Australia�s Barter Deal With Oprah Promises Big Pay Off

A dream destination, as Oprah Winfrey describes a trip to Australia for her opening day audience of 300 (as she kicked off her 25^th and final season on TV), will be a tremendous boom for Australia�s tourism industry which presently gets 2.5 million visitors annually.

The government met with Winfrey�s people in planning this joint endeavor, and they will be providing approximately $3 million in accommodation costs � providing transportation, lodging, meals, tours, etc. � most of it will come in the form of �in-kind� payments. In exchange Australia will gain publicity around the world through TV coverage in 145 countries, articles in the world press, and immense coverage on the Internet.

It�s a very astute business move and a real coup for Australia, as such a major international opportunity is quite unique.

Marketing Expo Sponsorship Provides Excellent Opportunity For American Trade Exchanges

An astounding 40% of business owners in the U.S. have reported that the economy is preventing them from spending any money on marketing and sales, according to a survey released by American Express OPEN which is the company�s small business division.

That�s why we found an upcoming marketing expo (www.TheMarketingExpo.com) in Carlsbad (CA) so interesting. In addition to exhibitors, six speakers have teamed up so as to conduct various workshops. The typical small business owner�s time constraints are well documented. Having a variety of marketing expertise and possibilities (products & services) in one location for quick, easy shopping makes perfect sense.

A trade exchange bringing all of its clients (who offer marketing services) together once a quarter for a one-day expo would be a fantastic service for the exchange�s membership. It would also be a valuable attraction for outside businesses, i.e. potential new members.

Marketing products and services on exhibit could include:

• Advertising agencies

• Marketing and sales consultants

•  Ad-product specialty companies

•  Mailing-list companies

• Direct mail services

• Web site designers

• SEO (search engine optimization) companies

• Copy writers

• Graphic designers

• Sign shops

• Printing companies

• Publishing companies

• Radio stations

• TV stations

• Billboard companies

• Writers

• Newspapers

•  Magazines

• Chambers of commerce

• Marketing associations

• Business coaching services

• Photographers and others
