Itex is an organization made up which consists of small to medium-sized businesses. We have offices throughout the United States and are expanding into other countries. Itex is a great way to work with other business owners in both your own community and in other cities. Each office has a broker who networks with other brokers all over the country.
You may attend local networking events, but bartering with a small business owner in another city brings you to an entirely new level of networking. When you barter, you are able to procure products from another business without having to come up with cash. As you get to understand how we work and become more comfortable with barter, you will also be pleased, I hope, with all the new people you meet.
From the Itex Blog, here are some things we would like to share with you about Itex Barter and who we are.
“Here are some facts:
- 74% of ITEX members are service-related companies.
- We have national companies, but the average member has 5 or less employees.
- Our transactions range from $1 to $100,000, the average transaction is near $300.
- The average member stays with ITEX for 6 years. Our oldest active member signed up in 1980!
- There are over 45,000 transactions posted every 4 weeks
- Over 55% of our members do a transaction every 4 weeks
- The greatest numbers of transactions occur in the categories of advertising, business products, restaurants, health care, and vehicle services.
- 90% of ITEX members use ITEX dollars personally.”
Most small and medium-sized businesses already use barter. Why not join Itex and use barter from all over the States? It’s a small fee to become a member, and there is a monthly maintenance fee, but you get access to companies you wouldn’t otherwise know about.
Give me a call, and let’s talk.
