For inquiries about the barter bulletin [email protected]

A Message from the EditorBarter is not something you do, or a concept you buy into. I discovered through

interacting with our team and members that barter is, in fact, a way of thinking.

With openness, fairness and trust as the core values, Bartercard members are part of

a community where doing business sparks transformational relationships, and not just

functional transactions. It’s in the members’ hands to play a proactive role.

The first Barter Bulletin for the region is our open invitation for you to voice your

opinions, and share your experiences with the other members. So please feel free to

send me your questions, comments or suggestions.

Bartercard is your community and this is your bulletin.

My special appreciation goes for the team who made it possible.

Enjoy the Barter Boom

Dear Members,

One year ago I warned all of our clients to the imminent recession, based on the signs we observed internationally over the last few years. Unfortunately, for the media and many business owners, the message clearly fell on deaf ears. Primarily, because the media failed to recognize the signs, that we were too familiar with.

Today it’s virtually impossible to avoid the daily doses of negative news about the global and domestic economic meltdown. Banks are relentlessly pressuring and crushing small businesses. Meanwhile, success stories of ‘Barter’ are appearing everywhere as businesses use their products and services creatively to trade, profit, and grow.

Our statistics show, that many members have utilized the outstanding Bartercard solutions, to deal with what might be, the harshest economic climate we have ever experienced.

Bartercard is booming all over the UAE, increasing the size of our team, contracting new master licenses, and joining more members. This is great news for you, more members to trade with, more awareness of Bartercard, more benefits and more business.

So once again, I urge you to engage with us, help us empower you, secure your business, and conserve you hard earned cash. Start today, upgrade your business profile, so we know what purchases you can offset, and contact your trade coordinator.

Don’t wait... Do it NOW

We at Bartercard invite you to enjoy the boom...

“Cash is low now and everyone

who is determined to sustain and

grow their business must utilize

Bartercard’s services and use

them to their benefit.”

Cherry Heath PrintingMr. Firas M.S. Abdul AzizTel: 04 338 22 12www.cherryheathprinting.com

“Even though cash trans-

actions are a bit slow these days, I

have a bunch of printing jobs to finish.

Thanks to Bartercard.”

While establishing his own advertising business, Firas Abdul Aziz was fully aware of the Bartercard concept. Firas has been working for one of the members and experienced, first hand, the support and impact of Bar-tercard on that member’s growth and profitability.

Now that he is a member, his ex-pectations are on the beam.

“I used my Trade Dirhams to buy an embroidering machine. I can’t even begin to explain the value this has added to my business. My production line improved, jobs fin-ished faster, and for the first time I could take on more work, not only from my client base, but also from additional clients who are Barter-card members.”

Cherry Heath Printing have re-duced their cash expenses “Cash flow has been quite smooth for

us, because machines were pur-chased through Bartercard, and we have also used it for a variety of other expenses.”

Firas suggests conserving cash and using Trade Dirhams is essen-tial for businesses.

“Cash is low everywhere you go, and anyone determined to sustain and grow their business, must uti-lize Bartercard’s services and use them to their benefit.”

Firas is planning to spend from his Trade Dirhams on personal needs “as soon as his business requirements are met.”

Making the Bartercard eMarket &

Online Auction work for you

While Mohammed Rizk, owner of Speaking Roses, knew of the members’ Trad-ing Portal, he had never ex-plored it. Moreover, he has been receiving emails from Bartercard Australia about the hot items available on-line, but still, he didn’t give it a try.

“Finally, I got around to check it online. To my sur-prise, trading online is fun, rewarding and very easy.”

Mohammed lately received a Gold Sapphire Diamond Ring, which he won in an Online Auc-tion bid. This encouraged him to use the site even more to grab even greater deals.

“It’s an interesting trading avenue, I am able to explore many options, find opportunities with just a few clicks” expressed Mohammed.

Bartercard Traders Round Up

Trade nights on Wednes-day nights are a highlight event, for the Bartercard Emirates team, as well as our members. The most recent one being the net-working event, held at the Bartercard office in Sheik Essa Tower, welcoming new members, and introducing them to each other.

Some members brought a variety of products to sell. And so, most members went home with newly purchased items.

Members were also introduced to

the SMS POS, the innovative new way to obtain account balance and authorize trade transactions through a mobile phone.

In another event, more than 150 members were present. Ginna Bradburry, representing Wayne Sharpe, Chairman and Co-founder of Bartercard, was also present to greet and acknowledge the mem-bers.

It was during that event, that two essential tools were launched and presented to the members. The Bartercard Emir-ates National Directory Edition and the Short Message Service Point of Sale (SMSPOS)

Bartercard Feature Story

Meet Trade Allies & Hit the Big Deals

Getting to meet and in-teract, with fellow busi-ness owners, over friendly chats and delightful drinks, has been the context of his extraordinary experiences with Bartercard.

Zafar Inamdare, Chairman and Founder of IMC Direct, said that the lovely parties are what he en-joys best. Those he met at the par-ties are the ones he ended up deal-ing with. During such events Zafar maintains excellent rapport with other members as he becomes acquainted with new people.

Commended by McGrawhill last year, as one of the top performers in media industry in the world, IMC Direct stands as one of the best providers of information products to consumers, corporate and aca-demic entities in the UAE. In alli-ance with the world’s prominent journal and book publishers, it is involved in the circulation of maga-zines, journals, and electronic jour-

nals to professionals of all fields, as well as to private and public sectors in the GCC.

“I joined Bartercard be-cause I believe in its basic concept, that I don’t need to use cash to buy what I want. At the same time, the people who require servic-es we provide don’t need to use their cash as well.”

“The variety of products avail-able in the network proved sat-isfying to my needs.” Zafar pur-chased a buggy from one of the members that proved very use-ful during the winter. Most of his business related transactions are done on barter to save cash for other purposes.

“Bartercard is not a re-placement, nor an alterna-tive, but a better sub-plot, best to be considered as the 2nd line of business.”

Zafar reinforces the val-ue of Bartercard espe-cially during the cur-rent economic crisis. “Everyone is affected. Bartercard needs to become more visible, more noisy to attract more members. The market can use more awareness of the ben-efits that Bartercard can provide to all kinds of businesses.”

He encourages members to be-lieve in the prin-ciples and ca-

pacities of Bartercard. “Don’t look for short term but focus on the long term benefits that Bartercard can provide. Always log on to the Members Trading Portal because it’s really helpful.”

Zafar would like to see more members joining the barter phe-nomenon “The more, the merrier.”

Beef Up the Barter IdeaExpanding

the concept & strengthening

the bonds

In an innovative move uti-lizing the power of Barter-card, Al Wasl International Group, one of the most prominent local law firms in the country, granted bo-nuses to employees using Trade Dirhams.

This enabled them to gain ac-cess to a wide variety of products and services available within the Bartercard network, be it beauty salons, restaurants, optics clinics, gifts and much more.

Now the team, not only the com-pany, were saving cash, while en-joying what Bartercard members have to offer.

“Extending the Barter-card idea to our team al-

lowed everyone to benefit from it”

Said Mr. Jihad El-Haddad, a legal consultant of the group.

Al Wasl International Group, Ad-vocates & Legal Consultants, have offices operating in several Arab countries. They provide legal ser-vices to many industries including Information Technology, Bank-ing and Finance, Corporate and Commercial, Maritime, Intellectual Property, Criminal, Personal Sta-tus, Labor, Air cargo, Litigation, Deliberation, Transport and Civil Aviation, Arbitration, Insurance, Construction and Engineering, and Real Estate. They are also renowned for their Debt Recovery Services, they currently have more than 300 employees collecting debt on behalf of their customers.

Specialized in corporate law, Al Wasl offers a wide range of legal services including drafting all kinds of contracts, and establishing com-panies in the UAE and abroad.

Since the group joined Barter-card, a successful relationship de-veloped between the two entities. “We consider our group a strong supporter of Bartercard.”

The group also built suc-cessful relationships with Bartercard members.

“It’s actually an old con-cept, people used to barter during the ancient times, and when they didn’t have cash. Bartercard dug up that idea and developed the concept in an innova-tive way.”

In the light of the change, El Hadd-ad commented “We believe Barter-card and the management team in the person of Fadi Nohra the Man-aging Director will grow the network and empower our trading.”

In the advent of the global econom-ic crisis, Al Wasl strongly believes that every business owner should turn to Bartercard in order to protect their business, and grow it.

“Exchanging products and services between companies is a good thing, especially nowa-days as everybody is less will-ing to spend.”

The Group recommends that in order to grow and sustain their businesses, in the midst of this worldwide financial crisis, mem-bers must maintain an active rela-tionship with Bartercard.

Al Wasl Group intends to remain constantly and actively involved in the Barter community.
