			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Is outsourcing the way to go for the future, sure great you can have no stress of staff timetables and personality conflicts but you have no control you cannot be sure who is doing the job, you cannot stop a mistake because you do not see the goods until the job is done.</p>
<p>If you are going to outsource you need to outsource to professionals that have been in the business for a reasonable amount of time, that can deliver within your timeframe.  Professionals that understand the job, that can provide a production approval and do the job to your job sheet specification.. Whoa sounds like you need www.garmentmakers.com or www.completetz.com.au &#8211; now these are my preferred garment and decoration suppliers.</p>
<p>But when I want some artwork or web assistance, well I used to struggle to do my own but now I just go to www.freelancer.com and look at the picture that someone has done for me for a job proof.. Of course now I will manufacture these garments at our factory.  These will be worn by day spa staff at a known Melbourne Hotel, these are non-iron easy care garments, and the girls will look great.</p>
<p>So if you are going to outsource select carefully and beware of outsourcing to countries like Pakistan and people who just contact you on the web from China, use reliable suppliers and distributors.  Hey you might get some orders through and they are great, but then it all goes pear shaped, goods don&#8217;t arrive or arrive hugely late and wrong count.. they smell and they don&#8217;t fit &#8211; then your customer will be unhappy and you will be in a &#8216;situation&#8217; or they will do a few jobs for you from Pakistan, you always have to pay upfront and then &#8211; boom- they take your money and you get no goods delivered!</p>
<p>Take care with outsourcing, we are lucky enough to have our own team sewing here in our local factory and to have our own factory in Fiji, we control the pattern design, the fabric, the cutting, the sewing specs and we deliver the best garments to you.</p>
<p>New too we can now make you a custom bespoke business shirt, top quality fabrics super super looking and delivered to your door.. so the world is full of endless products and endless opportunities.. look for fun you are busy, get the digital camera and load the images that are still sitting on it intw www.completetz.com.au and you can create within minutes a family photobook with stories and page decorations and images.. now you can get back to work and within days the bound book will arrive at your door!  you will love your family photobook and want one for each member so you just reorder your own book is printed delivered and if you want you can have an e-book too!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Thanks Lee and thanks Dylan.  It is really nice to get some comments on the blog.. I am impressed!</p>
<p>I look forward to finding out more about your fabrics Lee.  It was nice to meet you at the Business Awards Dylan and congratulations on your win.  I think we are all winners to be living here and working here!  No Harbour Bridge traffic delays..</p>
<p>The awards were a great night and they are another example of supporting the local community and networking in a small town.  Surprisingly they are highly competitive as there are a substantial number of successful business operators here.</p>
<p>Gentle Giants entered the small business manufacturing section.  We are one of the few uniform suppliers/uniform wholesalers left that still manufacturers a large amount of product in Australia.  We do also have to be competitive on the world market so we manufacture off shore too!  I have been amazed to find that many companies that supply school uniforms and sports team apparel actually do not make the garments nor do they do the embroidery and printing.  We do it all and it keeps us busy and it keeps us happy.</p>
<p>Business is busy-ness!.</p>
<p>If you are in a smaller population area I urge you to join your Local Chamber of Commerce and attend these award nights.  If you do not have time to put forward a submission then perhaps enter into a sponsorship arrangement with the Chamber and supply some giveaways and/or sponsor a particular award.  You will get great publicity out of it!</p>
<p>So our website is picking up more traffic now, we have a new design and quote maker feature on the website and seems a lot of people are enjoying have a play with design, uploading graphics, names and numbers to the shirts and emailing in for quotes and comments.  I am still running the older Garment design feature on the site also.</p>
<p>Let me know what you think of the features, do you prefer the first <a title="Garment Generator" href="http://www.gentlegiants.com.au/garmentgen.htm" target="_self">Garment Generator</a> or do you prefer the new <a href="http://www.gentlegiants.com.au/dqm2008/bin/DQM2008.html" target="_self">Quote and Design Maker</a>.</p>
<p>Keep the comments flowing!</p>
<p>cheers</p>
<p>Gentle Giants</p>
