Barter Business Booming
Research compiled by the North American Barter Association (NABA) shows that a record amount of almost $36 billion was generated through commercial barter in North America last year.
Last month at a gathering of NABA members in Chicago, Research Director Shirley McBride reported these key observations about the growth of the commercial barter industry:
* One in every 6 businesses conducted at least one barter transaction for the first time in 2006.
* Almost 75% of all Fortune 500 companies used barter, an increase of 14% over 2005.
* The number of new corporations implementing barter transactions in excess of $100,000 stood at 1,845.
* Almost 40% of all small business owners – those with less than 25 employees -- experimented with barter and had positive results.
* The average dollar amount of a commercial barter transaction in 2006 increased to $1,927.
* Merchants using barter saved an average of $327,000 and realized an average cash flow of increase of 18%.
