NexTrade360, claiming to be the least expensive barter software. It is of course not true, just as others have claimed to be as inexpensive or less than us. They charge a $500.00 set up fee, we charge $0 set up fee. Their minimum monthly fee is $150.00, ours is $25.00.  Assisted Data Migration fee, they charge $500.00 to $1500.00, we charge $0. They also charge several other monthly fees such as Data protection, $25.00 per month, Regional sites $100.00 each per month, and SSL Cert. hosting another $25.00 per month, all of which we do for $0 fee. Our total monthly fee maximum is $500.00 per month. Theirs is $550.00 to as much as $950.00 if the customer has 5 regional sites and initial set up asst. costs of $1140.00- $2140.00 vs. our $0 cost. They also in their graph refer to Competitor A,B,C,D, none of which are The Trade Alliance, which they conveniently left off their chart. It is easy to claim to be the best, least expensive, most user friendly or the “new Leader” but after comparing any other barter software to The Trade Alliance, www.barter-software.net you will realize all others claims are not true.

The first quarter of 2012 continues the terrific results we have seen over the last year. Sales volume for the total network of independent exchanges in The  Trade Alliance network increased almost $1,000,000.00 2012 vs. 2011. Members within the network increased by 508 in the first quarter, adding to the total membership in the network that is already the largest network of independent barter exchanges in North America. The first quarter also welcomed in 10 new or existing exchanges that have chosen The Trade Alliance as their software provider.

In the last 3 years going back to Jan. 2009 total sales just between the exchanges in The Trade Alliance network totaled $22,053,597, sales that would not be generated without the ability of our family of exchanges to freely trade amoung themselves. Over $22 million dollars added to the sales that each exchange does within their own exchanges. One of the prime reasons exchanges align themselves with a proven software that boasts the largest network of exchanges in the US.

Final results for 2011 show total network sales up 34.5% vs 2010 for all exchanges that were operating in 2010.  Adding sales for new exchanges that were added to The Trade Alliance family of software users total sales were up more than 50%.  As the economy continues to suffer in 2012 we expect to see continued big growth in sales, large growth in the amount of members that join our exchanges and more and more barter companies either starting up with The Trade Alliance, the world leader in barter software with a huge network of members that trade freely throughout the network, and other barter companies moving to The Trade Alliance in order to be able to enhance their growth by being part of The Trade Alliance network.

With several days yet to go the December sales within the network continue to show impressive growth with total network sales up well over $1 million Dec. 2011 vs. Dec. 2010.  Exchanges over 1 year old continue to show large gains in membership and sales as they help businesses use barter as a way to offset the lack of  business growth in this still overall dismal economy. The Trade Alliance in 2011 added many new exchanges to The Trade Alliance family  in many markets within CA., NJ, NY, AR., WA., TX., Fl., and MO., joining exsiting  exchanges already within states and other markets.
