Barter News Weekly

Re: Reciprocal Barter Arrangements

With more than $2.6 billion USD in barter done by Ormita to date it’s a bit of a worry that few people in the industry actually understand what we do.

We like to work with other barter companies but we do little of it simply because they do not understand our business model and/or are not sized accordingly. I would like to rectify this issue by explaining what we do and how we can help your barter customers and, ultimately, you.

First off: we typically work with Governments, Manufacturers and Media. These people can sell direct to end-consumers (not retailers in most cases and not importers) on barter. The benefit for them is that they make the “markup” on barter at a higher percentage than if they sold via an importer, wholesaler, retailer and then to an end-user…

Secondly: we help businesses moving into international markets and seeking international customers.

Some reasons to find foreign (cash paying) customers

About half the USA & Europe debts are to China and India.

Since 1975 imports to the USA have exceeded exports.

Businesses need to find new ways to create sales in a rapidly changing market.

Businesses who do not change run the risk of market erosion and eventual financial collapse!

….

Ormita provides a way for businesses in your area to enter new Rapidly Emerging Markets in a risk-free manner and get more CASH PAYING CUSTOMERS!!!

We can also provide your barter exchange members with free telephone, SKYPE or in-person consulting services on how to enter the market, work out a budget of expenses and offset those expenses against barter-backed sales.

You charge the fees to YOUR customers for their transactions (purchases and sales) via your barter exchange. We do not charge you or your customers. We do not recieve fees from you.

We benefit from stimulating overall trade between businesses.

Ormita can help your customers enter the following markets:

- Poland

- Germany

- Greece

- Sweden

- Turkey

- Iran

- China *** (the fastest growing market in the world)

- Hong Kong

- India *** *** (one of fastest growing markets in the world)

- Mexico

When a company enters a foreign market they must pay for:

- Advertising, legal advice, incorporations, equipment, accounting services, hospitality, accommodations, translation, localisation and other expenses.

All of these things Ormita can provide to them on a barter basis.

In some markets counter-trade may be mandated by law and we can work out solutions for them to create profitable counter-trade arrangements and cash out of these (recieve barter in return and sell that for cash).

As I mentioned, very few exchange operators understand what we do in the larger scheme of things. In some instances we represent foreign governments directly, in some we represent corporations and others new start-ups. Our range of business activities spans the entire gambit of barter and non-cash based transactions and is not restricted to retail barter.

I would like to work with your organisation to offer your customers other ways to earn REAL CASH in foreign countries and to offset any expenses that they may have in doing so through barter arrangements.

Our goal is a bit different to some exchanges in that all of our activities are based around generating new cash sales for our customers as well as offsetting existing expenses and because of the size of transactions we are able to deal with, as well as our government representations in trade, we can assist in fairly complex arrangements.

For barter dollars spent by your members on our members products or services we generally only want media (advertising) or hotel accommodation in return and we are happy to let you have a recip account with us and to offer you advance credits.

Essentially: if your customers are looking for deals in foreign markets and/or cash customers from foreign markets we can make it happen. Also if they are looking for sourcing from foreign markets (provided these are high-value long term relationships as sourcing on barter for once-off deals is not our focus).

Please let me know what you need from us and we will set up a call to make it happen. Again: we don’t prefer one-off deals on barter except for market-entry assistance but for products import/export on barter we only look for longer term transactions of higher values.
