 BARTER IS ALWAYS SMARTER and I’ll scream it from the roof tops if I have to! Read this article to learn why the oldest currency ever has made a huge comeback. This week alone – I got my hair done, sent flowers to a friend, and some flyers designed–ALL ON BARTER. THE GIVE ‘N TAKE Network..allows you to do it all. 

The Story of Currency (Barter, Capital, Cash, Money, Credit)

By Danish Ahmed

Once upon a time, before there was any money, individuals in small communities would exchange products and services with each other.

To have a standard unit of measurement that was generally accepted by all, things like shells, cocoa beans, feathers, or even pretty stones were used to denote value.

Gold and silver, being soft, attractive, and easy to work with, soon were adopted by many cultures as a new standard. Goldsmiths made trade much easier, by casting coins — standardized units which could be measured to verify their purity.

The goldsmith needed a vault to protect his gold, and soon townsmen would come to the goldsmith to safeguard their gold as well. The goldsmith also made money by lending out his gold to fellow townsmen, charging interest.

Claim-checks (receipts) the goldsmith would write would be used in the marketplace for commerce, instead of the gold itself. This paper money was much more convenient because the exact amounts could be written down instead of being laboriously counted one-by-one.

Not everybody would ever come to reclaim their gold at once, so the goldsmith realized that he could lend out OTHER PEOPLE’S gold, charging interest, and making the interest money himself.

Eventually, depositors found out what was going on. But instead of demanding their gold back, they simply asked the goldsmith, now more banker than artisan, to cut them in on the profits of the interest he was collecting.

This was the beginning of banking. Depositors loan money to a bank at a small interest rate. The bank loans that money out at a much higher interest rate to a borrower. The difference in interest from depositor to borrower is kept by the bank to cover operations and profit.

However, this is not the way banking works today.

As industry expanded, demand for credit grew, and our goldsmith/banker had another brilliant idea! Nobody but him knew what was in the vault and so he could write claim-checks for gold (earning interest on it) that wasn’t even there. As long as everybody didn’t come at once to reclaim their gold, how would anybody find out?

Making money from nothing got to the banker’s head, and his ostentatious wealth was eventually questioned. The game was up, and the goldsmith went bankrupt. The phenomena of a “run on the bank” ruined individual banks and damaged public confidence in all bankers.

Instead of outlawing the practice of inventing money from nothing, the practice was legalized and regulated. Limits on “fictional loan money” were usually regulated at a ratio of 9:1, enforced by surprise inspection. Infusion of emergency money from a “central bank” would avoid a run on the bank for smaller institutions.

Today, our world banking system is based on this model of fictional loan money, with some accounts having ratios as high as 30:1. This system is not sustainable, and has led us into a collapsing economy of debt, where it becomes impossible to payback the initial capital plus interest, from a pool of currency that does not exist (or must be continually borrowed, creating more debt). Both individuals and governments cannot escape this financial slavery.

The healthcare crisis, social security, and the sub-prime mortgage meltdown are all examples of a now debt-based economy collapsing in on itself.

One way to escape this prison is to revert back to a barter network. This is why we build communities and networks. We exchange products and services with each other, avoiding the use of a government currency whenever possible. The quality of our life increases, without the need to pay interest or taxes on that trade.

Gold and precious metals may or may not become a standard once again. However, they have always retained their value over thousands of years, and it is always a good idea to have a backup means of currency.

Vida Wellness Spa is one of my favorite places to get pampered! On my birthday in March, I spent the majority of the day there getting pampered from head to toe, DIVA STYLE! LOL

I get my facials there monthly and recently have been HOOKED on Craniosacral Therapy. I’ve heard about it before,  but I didn’t really know what it was. I honestly don’t think all the definitions from Google can really explain the euphoric high it gives you. I felt sooooo good and relaxed. Whew!  I did not want to leave.  Here’s the definition anyhow, but like I said, you have to EXPERIENCE IT.

Craniosacral therapy (also called CST, also spelled Cranial Sacral bodywork or therapy) is an alternative medicine therapy used by osteopaths, massage therapists, naturopaths, and chiropractors. A craniosacral therapy session involves the therapist placing their hands on the patient, which allows them to tune into what they call the craniosacral rhythm.

The founders, Adiela and Melissa are not only phenomenal  at what they do, but are healers who deeply care about the well-being of their clients. And as a Give ‘n Take Member, they offer various services on barter such as massage, reiki, spiritual counseling and much more.

Last night, I just had a facial with them and next week, I’ll be going back for more!  Barter is soooo much smarter…You didn’t know?  You don’t have to be a member to visit them.

1) Lowers Your Customer Acquisition Cost.

Your cost for customer acquisition in the barter marketplace, when working through your trade exchange, is lower than in the cash marketplace. Unlike the cash world, where you have to hunt and pay for every lead or sale through the expenditure of time, effort and money, your barter business is “pushed” to you through the efforts of the exchange and your trade broker.

2) Greater Customer Retention.

Mail order catalog consultant Jack Schmid says that 50% of first-time buyers never come back for a second (catalog) purchase. Ouch! In the barter world the percentage of first-time buyers returning is much, much higher. Why? Simply because everyone operates in their own best interests.

And the trade exchange system rewards one for doing business in this manner, i.e. buying products and services at one’s “barter cost.” It’s always the best and most economical way to make a purchase. So a trade client is more of a “core customer” than a cash paying customer. They’ll continue frequenting your establishment, if all things are equal.

3) Ever Increasing Sales. 

The real measure of a healthy business lies in the strength, depth, and length of its relationships with its core customers. Satisfied barter customers will go out of their way to continually do business with you — buying more as well as placing larger orders.

Both the value and the borrowing power of a typical business can be increased if the business owner takes action to increase cash-flow and reinforce its predictability. And barter can play a major role in the enhancement of business strategies.
If you’re so busy earning a living on a daily basis that you don’t take the time to focus on activities which can make your business more valuable, more predictable, and more manageable… here are some suggestions.
It’s important to think about the future sales price of your business and attracting the best buyers, now-while you have the luxury of time to increase its market value.
Today is the best time to begin developing and implementing the strategies needed to build the value of your business. It is the largest single asset on a typical entrepreneur’s personal balance sheet. Use these 10 strategies to increase your company’s market value. In almost every case barter can play an important role in maximizing the value of these strategies.

1. Constantly contain costs by acquiring needed products and services whenever possible at your lower marginal cost of doing business through barter.

2. Diversify your customer base by bringing in new business through your trade exchange.

3. Improve operating efficiencies by trading for equipment or services that increase company efficiency, i.e. fax machines, computers, phone systems, and other services.

4. Make the business more recession-resistant by continually broadening your base of customers. This can be achieved by sustained advertising, through the efforts and assistance of your trade exchange…which builds your company’s name and develops a stronger image in the marketplace.

5. Use working capital more productively by taking advantage of every trading opportunity. Replace cash purchases with barter purchases.

6. Encourage internal teamwork through the use of rewards, bonuses, and perks for employees…all or which are available on trade.

7. Improve profit margins by trading at your marginal cost of doing business. Your barter or marginal cost of doing business does not include your fixed costs, as these are stable and covered by your on-going cash business.

8. Increase sales by developing new products or services. More barter sales mean more cash-flow and money for research and development of new products and services.

9. Improve market share automatically when barter sales are obtained.

10. Emphasize non-cyclical products and services by balancing out the boom and bust cycles of the cash world. Adding barter to your arsenal is a counter-cyclical business strategy.
