ITEX
Expands Privileges Program, Partners With Expedia For Low Price
Travel
ITEX
Corporation (OTCBB:ITEX), has announced the addition of Expedia
online travel to its Executive Privileges Program (EPP). This
program is designed to enhance the value proposition for existing
and potential new members of the ITEX network by providing a travel
benefit enhancing the profitability of its members.
ITEX members
can utilize the private-label travel site,
www.itex.com/travel, or the home page
www.itex.com
in the Executive Privileges section where they will obtain a “best
price guarantee.”
ITEX
Supplemental Travel is designed for situations when ITEX member
businesses cannot acquire travel on trade...enabling them to get a
low cash price alternative. It will enable its members to:
·
Have access to the
lowest price travel options on the Internet.
·
Attain tens of
thousands of travel opportunities available through
Expedia.com,
hotels.com,
hotwire.com,
and Classic Vacations.
·
Receive an
introductory online coupon for up to $100 towards their hotel stay.
“Partnering
with the leading travel engine, Expedia, assists our member base to
know (that) they are receiving the best value for their money,”
declared ITEX CEO Steven White. “Our members save time by reserving
travel through the ITEX cashless marketplace, and when we are unable
to provide the final travel arrangements ITEX Travel takes over. A
win, win, win for all.”
In areas where
ITEX is not able to offer airfare, hotel accommodations, car rentals
or cruises payable through its cashless marketplace, the
Supplemental Travel service makes itex.com the one stop shop for its
business customer to book travel...at the best rates available.

BarterXchange Appoints Ian Jones CEO
Dr. Lee Oi Kum, Executive Chairman of BarterXchange Ltd., has
announced the appointment of Ian Jones as Chief Executive Officer.
Jones, formerly Managing Director of Bartercard in the UK, USA and
New Zealand, was a driving force behind the company’s phenomenal
success. A veteran in the commercial barter industry, he has been
involved in barter globally for 13 years.
In his new role, Jones will focus on growing BarterXchange into a
global brand spanning across Asia and the United States.
“We will expand into Malaysia in May or June this year. It is a
resource rich economy with a very wide range of industries which
will benefit from embracing barter as a business tool,” Jones
explained.
“BarterXchange, widely acknowledged as one of Asia’s fastest
growing trade exchanges, is poised for further expansion into other
parts of Asia. And as we expand across the region, we will bring on
board foreign talent...especially experienced trade brokers and
sales managers,” he added. “This is in line with our human resource
strategy of attracting the best talents to help us move forward and
grow into a global organization.”

USA’s
$30 Billion Direct Selling Industry
Some 14.1
million Americans, most of them women, are involved in the direct
selling of products like cosmetics and cookware. Well known
companies in the $30 billion industry like Avon, Tupperware, Amway,
and many others offer a way to earn a bit of extra money. But how
much do the independent consultants (distributors) earn?
The Direct
Selling Association, an industry trade group, says the average is
$13,000 or $14,000 a year. (Though that number may be skewed by some
hard-driving consultants who make a full-time career of direct
selling.)
Consultants
earn a commission on their sales, and, in many cases, a percentage
of the sales of any distributor they recruit to the business, in
what’s known as multi-level marketing.
According to a
spokesperson for the trade group, the median income, the point at
which half of the work force falls above and half below, is more
like $2,400 a year, or $200 a month. Only 13% of the consultants
devote more than 30 hours a week to their business.
The Federal
Trade Commission is considering a rule that would require
direct-marketing firms to give new recruits a week to think over
whether they want to sign on. It would also require greater
disclosure about typical earnings, including how many people are not
able to earn back start-up costs...which typically run from $100 to
$500.

Hotel
General Managers
Here’s
The Easiest $100,000 You’ll Ever
Bring To The Bottomline!
Collect
cash, as usual, from the guest accounts staying at your
facility that require the use of professional AV services.
And rather than shouldering your ongoing employee costs, or
your current vendor’s cash agreement for AV services,
here’s a much better alternative:
Work
with a proven national vendor (a sterling 25-year track
record) who will provide all of the AV services for your
hotel on a 100% TRADE BASIS! (Payment to be in the form of
hotel rooms and/or trade dollars.)
Your hotel’s annual AV billings must be a minimum of $200,000, and this
offer is available only in the continental United States.
For a
confidential introduction contact Bob Meyer via e-mail:
bmeyer@barternews.com.
(Please type in AV Services On Trade in the subject
line of your e-mail.)
Attention Trade Exchange Owners:
If your
member hotel(s) have a minimum of 10,000 sq. feet of meeting
space and annual billings of at least $200,000 for AV
services this is a great opportunity to earn substantial
cash service fees on the hundreds of thousands of trade
dollars your hotel member will be paying the vendor. Contact
Bob Meyer at the above e-mail. |
