About

BRIEF HISTORY

Over the last 60 years the United States has lost much of its manufacturing dominance
and is becoming a nation of service industry jobs.

  • In the 1960s major manufacturers began moving out of America
  • Steel and heavy industry began moving to China in the 1970s
  • Much of the textile and apparel industry began moving to China, India, and
    Vietnam in the 1980s and 1990s
  • In the 1990s much of the automotive industry moved to Mexico, China, and
    Eastern Europe
  • Call centers and other IT services began moving to India and the Philippines
    in the 1990s
  • Electronics manufacturers began moving in the 1990s to China, Tiawan, and
    South Korea

The result has been the loss of millions of good-paying middle-class jobs and a steady
erosion of the American middle class.

What The Directory Is

Buy American Let’s Amerify, Inc. (BALA) is an independent, non-political company that aims to help rebuild the middle class in the United States of America by helping grow manufacturing and service companies in our great country.  BALA created the “National Directory of American Companies and Their Products and Services” to give U.S.-formed companies a stronger, more visible place to showcase what they offer and to help buyers easily discover American businesses across all industries—including manufacturers, wholesalers, retailers, dealers, mining, farming, contractors, nonprofits, and service companies.

BALA is designed to help American-formed businesses grow together. Our directory gives companies an affordable way to increase visibility, promote their products and services, and connect with both consumers and other businesses that want to buy from U.S.-formed organizations. Companies can highlight which products are fully or partially manufactured or assembled in the United States, making it easier for buyers to make informed purchasing decisions and support businesses that are investing here at home. Most advertising on BALA is FREE, and for companies that choose to sell through the platform, BALA’s pricing is intentionally business-friendly: just $1, plus 1% of the product or service price, plus standard bank or credit card processing charges. That means businesses can keep more of every sale while gaining meaningful exposure in a growing national directory. Even more importantly, BALA encourages a powerful cycle of mutual growth—where businesses advertise to one another, buy from one another, and strengthen each other through shared support. At the same time, consumers can use the directory to find and purchase from U.S.-formed companies whose products and services align with their values. When businesses and consumers actively support one another through BALA, it can lead to stronger sales, greater brand loyalty, more hiring, better wages, and broader economic opportunity. Add your company today and become part of a positive movement that helps American businesses thrive together.

Pricing and Selling Fees

Because the directory is new, we are offering a limited-time annual subscription price that is FREE. After this introductory period, the regular price is just $10 per month (120 per year)—an affordable investment for meaningful visibility in a growing national directory focused exclusively on U.S.-formed companies. Joining BALA gives your business the opportunity to be discovered by consumers who want to support American-formed organizations and by other companies looking to advertise with, buy from, and build relationships with fellow U.S.-formed businesses. Simply select the red button at the bottom of the first page and follow the instructions to add your company to the Buy American Lets Amerify (BALA) directory. You can advertise your products and services at NO ADDITIONAL COST, giving your business even more value from the moment you join. If you choose to sell through our site, the fee is only $1 + 1% of the product or service price + standard credit card/ACH processing charges—far below the 30% to 50% selling fees charged by many other platforms. That means you can keep more of every sale while gaining more exposure, attracting more buyers, and increasing your opportunity for profitable growth. BALA is built to encourage a positive cycle of support: businesses promoting one another, businesses purchasing from one another, and consumers intentionally choosing products and services from U.S.-formed companies. With low costs, strong visibility, and a mission that resonates with both businesses and buyers, BALA offers a powerful reason to join now and grow with a community committed to shared success.

How Your Listing Works

When you join BALA, you’ll answer a few simple questions that help us create a strong, appealing listing for your company. The more specific and engaging your information is, the more effectively your listing can attract attention from both consumers and other businesses looking for trusted U.S.-formed companies to buy from, promote, and build relationships with. We encourage you to share your company’s background, what makes your products or services valuable, and any details that highlight quality, uniqueness, reliability, or your commitment to serving customers well. Using your information, we will draft a professional description of your company and its products and services for you, and you can edit, improve, or update it whenever you like. If you offer products that are fully or partially manufactured or assembled in the United States, identifying that clearly can make your listing even more compelling to buyers who want to support American-based business activity. A strong listing can do more than describe your business—it can help increase visibility, encourage other businesses to advertise with and purchase from you, and motivate consumers to choose your products and services with confidence.

Who Can Join

If your organization is formed in the United States, it is welcome to join the BALA directory. This includes U.S.-formed sole proprietorships, partnerships, LLCs, S-corporations, C-corporations, nonprofits, and many other U.S.-formed entities across a wide range of industries. Our goal is to create a strong, growing national network of American-formed businesses where companies can increase visibility, advertise their products and services, connect with other businesses, and encourage both business buyers and consumers to purchase from them. With few exceptions, we welcome U.S.-formed companies even if some or all of the products or services they offer are not made in the United States, because we believe supporting U.S.-formed organizations can still help strengthen business growth, job creation, and economic opportunity here at home. At the same time, we reserve the absolute right to decline or remove any company that we determine, in our sole discretion, is not a good or appropriate fit for the directory.

Why It Matters

BALA’s mission is to help rebuild and strengthen America’s middle class by creating more opportunities for U.S.-formed businesses to grow, connect, and succeed together. When your company joins the directory, it becomes part of a positive movement that not only increases your visibility, but also helps encourage a stronger marketplace where businesses can advertise to one another, purchase from one another, and build lasting relationships that support shared success. The more companies that participate, the more powerful the directory becomes as a place where business buyers and consumers can intentionally discover and support U.S.-formed organizations across many industries. This kind of mutual support can help drive more sales, stronger brand recognition, greater customer loyalty, more hiring, and broader economic opportunity in communities across the country. At the same time, consumers who want to make purposeful purchasing decisions can use BALA to find companies whose products and services align with their values and business preferences. By joining now, your company can gain early exposure in a growing national directory, strengthen its reputation, and become part of a larger, optimistic effort focused on business growth, community support, and long-term shared prosperity.

Call to Action

For companies focused on growth, BALA also offers a powerful business advantage: the opportunity to improve margins and increase profits more aggressively than many traditional selling platforms allow. With a free introductory listing, no added advertising cost for promoting your products and services, and selling fees that are dramatically lower than the 30% to 50% charged by many competitors, your business has more room to keep more of every sale. That means more revenue can stay inside your company to support expansion, stronger cash flow, better marketing, improved wages, additional hiring, and reinvestment in future growth. As more customers intentionally look for U.S.-formed businesses through BALA, your company can benefit from greater visibility, stronger buyer trust, and more opportunities to convert interest into sales. For many businesses, that combination of lower costs, higher exposure, and a stronger value message can become a meaningful driver of faster growth and significantly higher profitability.
