Bartering up as economy down - Businesses embrace trading for goods instead of laying out cash
By KRISTY EPPLEY RUPON - April 25th 2010

Over the past 30 years, Columbia artist Jeff Donovan has bartered for artwork, tuition for his daughter's private school, a custom-made suit and, most recently, a couple of visits to the dentist. Bartering gives Donovan a way to use his talent - instead of having to pay cash - to get things he might never buy for himself.Bartering, trading goods or services rather than charging cash, is an ancient practice. But it has gained popularity during the economic meltdown that left many short on cash but rich in talent or treasures.

In Lean Times, Restaurants Barter for Trade Services By JULIE JARGON Independent restaurants are turning to an old-fashioned method to fill tables, barter. As they struggle to keep customers and pay the monthly bills, restaurants are swapping food for services like oven-hood cleaning and pest control. Bartering helps restaurants fill seats, reassuring prospective customers who might be turned off by the sight of a vacant eatery. It also attracts new customers when tradespeople bring friends along, reduces some costs, and helps retain employees who can't scoop tips off empty tables. It's hardly a permanent fix for ailing restaurants, which still need cash to cover such expenses as rent, mortgages, taxes and utilities. But bartering is an especially useful tool for independent restaurants that, unlike some chains, lack access to corporate credit lines or cash. Many restaurants are using barter exchanges that track and manage the transactions, which count as taxable income and must be ... read more

26 Jul, 2009 - One Smart Cookie
Marietta Daily Journal EAST COBB - When the air conditioner broke at east Cobb's Cookies by Design in May as temperatures began to soar, owner Lisa Rish couldn't afford to shell out extra money for costly repairs in this economy. So, she turned to the Kennesaw-based Barter Company as she previously had done when her oven, refrigerator, sink and grease trap needed to be fixed. The company ties a network of businesses together to barter their services with each other, which allows them to save money. "I didn't have 500 plus dollars in cash to get it fixed and still be able to pay employees, taxes, bills or rent," said Rish, who's been using the Barter Company since 2001. "It's very helpful when it's something you have to have like an air conditioner." The Barter Company's network includes a variety of professionals, from lawyers and dentists to restaurant owners and house painters. Clients use barter dollars instead of cash in transactions. Businesses charge retail ... read more

The barter system: An old business makes a comeback COLUMBIA, SC (WIS) - It may seem like a blast from the past, but an old system of getting what you want is back. Bartering is a way of exchanging things instead of cash that's growing in popularity -- again. The first kind of business was the barter system. A good stonecutter might make a few extra tools and simply trade them for furs or other things he wanted. It's so simple the cavemen did it. Today bartering is back, but it's a little more advanced. "It's one of the best things I've done for my business," says Sharon May, who owns Hennessy's restaurant in Columbia. She's been bartering for years. "You're not limited to bartering between just you and me. It's a whole group," says May. A group that's growing, as small business are having trouble keeping up their cashflows. May does her trading with The Barter Company, one of many groups that brings traders together. "It's an alternative form of currency," says Barter Company ... read more

Would Your Company Benefit From Bartering? Publish Date: Nov/Dec 2006 Region: Georgia Would Your Company Benefit From Bartering? By Leslie Johnston While the concept of bartering has been around almost since the beginning of time, many companies are just now discovering that business-to-business barter exchange can increase profits, conserve cash and maximize their prospects for new business. While the traditional concept of bartering is a direct one-on-one exchange, The Barter Company (TBC) offers what is known as round-robin trading though a business-to-business barter exchange. Members of the exchange barter what they provide or sell for other types of goods and services, with The Barter Company acting as a kind of clearinghouse. It's like a fraternity of business owners and professionals who, together, are trading their excess time or inventory for other types of business and/or personal expenses, says founder and CEO Ric Zampatti.

quote  Craig Stringer, a Barter Company client of nearly 10 years, recently had a wonderful experience that he considers to be a perfect example of how barter brings in cash business.

Two months ago, Stringer and his son went to play golf one afternoon on barter. His son Jeff was in town visiting and also planning his upcoming wedding. He and his fiance had already picked a location for their wedding which would have cost them $18,000 cash, but that all changed after spending the day at a local golf club who also is a member of The Barter Company.

'My son and I played some golf and then stopped for lunch. We were pleasantly surprised by the quality of this golf club and wondered to ourselves if they accommodate weddings,' said Stringer. 'We immediately spoke to a event/wedding planner who had 30 plus years of experience and were very excited to hear about what they could offer us for that special day. What was especially nice about this location was how the planner adds a more personal and intimate touch to her weddings, unlike the corporate setting that the original location gave.'

The deciding factor for the groom-to-be was how they were willing to plan and execute the entire wedding for only $6000 cash! This is quite the win-win situation for all parties involved; Jeff and his fiance get the wedding of their dreams for a third of the price and the golf club made a great cash sale!

Jeff and his fiance Marcia will tie the knot on September 4th of this year. They also plan to have their rehearsal dinner at Sugo Restaurant on barter. Some additional services offered through The Barter Company while planning your big day include invitation printing, tux rentals, limousine rentals, florists, photographers, jewelers, caterers, DJs and honeymoon travel read more  quote

quote  I have been using (my trading power) with The Barter Company for over 9 years and have made them an integral part of my business and personal life.
The Barter Company has always made themselves easily accessible by a simple phone call whenever I have needed anything.
My photography business has grown over the past years by simply exchanging my services for that of another fellow business person whether in Georgia or another state.
Many times over these business people (in the Barter Co.) have ended up sending me cash customers because of their positive experience with me.
Tammy, my broker has been especially helpful to me in finding the right help in a short amount of time thus allowing me to move on to the next need(s) of my own business.
I believe the Barter Company is important to the life of my business and by using other business services and goods I can put my money into other areas.
I would highly recommend using this company to help bring your bottom dollar up! Personally, I have enjoyed using them for a special get-away in the mountains and wonderful evenings out on the town.
Thank you again, Barter read more  quote
