A
Unique Opportunity for BarterItOnline will play a lead role in enlarging on the existing technique of auctioning Internet media, but do so by enabling buyers purchase such media through non-cash transactions.
Traditional,
off-line barter exchanges have not enabled business
owners and entrepreneurs to trade nationally or globally. Instead, due
to practical restrictions, participation has been largely limited to
local business owners and
professionals. BarterItOnline changes forever that approach, by
welcoming a vast new group of
businesses with the need to strengthen their enterprises with the most
basic and effective form of B2B--bartering.
Off-line barter exchanges have flourished by offering transaction centers
in which sellers can move excess inventory, maximize sales, receive
full value for merchandise that might have reduced appeal and value in
the cash-only marketplace, and leverage buying power by using existing
inventories to finance other business or purchases.
Bartering also works particularly well for "soft" products whose value is
time-dependent, such as hotels and airlines, which is why, for
example, the National Association of Trade Exchanges estimates that
hotel and motel room nights alone accounted for some $730 million of annual
barter. For the seller, the attractiveness of selling the
rooms or air flights through a barter exchange is that the value of the room night or the flight is normally
not discounted; that is, the seller realizes the full sale value of
the commodity and is able to take the profits from the sale and
purchase other goods and services on which he or she may have formerly
been spending cash.
