Equitrade International Adds Three Barter Exchanges

In its latest round of strategic acquisitions, Equitrade International has added three barter exchanges to its growing national brand.  Completed in the last month were acquisitions of The Barter Corp. of Allentown (PA), Pittsburgh Trade Alliance in Pittsburgh (PA) and Uber Trade in Atlanta (GA).
 
"These three latest acquisitions give us a firm presence in the north with over 700 new members in Pennsylvania, also adding over 500 new members to our base in Atlanta," said Equitrade CEO Jim West.
 
Equitrade International is a growing commercial barter clearinghouse, which arranges cashless transactions for its members who have idle capacity in their businesses. Its aggressive approach to growth promises to propel it to be one of the nation's largest such marketplaces. Headquartered in Atlanta, Equitrade also has a presence in Tennessee and Kentucky with plans to expand to other markets this year.
 
Equitrade's unique approach to barter provides a liquid marketplace for the sale of excess inventory and spare capacity for businesses of all types. Equitrade has also pioneered the concept of a barter bank account for consumers who have idle assets to sell. Its national online network of members provides a seamless marketplace for barter transactions between businesses and individuals alike, including media, travel and real estate.

Prominent Promotional Approaches

To reach your customers effectively, you should become familiar with the distinct and various approaches of marketing, advertising, and public relations.
 
Marketing encompasses a range of tactics, such as handing out small gifts bearing your logo, maintaining a presence at trade shows or on the Internet, and providing superior customer service and product support.
 
Advertising, on the other hand, is simply the process of buying time or space in the print media or on the Internet, television, or radio. It lets you say whatever you wish about your product or service.
 
Public relation's differs from advertising in that you can't always control how or when information about your company will be presented to the public.
 
But when your product is mentioned in the news media, it is usually perceived as a third-party endorsement — provided the context of the story is positive or at least neutral.
 
To determine the best form of promotion for your company, you need to define your budget and goals.
