i have also been educated in the process...and gained a more fuller knowledge of
a complex and controversial people group.

A few months ago the country had a push towards the Uganda products (Buy Ugandan).
Arguments and counterarguments for this abound and the case for quality need not be mentioned. Often the push may degenerate into regional and then cultural biases especially in countries where ethnicity as a means of identity rests close to the heats of people.
What this means is that there is a possibility that i will soon encourage people to buy western Ugandan or northern Ugandan or later on...focus only on certain products made by certain tribes.

What this label did for me was teleport me to ancient time in and then draw me into interesting possibilities for the alleviation of poverty.

There is great promise that people are beginning to purchase based purely on conscience, ideal and
feeling.  

Maybe little bits of history about your culture can serve as a step towards creating more useful products. Perhaps concern about the processes and people who are involved directly or indirectly in the manufacturing process can help get your products a little more attention.
