Recently saw one of the barter software suppliers claiming to be the new leader! Not only a false claim but based on what criteria? Hope, wishful thinking? Claiming to be the leader when at best they are 4th or 5th in the number of exchanges using their software (out of 6 we even consider to be remotely relevant). Less than 2 years in business they do maybe 10% the monthy volume that The Trade Alliance does, have far fewer exchanges using their software, have far fewer total members in the network. What do they lead in? Hopefully anyone that is looking at barter software does their due diligence and learrns about anyone they intend to do business with. How big is the organization? How many exchanges use the software to run their business? (Do not confuse that with claims that they have x amount of exchanges in their network) We do not allow just any barter company to access our network as the others do. If you do not use The Trade Banc software then you do not have access to the offers and members. We support our software users by not allowing just any barter company to buy all the “goodies” leaving the network with the leftovers. Do you know that several of the software suppliers to the barter industry also run their own exchanges too?  Do you think it is a conflict of interest to supply software to someone and be a competitor too?

The Trade Alliance, the true leader in supplying barter software to the barter industry with 7 exchanges choosing The Trade Alliance software to run their exchange in just the last 7 weeks.

During the first week in Feb several more exchanges joined the family of independent trade exchanges using  The Trade Alliance barter software. These new exchanges service, Jacksonville, Fl, southern GA., and Eastern Long Island, New York.

The final statistics for 2010 for The Trade Alliance network are truly great! Comparing 2009 to 2010:

2010 saw an increase of 7976 members in the network.

Total sales in the network increased by $23,334,415.67

In 2010 The Trade Alliance processed 667,584 transactions.

Under a new revenue sharing plan all barter exchanges using The Trade Alliance barter software will be able to earn substantial revenue under the new revenue sharing plan put in place to begin January 1, 2011. Complete details of this exciting new program will be given to all our software users the first week of January.

With a few days left in the month of November network sales are already almost $4,000,000 ahead of 2009. It appears most exchanges are going to finish the year on a strong sales note. With the addition of Value Card Alliance, That’s Tradeable, Barter 50, Barter Benefits and Cedar Rapids Barter in the last few weeks the network is also showing strong growth in new software users, expanding the trading abilities for everyone.

This week saw 2 new exchanges join the family of over 100 barter companies using The Trade Banc online barter software. The newest members of our family are located in Amarillo, Texas and Cedar Rapids, Iowa.

Next week will see the launch of our new, updated website.

The new custom website for The Trade Banc will debut very soon. Others in The Trade Banc barter network are also changing to a custom site as The Trade Banc offers the ability for any barter exchange to have a truly custom site of their own using The Trade Banc barter software.

The Trade Banc network is healty and strong, showing a gain of 906 members within the total of all exchanges using The Trade Banc software and an additional 481 new members in August. Sales of all exchanges in the same 2 month period increased 23% over 2009. Over the next few weeks new software enhancements will be added as we strive to maintain our leadership role in the barter industry.

In the last week 4 more exchanges join The Trade Banc as software users, expanding the number of cities and offers available to the entire network. We welcome exchanges in Orlando, Daytona, Macon and Las Vegas.
