A Message from the Editor Barter 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. For inquiries about the barter bulletin contact info@ae.bartercard.com

Bartercard Upfront

Upfront 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...

“The variety of products available in the network proved satisfying to my needs.” Zafar purchased a buggy from one of the members that proved very useful during the winter. Most of his business related transactions are done on barter to save cash for other purposes. “Bartercard is not a replacement, nor an alternative, but a better sub-plot, best to be considered as the 2nd line of business.” Zafar reinforces the value of Bartercard especially during the current 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 benefits that Bartercard can provide to all kinds of businesses.” He encourages members to believe in the principles 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 phenomenon “The more, the merrier.”

Beef Up the Barter Idea Expanding the concept & strengthening the bonds

In an innovative move utilizing the power of Bartercard, Al Wasl International Group, one of the most prominent local law firms in the country, granted bonuses to employees using Trade Dirhams. This enabled them to gain access 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 company, were saving cash, while enjoying what Bartercard members have to offer.

lowed everyone to benefit from it

”

Said Mr. Jihad El-Haddad, a legal consultant of the group. Al Wasl International Group, Advocates & Legal Consultants, have offices operating in several Arab countries. They provide legal services to many industries including Information Technology, Banking and Finance, Corporate and Commercial, Maritime, Intellectual Property, Criminal, Personal Status, 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.

Bartercard Member News

Specialized in corporate law, Al Wasl offers a wide range of legal services including drafting all kinds of contracts, and establishing companies in the UAE and abroad. Since the group joined Bartercard, a successful relationship developed between the two entities. “We consider our group a strong supporter of Bartercard.” The group also built successful relationships with Bartercard members.

“

It’s actually an old concept, 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 innovative way.

”

In the light of the change, El Haddad commented “We believe Bartercard and the management team in the person of Fadi Nohra the Managing Director will grow the network and empower our trading.” In the advent of the global economic 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 nowadays as everybody is less willing to spend.” The Group recommends that in order to grow and sustain their businesses, in the midst of this worldwide financial crisis, members must maintain an active relationship with Bartercard. Al Wasl Group intends to remain constantly and actively involved in the Barter community.
