Services: How Our Barter System Works
Local Businesses Support Each Other
80% of the economy is dominated by multinational corporations, and another 10% by large national chains. Locally-businesses aren’t so much competing with each other, but rather for a larger percentage of the overall market.
A local barter network like Rocky Mountain Barter:
Most people think of barter as trading one good for another. For example, “I will paint your house if you will build me a website.” This approach has obvious problems–if I am a painter, how would I ever find someone who needs their house painted and who happens to be a website builder?
Rocky Mountain Barter makes this more practical through the use of a “Barter Currency”.
Members of the exchange buy and sell from each other using Barter Currency without using cash. The Barter dollars are deposited online in a barter account. In this way, RMB generates new sales through its barter network for their members and in turn those members can use their new found barter dollars to make purchases that can help expand their company and/or offset current cash expenses, freeing up precious cash-flow.
