Oz branding key following TPP signing

Australian_made logoThe Australian Made Campaign has issued a reminder to businesses to boost country of origin branding on products and produce as part of their strategy to leverage the new export opportunities available via the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP).

“The TPP will significantly reduce trade barriers, opening up new markets for Aussie growers and manufacturers, but it is important that they make the most of the marketing opportunity presented by ‘being Aussie’,” Australian Made Campaign CEO, Ian Harrison, said.

“Prominent country of origin branding will play a key role in driving sales in the Pacific region, which has demonstrated increasing demand for Australian products and produce.”

The Australian Made Campaign administers and promotes the country’s only registered country of origin certification trade mark for all classes of Australian goods, the green and gold Australian Made, Australian Grown kangaroo logo.

“Australia has earned itself a reputation for making and growing high quality products and produce, with the Australian dollar falling in value, demand for Aussie exports is growing strongly,” Mr Harrison said.

“For many small businesses involved in export, the Australian Made, Australian Grown logo, with its proven, established links to Australia, becomes their strongest brand in the marketplace.”

The logo is already a registered certification trade mark in TPP nations, Singapore and the USA. Plans for further registrations are underway.
