			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Trade shows are a great way to meet manufacturers, touch and feel their products first hand, and place orders on the spot. Traveling to trade shows is a significant investment, but you can deduct the cost of your trip from the business. Trade shows are excellent for networking and learning from others in your industry. Most business owners only visit trade shows within the U.S. If you are interested in placing large orders, look into trade shows overseas. China has become the factory of the world in the past few decades. Trade shows in various parts of China are becoming larger and more popular every year. The Canton Fair is one of the largest trade shows in mainland China with hundreds of thousands of attendees and tens of thousands of exhibitors. It is such a huge show that it has two phases, each one week long.</p>
<p>Manufacturers at Chinese trade shows expect larger orders than exhibitors at U.S. based trade shows. A huge international trade show is an exhilarating experience. It may be your best option to find an inexpensive manufacturer for your products. Be careful about protecting your product. Patent it before you take it to China for manufacturing. Make sure the factory understands that you have a protected product, and they are not permitted to make the same product for any other company. Taking the manufacturing of your product to an inexpensive overseas factory is risky business, so consider it carefully. Every significant industry has some trade publications targeted manufacturers, wholesalers, distributors, and retailers. They are packed with sales advice, industry trends, business profiles, and advertisements. Many offer business directories that list suppliers and other key players. You&#8217;ll find information about industry events such as trade shows and conferences. You can even call the publication and ask for advice over the phone.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Small businesses in Western Australia and other parts of the country are being forced to close because they can&#8217;t find enough skilled people with trade and technical experience, reports Perth&#8217;s Sunday Times. Both local authorities and the federal government recognise that Australian immigration is the only answer to the labour shortage.</p>
<p>The owner of a steel security company, Ian Saggers, told the Sunday Times he was closing his business because he has not been able to find anyone to train his staff to use the equipment. This is despite owning what is potentially a multimillion-dollar turnover business.</p>
<p>Skilled tradespeople such as machine operators are being lured to the high-paying jobs offered by mining operations in the north. Many trades are on the Migration Occupations in Demand List (Australian MODL), entitling applicants for an Australian visa to extra points.</p>
<p>Immigration Minister Kevin Andrews recently acknowledged: &#8220;The reality in Australia today is we&#8217;ve got the lowest unemployment rate for 33 years, in states like Western Australia and Queensland in particular, it&#8217;s almost impossible to find some workers, in particularly skilled areas, and we&#8217;re crying out for workers, without which we wouldn&#8217;t be able to continue to run the economy of Australia.&#8221;</p>
<p>Western Australia Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CCI) chief executive John Langoulant told the Sunday Times they are calling for increases in the number of skilled workers being brought in from overseas.</p>
<p>&#8220;The chamber has been working with government and employers to develop innovative ways to solve the problem,&#8217; he said. &#8220;The chamber advocates the use of skilled immigration schemes to help industry and business meet their growing short-term labour needs. However, improvements can be made to the present system by allowing more overseas skilled workers to enter the country.&#8217;</p>
<p>Visa for Australia and Australia Visa Application made easy! Australian Working Visa made possible to easily have one!</p>
