In the first 2 months of 2010 the total barter sales in The Trade Alliance network were up 67.3% from the previous year. These sales are for exchanges that were open for 1 year or more and do not include sales of new exchanges opened less than 1 year, showing again the strength of the barter industry in these terrible economic times. A good part too of the sales increase is due to the strength of the many exchanges within The Trade Alliance network that allow trading between members of one exchange with members of another exchange, greatly increasing goods and services available to all.
