Domestic sourcing

Domestic sourcing is the activity of contracting for goods or services that are delivered or manufactured within the buyer's home country's borders.

After sales, exchange or refunds of faulty products will benefit as well; as it is always easier to communicate with local business rather than international cooperations.

[2] Business or retailers who have strong relationships with local suppliers do not have to go through a long supply chain which will help to reduce the cost of sales, resulting in attracting more consumers with a lower selling price.

Further, local business tend to give more wages than most corporate chains, which means that employees will receive more disposable income.

Made in American could also reduce the transportation and inventory cost for Walmart, hence a lower sell price could benefit consumer at same time.

[15] Certain domestic goods can be very expensive compared to other countries, so business that attempt to sell locally can find sales hurting if demand for such products are low.

Export firms who chose to use more expensive domestic resources may lose their competitiveness in the global market due to higher cost of production, oversea demand will shrink eventually and with a consequence of a negative balance of trade and affect national GDP (Consumption + Investment + Government spending + (Export – Import))[16]
