Central Barter Bank

 Volume 5         Number 4       April 1, 2005

 Message from Central Barter:

      I am sorry to say that Chuck Archer will be leaving the Central Barter family to start his own trade exchange.  We will miss Chuck, and wish him the best of luck.  We will deal with Chuck on a reciprocal basis, as we would any other barter company.  However Chuck has no authority to make any deals, collect any monies, or in any way represent or speak for Central Barter, and any sales or purchases must be approved by Jay.

          However Renee Wilhite has come to us as a trade director/sales consultant.  She has already talked to many of you, and will be talking too more very soon.  I have already had many good comments about Renee, and we are glad to welcome her aboard.

          Renee and Red Seifert will be working on any new referrals we get in the month of April.  For the month of April only we will increase the referral fee from 100 trade dollars to $300 trade dollars as we head toward 250 members. 

          The statements were printed on 3/29/05 this month rather than on 3/31/05 due to the new accounting software being uploaded this week.  Look for the new look on your statement beginning next month.

AVAILABLE ON TRADE:

       In San Antonio we have Fiesta Texas, and are expecting Schlitterbahn in about 2 weeks.  If you can use any of either let me know as soon as possible.  When they are gone I don’t anticipate getting anymore this year.

We are planning on having AstroWorld in April.  I don’t know how many we will get so let me know how many you could use and I will get you as many as possible.

We also have several new clients, which include:  eye care, tax services, a cardiologist, a towing service, magazine advertising, and credit card machines.  For more information on these as well as other members, contact you broker, or leave a message at the office and someone will call you with the information you need.

DID YOU KNOW?

            The Department of Commerce says that barter in its various forms accounts for about 30% of the worlds total business. 

          The International Reciprocal Trade Association recently announced that United States barter transacted through commercial barter brokers now exceeds $8 billion annually.  Over 250,000 United States businesses actively use organized barter.

     Remember:  Always identify yourself as a Central Barter member before placing any order regardless of wheather it is in person, or over the phone.

As always if you have any ideas or suggestions, please let us know.
