CMTC Spotlight
CMTC recently engaged with Tail Lights Inc., an LED lighting array manufacturer, to help the company increase its sales through a customized marketing program. CMTC identified several consultants to assist in making three critical changes: 1) the Tail Lights website was completely redesigned – content was updated, navigation was streamlined, and eCommerce was accommodated; 2) search engine optimization was implemented; and 3) a social media campaign was initiated to create a network of influencers. As a result, Tail Lights experienced a 65% increase in website traffic which helped generate a sales increase of 47.8% within a year of the project’s completion. After the project concluded, CMTC also followed up with a lead generation campaign which improved customer awareness and found an alternate supplier of critical components.
Today’s customers are looking for American-made products because they associate them with quality. In fact, research studies have revealed that 60% of Americans are willing to pay more for products made here at home.

Our Quest: Advancing Product Labels to Help Consumers Consider Cybersecurity
Brought to you by NIST
For many decades, consumers have relied on labels to help them make decisions about which products to buy. Sometimes the labels make assertions about what ingredients or components the product uses.

Labels have assisted manufacturers and retailers to help consumers make more informed purchasing choices...
