I met with the owners at a new Indian restaurant in town yesterday. They were both a pleasure to meet. Some of the things they were looking to purchase on barter included general renovations, window lettering and carpet cleaning. I'll be following up with them next week and let's hope they give eXmerce a try!
Today, we were excited to meet with Derryl who'll be helping us re-vamp the eXmerce brand. We have a new direction for 2011 and have lots of exciting things planned to create value for members of the eXmerce community. Stay tuned!

About a month ago or so, I received a call from Adam Jacob, President of www.barteryourway.com who runs a business barter exchange in Louisville, Kentucky. I really liked his enthusiasm and his passion for barter and his company. We briefly chatted about the challenges and opportunities we saw in the barter industry, and we both felt that technology (i.e. social media) will certainly be a driving force in shaping the barter industry.
I'd like to personally thank Adam for the recent press release that went out. You can check it out here: http://www.free-press-release.com/news-boost-your-business-barter-1270584436.html.

It's been awhile since I last blogged so I'll try my best moving forward to keep you guys posted with what's going on at eXmerce.
The big thing that's happening right now is we're promoting the eXmerce Business Makeover Contest. This is an opportunity for a deserving business to win nearly $27k in sponsored business products and services. If you have been in business for less than 3 years and generate no more than $500,000 in gross revenues, this is a contest you should consider entering! For more contest details, please go to www.exmerce.wordpress.com.
Later today, I will be meeting with a yoga instruction company as we've experienced quite a bit of demand from members requesting yoga services. Let's hope they sign up! I also got confirmation today that we now have a new accounting company on board.

Earn a monthly cash commission each month by referring your business colleagues to eXmerce!
I am excited to introduce the eXmerce Partner Network Program. It's a new referral rewards program for members of eXmerce and non-members. How it works is - any business you refer to eXmerce, and if they join the referred businesses will become your own pool of clients. When your clients trade, you'll earn a monthly cash commission off of their trade activity each month. The cash commission payout is based on how many businesses you refer to eXmerce. (1-3 members = 10%, 4-9 members = 15%, 10+ members = 20%). This is an opportunity for you to earn a monthly passive income each month. You simply have to talk to your colleagues about eXmerce and pass on their information to us if they're interested in finding out more - we'll take care of the rest!
We're off to a great start with the program and I'd like to give thanks to some of our members who have already passed on some leads to us:
Thank you Spirit Fitness, Ageless Skin Technologies, Chutes 'n' Ladders Roofing, Affordable Painting, and Fresh Ink.

How can small business access credit?
Credit is tight - at least, that's what the headlines tell us. What can small business owners do to effectively make their case to the banks? What are alternative sources of financing they can pursue?
Think barter! eXmerce is a Calgary-based business barter exchange. Through eXmerce, we can grant your business a line of credit in trade dollars. All you have to do is simply trade us in kind your product or service to obtain the line of credit. If you're wondering what are trade dollars - Trade dollars is a type of currency we use within the eXmerce exchange. Whatever you as a business would normally retail products or services in the cash world, that is what you would retail in the barter world or through eXmerce. For instance, if you sold a dozen rozes in the cash marketplace for $25 cash - through the eXmerce community, you would simply sell the same dozen rozes for $25 trade dollars. The trade dollars accumulated can then be used to purchase products and services from any one of the members that's part of eXmerce. The advantage to you when bartering is when you purchase products and services through eXmerce, you're actually purchasing items at your own cost!
If you're feeling the pinch and have been unsuccessful in getting approved for a line of credit, please contact eXmerce at 403-215-9220 and we can help!
