Final results for 2011

Alan Mink — Mon, 02 Jan 2012 10:00:42 +0000

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.

Strong growth continues

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.

Our latest convention for all exchanges using The Trade Alliance barter software was held in Phoenix, AZ this year and was a huge success. Unlike any other barter convention The Trade Alliance pays for the hotel, breakfast, lunch and dinner for all participants and transportation to the various evening functions. Members of The Trade Alliance family came from as far away as Australia to attend. Several guest speakers featured were Dawn Lake of The Lake Group and L. Jay Morton, both motivational speakers whose topics included taking charge of your life, communication and being successful.

Making the right choice

The Trade Alliance barter software is the leader in supplying software to the barter industry. Proven by the fact that over 50 exchanges choose The Trade Alliance barter software last year and 5 more exchange for example just in the last 3 weeks, a record not duplicated by others. You get to be the best by actions and results, not by self proclamation as some others do. No other software has more features, more users or more experience. Having been in the barter industry for over 25 years we have the experience and know how to do it right. www.barter-software.net

Best Barter Software?

Alan Mink — Tue, 28 Jun 2011 09:58:33 +0000

We think you should make the decision who is best after looking at all your options. One says they are the best yet have less than 5 exchanges in the US after several years in business. Guess most exchanges do not agree. Another says they are the emerging leader yet after 2 years in business they are still one of the smallest suppliers of software. Guess not too many exchanges agree with that either. Still another claims to be the ultimate barter management software, this after failing at least twice before as a barter software supplier?

Need we go on? Check out any or all of the barter softwares available but do not make your decision without at least comparing to The Trade Alliance barter software, chosen by over 50 exchanges in just the last year. www.barter-software.net

Enhanced Regional settings implemented

Alan Mink — Fri, 27 May 2011 06:11:11 +0000

Regions, a newly implemented program is received by all exchanges with great enthusiasm. Exchanges as well as The Trade Alliance can create a region that will include any member of any exchange that fits the criteria for that region. Example – A region created is Central Florida. It contains members from several different exchanges that are in that “Region”. The manager of an exchange in that region determines what members he wants in that region, excluding local only designated members or they can include them. A member of those exchanges can now view member goods and services available by all members of all exchanges in The Trade Alliance, only the members that are within their exchange, or any member that is in their “Region”
