    Has anyone used bartering to advertise or gain resources to develop a start-up? If so what were some of the benefits? http://smartbareter.blogspot.com/

    Hillis-
    You might want to talk to my co-mod,Kathy. She was heavily involved in the bartering industry some years ago.

    See her previous jobs in her profile for more context; https://www.xing.com/profile/Kathleen_Smart

    There's also a bartering community on Xing that she helps moderate as well. Though, heavily German speaking-centric. Not much going on the English boards; https://www.xing.com/net/barter

    Hi Hillis,

    I have been involved in organized barter since 1980. If treated properly and fairly it is the greatest tool to expand current resources and build business. Yes I have seen and assisted numerous business owners in the past years with developing correct barter strategies. I am passionate about treating it correctly and with honor and integrity. There are many organized barter groups around the world and depending on the needs and strategy of the individual business they should choose which group very carefully.

    If I can answer any questions or assist you in anyway please feel free to call on me.
