The
viability of
the barter
industry, as
well as the
features and
benefits of
membership
in a trade
exchange,
has been
profiled by
such
national
media
outlets as
The Wall
Street
Journal, CBS
News' The
Early Show,
Marketing
Concepts,
Kiplinger's,
Costco,
Family
Circle, Good
Housekeeping,
and
Opportunity
magazine.
Here are
some
excerpts
from these,
and other
news
articles:
"Barter
gives
clients a
competitive
edge. Barter
network
members tend
to shop
within the
system
first, and
satisfied
barter
customers
make
referrals to
cash
customers." -
Kiplinger's
"More
and more
women are
bartering
for
everything
from
pet-sitting
services to
airline
tickets. To
get the most
out of
barter, you
must have a
talent or
product that
other people
want.
Services can
make even
better swaps
than
products
because
they're a
renewable
source." - Family
Circle
magazine
"Barter
exchanges
help
cash-strapped
entrepreneurs
stimulate
sales,
develop new
clients,
convert
excess
capacity or
inventory
into
revenue, and
acquire
goods and
services
needed to
conduct a
business.
The most
important
benefit of
barter is
cash
conservation:
keeping cash
in the bank
while using
barter
revenue to
offset
normal
operating
costs." - Nation's
Restaurant
News
"Evolving
from
one-to-one
trades among
businesses,
bartering
now mainly
takes place
through
large
exchanges in
which
businesses
receive
trade
credits
instead of
cash that
they can
spend on a
multitude of
items from
other firms.
Even large
corporations
increasingly
are using
barter
networks
rather than
handling
excess
products
over to
liquidators." - Chicago
Tribune
"Arkansas
companies
are learning
how to get
what they
need without
spending
cash.
Businesses
including
restaurants
and airlines
trade
services and
products, in
return
earning a
form of
currency -
trade
dollars -
that then
can be used
to buy goods
and
services." - Arkansas
Democrat
Gazette
"The
most
important
part of
barter is
getting new
business,"
says Tom
McDowell,
Retired
Executive
Director of
the National
Association
of Trade
Exchanges.
"When
someone
joins an
exchange
they're
exposed to
hundreds of
new
potential
customers
locally and
thousands
around the
country.
With
competition
so stiff
today,
barter helps
drive those
customers
past your
competition
and into
your door." - Marketing
Concepts,
Restaurant
issue
"Experts
estimate
that
millions of
companies,
especially
young ones,
employ
barter as a
regular or
occasional
business
tool. Barter
provides one
important
benefit:
helping
companies
dispose of
excess
inventory by
trading it
for valuable
goods or
services.
That can be
especially
useful for
startups
whose
markets
aren't
developed
enough to
consume all
their
capacity." - Entrepreneur.com
"We're
the only
business not
affected by
the economy.
When the
economy gets
bad, we see
a surge of
new members.
But when the
economy is
in
turnaround,
we see
growth in
volume among
existing
members." - Tom
McDowell,
quoted in International
Journal of
Community
Currency
Research
"North
American
companies
barter for
incremental
business —
over and
above their
day-to-day
cash
business —
in excess of
$2 billion
annually" - GCSAA Leader
Board
"If
you're low
on cash and
up for new
business,
bartering
for goods
and services
can be a
shrewd
business
move." - BusinessWeek
