IMS
Acquires Barter Partners & Kansas Trade Exchange
International
Monetary Systems reported it has purchased the client base of Barter
Partners, a trade exchange serving members in St. Joseph and Benton
Harbor (MI) as well as South Bend (IN), capably run by Jim Cassidy.
IMS management
believes that its new Barter Partners clients from the
Michigan market will derive much benefit from, and will relate well
to, the company�s largest client base in Chicago. These new IMS
members will now have thousands of trading partners that they have
not had before.
Acquisition of
the assets and client base of Kansas Trade Exchange, located
in Wichita (KS), will become effective on September 30, 2007. KTE
has been serving clients in south-central Kansas for more than
twelve years with a solid reputation for quality service to its
members...providing them with a wide variety of desirable products
and services.
Don Mardak, CEO
of International Monetary Systems, commented, �Hayes and Brenda
Crenshaw have created one of America's top-quality trade exchanges
with a loyal base of clients. We believe that this acquisition will
strengthen our product offerings and be accretive to our revenue and
profitability."
Additional International Monetary
Systems Debt Converted To Equity
International Monetary Systems revealed that
two private investors who were holding $300,000 in convertible notes
have completed the conversion of their positions to equity. This
brings the total of such notes converted since March of 2007 to $1
million.
Don Mardak, IMS President and CEO, stated:
�Once again, these investors have demonstrated their faith in the
future of International Monetary Systems by converting their
interest-bearing notes to IMS shares. Without their original
investments, we could not have achieved the remarkable revenue
growth that we have shown throughout 2007, and their wisdom and
counsel have been most insightful.�
Wine
Lovers Can Meet Locally Now
Appealing to
both beginning wine drinkers and connoisseurs alike, LocalWino.com
provides a well-organized online platform for local wine lovers of
all levels to discuss, research and discover the world of wine in
the non-threatening free sharing environment of a community forum.
The
distinguishing feature of the site as opposed to other online wine
forums is the local organization of the forum by cities within
specified states. This allows users to share, find, and discuss
details about wine within their own community. In addition to the
discussion forum, the site serves as a wine information portal for
various links and resources to the overall wine industry.
Founder and
owner, James Matuszewski, explained, �After being a part of various
online wine forums, I saw a great need for a more organized format
for the type of discussions that were going on.� He feels as though
his site is catching the trend of online local community building.
�Look at what
CraigsList has done for people wanting to sell or barter (i.e. eBay)
without having to pay to ship all over the country�local wine
communities are very tight and always looking for ways to get
together and share their wine experiences or discoveries.�
In addition to
being set up by state and city, the discussion forums are very
smartly organized by subject as well. Self-proclaimed �winos� can
discuss general information about wine, wine shops & resources,
restaurant wine lists, wine clubs, wine travel or more wine & food
specific tasting subjects.
There is even a
social aspect of the forum where singles or couples can find each
other to get together for glass or two at the local wine hot spot.
�I wanted to
create as thorough and friendly a discussion forum as possible
without making it too overwhelming to its members,� stated
Matuszewski. �It really poses the opportunity for people to get more
personal with their love of wine and the possibility of local
contact. It�s exciting, and no one else is doing this.�
The site and
the forum are completely free of charge to its visitors or members.
As users log-in or register, they choose their region (state) and
then are given a prompt to choose their individual locale. Members
can also easily view or post to any of the forums designated by city
and find information about other locations as well.
LocalWino does
not currently sell wine directly on its site, but is affiliated with
various wines sales and other commerce sites. The site plans to
introduce wine commerce later in 2007.

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. |
