eXmerce Exhibits at the Calgary Chamber of Commerce's Small Business Week

This evening we exhibited at the Calgary Chamber of Commerce's Business After Hours Tradeshow. It was a great opportunity for our team to educate small business owners about the benefits of bartering and how it can be used as a cost-savings and marketing tool to grow one's business.

We were happy to see some of our members in attendance - Sunny, Romaicia, and Brandon with Seen My Ad and Mahmud with Integrity Force. It was also nice running into Ryan Townend, CEO of William Joseph who was recently awarded by the Calgary Chamber of Commerce with the Rogers Innovation award. Congrats Ryan and his team at WJ.

Overall, it was great event! We thank the many people who dropped by our booth and we look forward to exhibiting at a future Chamber event.

Five Star Events Makes Quality Contacts

Five Star Events has been a member of Exmerce Barter Inc. for 3 years. In that time, I have had the pleasure to work with Nelson on several Exmerce events, and other members on their weddings and special events.

I have also benefited from being a member, as I have a great way to swap my barter dollars for actual cash – it's a "win/win" situation for my business for sure!

I have made some quality contacts, and have had the opportunity to utilize other member's services that I wouldn't have otherwise been able to purchase, if I was paying cash. I get my web and graphic design on barter, letterhead and business cards on barter, and I have recently undergone a marketing campaign through Cold Calling Co.

I thank Laurie Climan of Laurie Climan Studios and The Chocolate Fountain for introducing me to Nelson and the Exmerce team!
