Mr. Wang Lei,
the CEO of BBX China, an international franchise of ASX-listed BBX
Holdings, recently visited Sydney with senior managers of his team
for training and mapping out their future strategy of continued
expansion.
BBX China was
formed in September 2006, when the China Federation of Logistics and
Purchasing Barter Trade Committee entered into a master franchise
agreement with BBX International�a wholly owned subsidiary of BBX
Holdings Ltd., which will have 20% equity in BBX China.
Lei said that
the visit to Australia has been a vital step in BBX China�s ongoing
development. �Our visit to Sydney has helped us to better understand
the BBX operating system and commercial model, which we are now
focusing on modifying and developing according to Chinese conditions
and the requirements of our markets,� he explained.
�We�re in the
process of organising a training program, to help businesses in
China better understand (our) commercial model and learn about the
benefits of transferring to BBX,� Wang said.
China is BBX
Holdings� third international operation. Franchises are already
established in New Zealand and India, while others are currently
being negotiated with some in the advanced stages, affirmed BBX
Managing Director Michael Touma.
BBX has offices
and/or franchises situated throughout Australia, and operates in
both islands of New Zealand. Member businesses in these two
countries traded in excess of $146 million in the financial year
ending June 30, 2006, averaging over $33,000 per active member
business.

Online Classifieds Show Potential
While the $100
billion global classified-advertising market is still largely the
pursuit of newspapers (on the mainstream media side), thanks to
their online outlets TV, cable and radio stations are making inroads
into print publications once secure monopoly.
A study by
ClassifiedIntelligence.com found that TV station web sites in
all top 50 U.S. markets offer classifieds, as do radio sites in 47
of the top 50 markets.
For TV station
classified sites, real estate is the strongest category in the top
10 markets. However, when you look at the TV markets that are below
the top 10, real estate is relatively even with both automotive and
job classifications.
In the case of
radio stations, the top 10 markets have tended to ignore the use of
online classified ads. Penetration is more perceptible when it comes
to markets ranked 11 to 50, especially for autos and jobs.

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. |
