Bareter is Money, Baretering is Negotiating

Bartering is more valuable than money in the world of small business. As a business owner or entrepreneur, you can grow your business by setting up an exchange system with someone you trust that is offering a service or item of value to you. Smart Bareter a site launching summer ’08 can help fostering relationships between entrepreneurs, business owners, and self starters.


The art of negotiation is also baretering. To exchange services, items and ideas for something equivalent in value is bartering, but to get what you want for it is negotiation. For example if you want advertising for the business and offer graphic design services, you search for the best vehicle to advertise and offer a proposal to begin negotiation for the service or advertising wanted.


Baretering is very simple and worth it, especially if you build a relationship with another entrepreneur, business owner or self starter.
