Chicago is the largest concentration of Poles in the world (1.5 million). The Polish diaspora consists of hundreds, thousands, and even hundreds of thousands of consumers who choose Polish products more readily than others. Poles in the USA want to buy Polish products. They do not merely want to buy them, but also promote them.
Bolesławiec ceramics – useful art
No one in Bolesławiec needs to be convinced of the merits of Bolesławiec ceramics. It is beautiful handicraft combined with practical applications. Bolesławiec ceramics are perfect for everyday use. They can even be used in microwave ovens. They are unique because they are simultaneously a decoration, a gift and a keepsake. They can and should be shown off. They remind everyone who has lived outside Poland’s borders for a long time of Poland. Poles appreciate them, but do Americans appreciate them too (and do they know them)?
Ceramics in the kitchen and ceramics as a gift
There are many possibilities. Bolesławiec ceramics are already being promoted and sold by Dom itp www.domitp.com, a chain of stores in the USA. Dom itp stores are owned by Poles who believe that Bolesławiec stoneware can conquer the entire American market. The Polish diaspora in America, and young members of the Polish community in particular, can make Bolesławiec ceramics fashionable throughout the United States. “Beautiful Polish products in every Polish kitchen,” “A ceramic gift for your loved ones” and “A keepsake from the capital of Polish ceramics” are just some of the slogans and ideas conceived by the owners of Dom itp stores in Chicago to promote Bolesławiec ceramics.
The Dom itp www.domitp.com chain of stores already cooperates with “Manufaktura” and Zakłady Ceramiczne Bolesławiec. At the same time, it wants to cooperate with other companies producing Bolesławiec ceramics. The owners of Dom itp stores are considering combining the sale of ceramic products with exhibitions presenting the ranges of individual manufacturers. In the opinion of the owners of the Dom itp chain, the ceramics festival should also come to Chicago and other cities in the USA. The Polish diaspora hopes that the Glinoludy will one day visit the United States as well. The Dom itp chain wants to sell products from all ceramic manufacturers—both large and small.
The chain will buy both production leftovers and surplus products (so-called stocks) from ceramic manufacturers. In addition, the chain is interested in a very broad and diverse range. Dom itp www.domitp.com wants to sell products from all ceramic manufacturers in Bolesławiec and Bolesławiec County. A Bolesławiec Ceramics Center is also to be established in Chicago. Similar centers may be established in other cities in the USA as well.
The internet is, of course, an excellent promotional tool for selling ceramics. Through the internet, one can reach every corner of the USA. The Dom itp chain of stores already operates a very popular online store, www.domitp.com, whose main slogan is “Everything best from Poland at Dom itp.”
Bolesławiec–Chicago Container Connection!
The Dom itp www.domitp.com chain of stores also plans to establish a Bolesławiec–Chicago Container Connection. A container from the USA will be transported to Bolesławiec. Manufacturers cooperating with the Dom itp www.domitp.com chain will deliver their products directly into it. Once the container is filled with products, it will return to Chicago. Then it will travel from Chicago back to Bolesławiec.
As many people as possible should join the project: manufacturers of Bolesławiec ceramics, the Polish diaspora in the USA, the authorities of Bolesławiec and the people of Bolesławiec themselves. Only then will the project have a chance of succeeding. Effective advertising, and thus the project’s success, requires as many promotional items as possible, so-called gifts away, such as small mugs and small cups. Bolesławiec ceramics can conquer the USA. It is all in our hands. We invite you to cooperate and do business together.
The Dom itp chain invites you to cooperate
