I think that this kind of business expansion could be very profitable and accordingly to the video there are already communities dedicated to help people that want to go global with their smaller ideas. Definetly something that you might want to look at if you are loking to expand your small venture.
Manufacturing requires 80% upfront. A friend of mine was looking at getting things made in china and they wanted 80-85% of the money up front not after production. He was facing quality problems and couldn't get samples smaller then 10,000. It basically gave up. Maybe one could use made in america as part of their marketing campaign. Its actually quite hard to find something made in the USA if you look around. Most people don't realize they could purchase things by doing a search including GSA. GSA already screened and is a government approved provider of goods and services. All those goods and services must be done within the United States. Proof had to be provided and its checked randomly in order to continue to be a government approved provider.
The article did mention using manufacturing over seas but I go agree with Rodger about using Made in US as marketing campaign. Businesses can still expand to overseas, using the web now has made ordering and shipping more streamlined so products can be delievered in a fairly quick manner. I think a good example of this is the comapny the someone posted on earlier Tom's shoes? Small company, big success.
