RelationsI.Introduction 1.Information obtainable through the following channels:1)Communication in writing;2)Attendance at the export commodities fairs;3)Contact at the exhibitions held at home or

measures either for a newly established firm or an old one that wishes to enlarge its business scope and turnover.A writer of business letters can secure all the necessary information about a new customer with the help of the banks,the periodicals,the advertisements in newspapers or on TV,the introduction from his business connections,the market investigations,the Commercial Counsellors Office,the Chambers of Commerce both at home and abroad and so on.Business connections are of great value to firms engaged in foreign trade.So,traders must not only do what they can to consolidate
