In this cash-strapped economy businesses and entertainers are turning to a buying/selling system that is older than currency itself: Bartering.
Bartering is simply the exchanges of goods or services for like goods or services. No cash or credit involved. According to Barter News, barter activity through the 450 organized trade exchanges in the U.S. is growing at 12 to 15% per year. This translates into millions of entrepreneurial business owners, multinational corporations, and even governments participating in bartering for goods and services such as media advertising, travel and entertainment, office products and equipment, printing and Web site development, remodeling and construction, health care services and more -- without a single dollar being exchanged.
Bartering can help businesses improve cash flow, prevent debt, free up excess inventory (by moving goods in exchange for something you need in your business), and even help boost your advertising/public relations efforts.
Since 1999 when our company was established, we have been a big fan of bartering. We are a witness to how fast a company or individual can grow there brand by simply providing the services they specialize in. The services and products that we have to exchange is: Advertising on our websites and social networks, Exhibitor space at our expos and conventions, Sponsorships Packages for our events, Marketing Services, Design Services and concierge services for the day of our Expos and Conventions.
Generally, we only barter with vendors and venues that will aid in the production and marketing of our events. We are currently accepting barter agreements for all upcoming events.
