Dear VBNF Members and Colleagues:

October has been a very busy week in Vancouver. VBNF has been working hard holding our meetings and attending business events held by our friends.

Here is the list of meetings and events we have attended.

  • CCAA dinner with our honourable Premier Steven Harper See VBNF and Harper at the dinner
  • China 's National Day dinner

CESC group

  • Farewell Dinner with our favourite Consul General of China
  • Trade Commission presentation from the Changzhou of China
  • CESC inauguration dinner
  • Ethno Business Council/SUCCESS event
  • Breakfast with Minister Colin Hansen

Alex Au-Yeung and Colin Hansen

While we were having fun at the meetings/events, we were making great contacts, making friends and building relationship with many great business people out there.

One of the VBNF mandate is to help bridging the East and West to improve our economy in BC and Canada . We hear Gateway to Asia very often from many business groups out there, as well as from our Government officials, Steven Harper, Gordon Campbell, Colin Hansen and the Chinese Consul. VBNF is here to help out and help our members to learn how to do business in China and vice versa. See the attached article: Economic Report - B.C.'s Asia Pacific Advantage.

Our next business networking event is just to do that. We worked with University of Phoenix to organize the next business meeting and seminar to help new immigrants learn how to be successful doing business in Canada . VBNF has the contacts. Just let us know if you need any help and help is on the way.

The cost of manufacturing in Canada or the States is at least 10 times higher than in China or in Asia . Our technology transfer guru can help your company set up manufacturing facilities in China to lower your cost as well as helping you expand your business in China . We know the people, the business practice and the know how to make it a successful venture for you. VBNF has many professional members to help you do that. Just contact us and help will be on the way.

Having business with China or Asia is not a one way street. We do want to bring new products into China . CA Telcom is just doing that. As CA Telcom has a sister company in China , we can help export the Canadian goods to China too. Of course, many of our members have been doing that already. If you would like to get into this vast market in China and Asia , please contact us and we shall help you out.

You are having a successful business but you are not doing as well as you would like, you should talk to CMY Designs to help you out. At CMY Designs (Say See My Designs ), they can help design your logo, build your branding and most of all build a website you need to promote your business and save your Operations costs. There are many new ways to help make your business, namely:

  • Graphics Designs – Let their award winning designers design the most appropriate graphics for your business. With over 20 years of design experience, they can design your logo, branding, stationery, brochure, booklet covers, annual reports, signage, pamphlets, business cards, etc.
  • Website Designs that work – Let the professionals do the job right for your business. Don't build a website that makes your business look cheap. A good looking and well-organized website can make you look like a multi-million dollar company. Build a website that can tell your customer about your company. Let them make the informed decision. Don't waste their time and yours.
  • SEO (Search Engine Optimization) – so people can find your website from Search Engine
  • Advanced Graphics Designs – attract people to stay with your website and turn them from browsers to buyers
  • Video online – Have your own TV ad on your own website, Have your training done by video and let your customers learn at their own pace. See http://www.vbnf.com/videostreaming.php .
  • Ecommerce – Have your products sold online without the need to answer phone calls and taking orders. Let your customer do all the jobs and let the website do the business for you while you are on vacation. Save money on the employees.
  • eSolutions – Use the website to do the operations for your business. Many successful businesses are still using the traditional way to do business. FAX is good but very time consuming when you need to have a few personnel handling the information received from FAX. They have to compile the data and translate them into meaningful reports to Sales records, business analysis, Inventory control, Logistics, maintenance and even order processing. The Enterprises are doing that to save Operations cost. Why not you.
  • Consulting Services – CMY Designs is comprised of a team of professionals each has at least 25 years of experience in their specific fields. Let them help you increase your market share as well as cutting the cost and time to process your business.
  • Build a website that makes money for you by doing absolutely nothing. See http://www.vbnf.com/ Ads by Google. Let your customer click on the Ads and Google will pay you for helping bringing potential customers to their sponsors.
  • Use Google Ad Word to make money for you. See http://www.healthandinvest.com . If anyone use the Google Search box to search anything, Google will pay you.
  • Make money on Affiliate Marketing – You affiliated companies will pay you to bring business to them. E.g. EBay, Amazon and many others.
  • Let the website generate its own content with the latest information around the world or locally. See http://www.vbnf.com/business_news.php .
  • Make your website the Home Page of your customer's computer. Make it the main resource website that your customers only need to go to if they need any information or access to the resources or other websites.

Many Internet Marketing companies will sell you a package to build the website on your own. Ask yourself; are you good at Graphics Designs? Do you know what to put in to help improve the SEO and get more traffic? Do they show you how to add the applications to help your business? More over, do you have the time to do it right? If your answers are negative, you can contact CMY Designs for help.

VBNF is your marketing tools. Let us inform our visitors about your business. We will also send over 6,000 business emails about your business from our database. Many are from outside Canada . We work with other ethnic and mainstream business groups in Vancouver . They can pass our messages to their group members too.
