![]() ![]() Some retailers that felt pressure from the boycotts have confirmed they will continue to carry Trump products or don't regret their decision to support Trump. Some cited dwindling sales others didn't provide an official statement. The other companies - Bellacor, Wayfair, Zulily, RueLaLa, and Stein Mart- removed Trump merchandise soon after the election. Trump no longer appears on-screen on "Celebrity Apprentice," but he still serves as executive producer and generates income from the program. On January 18, Kawasaki USA spokesperson Kevin Allen told The New York Times that the company will drop its sponsorship of "The New Celebrity Apprentice," unless Trump cut ties with the show. This means if an apartment complex normally sold at $1,000 per square foot, it could sell for $1,250 per square foot with Trump's name on it. A-list celebrities like Derek Jeter typically have an added brand value of about 15%, Passikoff says. The following percentages - which span more than two decades - are therefore not completely non-partisan, but nonetheless offer insight about Trump's brand.īefore Trump declared his candidacy, the overall added value for Trump's brand was 25%. Passikoff says the firm did not track the political affiliation of its survey respondents until Trump declared his candidacy, but that there have been equal numbers of participants who identify as Republicans, Democrats, and Independents since he entered the running. Though Brand Keys normally conducts client-funded research, these surveys are part of an ongoing internal study. To gather its data for its Trump surveys, the firm asks people how much they think particular products are worth (both with and without Trump's name). people not buying products connected to a brand that now is connected to the US presidency), we can look to Trump's brand power over the past few years for some answers.īrand Keys continually surveys consumers nationwide about Trump, with each sample around 1,800 people. It often indicates a user profile.Īlthough Passikoff says there's no historical model to compare the Trump boycotts to (i.e. Worth checking out if you’re in need of a mask you can comfortably wear for extended periods.Account icon An icon in the shape of a person's head and shoulders. The price would prevent me from buying a whole bunch of them because I’m, y’know, super cheap, but if I was needing a good mask for more frequent wear (if I worked outside the home, for example) I would spring for a couple of HALOmasks for sure. The bottom line? It’s a really comfortable, effective, nice mask. I don’t know which one of those two things made the difference, but I can tell you that normally a stint in one of my masks ends with a slightly sweaty face, and yesterday I wore my new HALO mask for an hour and when I took it off I was still cool and comfy, and not sweaty at all. I make a few different designs but sometimes there’s a gap.ĥ) My masks are cotton, which I consider to be a very breathable fabric, right? HALO masks bill themselves as both moisture-wicking and super breathable. Hmm.Ĥ) Their lining is a soft bamboo material-super comfy-and the chin bit is actually a separate stretchy panel that means there is zero gapping at the chin no matter your face shape. Point to HALO.ģ) The masks come in 4 different sizes (I only make 3) and mine fit my face perfectly. But their elastic is ridiculously soft and even after long wear, there’s no chafing. Okay, we’re even.Ģ) They have adjustable ear loops, which I also make. Let’s review:ġ) They have a really sturdy nose clip, like the ones I use. They sent me a mask and I’m about to eat my words, because as much as I’d looked at their retail price of $35 and rolled my eyes (though right now there’s an available $5 off coupon at Amazon, but still), these masks make mine look like torture devices. I mean, theirs have a nanofilter, so the filtration would be better, but the actual user experience of wearing the mask would be about the same, right? I’ll be honest: most of you know I spent most of last year sewing and donating masks, and I’d gone through a few different iterations of trying different designs and materials and tweaking patterns, and I didn’t figure a mass-produced mask was going to be terribly different than the ones I make. Ahem.Īnyway! While I was gone, the nice folks at HALOLIFE reached out to me to ask if I’d like to try one of their HALOmasks. As the meme says, I could really go for some precedented times, right about now. I took a little time off and then the world was still on fire and so I’ve been mostly off doing other things. ![]() ![]() Hello! I trust everyone had a pleasant holiday season. ![]()
