Health of the Economy not Effecting Merchants Barter Exchange

Obama and his Administration have their plate full treating an ailing economy and attempting to improve socialized medicine. At least one American company is using an “old wives” trick to help the common business owner get better.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

PRLog (Press Release)Aug 13, 2009 – While the Obama Administration seems caught in a war of words with unhappy Townhall Meeting members, there is good news for the nation. Some savvy American businesses are going back to the ‘old school’ methods of surving the storm: barter. One such pioneer, Merchants Barter Exchange (MBE), continues to expand at an alarming rate around North America.

Barter, like gold, is an age-old safe haven for troubled times, and organized barter companies like MBE make bartering easier by acting as the middle man between transactions, removing the previous challenges of needing somebody to want what you’re offering.

“The worsening economy has been a blessing to our company,” states Steve Bolles, founder and President of MBE. “We’ve seen incredible growth since our launch in 2000, but the past 12 months have shown a stagging increase in media attention and interest in helping us build our barter economy.”

Bolles must be doing something right, as many of the older barter organizations out there have retracted in size rather than grown. Industry experts point to the standard life-cycle of older barter companies that are still bothered by problems of over-charging, price-gouging, inavailability, and lack of management. Bolles had the good sense to address all these problems before he launched his new exchange.

MBE is obviously having a hugely positive impact on the local American economy, as one of their newest offices in Austin, Texas is proving. But can barter do anything to help with the health challenges being discussed?

“Actually yes,” beams Bolles. “Perhaps not right this moment, but we actually have plans to roll out a barter healthcare system in the not too distant future.” With new offices scheduled to open in Dallas, San Francisco, and Florida shortly, barter – like the problems faced by Obama and his team – is certainly not going away any time soon.
