AND NOW MY WONDERFUL CONVERSATION WITH THE OWNER OF SWISSMADE.DIRECT, YVES... 


You care clearly proud of your Swiss heritage and the quality of products you have. How do those two go hand-in-hand?

The sense of quality has been developed in Switzerland over generations. This proves that Switzerland has many "old" companies which still are producing their products in our country. The quality concept is also reflected in the structure of our country, which provides stability and quality for companies and employees, so that quality and added value for the products can be created. In a country where peace and unity prevail, the economy can concentrate its focus on production and development.

What inspired you to start this business?

I traveled a lot. Whenever I talked to people, I got to hear that these people liked one or another product in Switzerland, but they were not available at home. Or the product is available, but does not taste the same as in Switzerland. The people in the world should have the opportunity to get the original Swiss products on swissmade.direct without that they have to travel to Switzerland (except they want visit our country for holiday).

  

Which are your personal favorite products?

This is not an easy question as all products are great. Ok, what I realy like are the essential oil inhalers, Aromastick. For supporting concentration, focus, relax or whatever, even for weightcontrol or for pains… The second one are the antibacterial-pens which is an amazing products. From the food of course the chocolates and Rivella. The list is long it we will have in the future more and more products.

What is your favorite kind of chocolate?

The white chocolate Frey “Tourist with raisins, hazelnuts and almonds”, the white Lindt “Mousse chocolate”, the Minor Mini Bar chocolate and the Swiss Army chocolate.

I am in the US; you can ship to me?

Yes, of course. We ship all over the world (except there are restrictions).

Tell me something surprising that Americans probably would not know about the Swiss.

The Swiss love spontaneity - as long as it is planned.

The opposite of the Americans as I learned it during my travels in your country.

Also, uncomfortable matters are often addressed indirectly in Switzerland. Many conversation partners will only use disguised criticism. Nonetheless they will expect the criticism to be taken seriously. Direct confrontation is avoided in order to preserve harmony when conflicts do arise. For example, one may receive a letter from an irritated neighbour. If a situation is unclear it is better to ask again than not to be sure. 

Anything else to add? 

Sure, we have also developed an affiliate program so we can give back to people who support us or like to work with us. The registering is free and it is not needed that somebody has to be a customer from swissmade.direct.
