What is Champaign Barter?
Champaign Barter is a business-to-business trading network. Members buy and sell their products and services to each other without using cash. Instead, every time a member makes a sale or a purchase, the exchange software debits the buyer's account and credits the seller's account with units we call trade dollars.
Each client gets a statement every month, similar to a bank statement, showing sales, purchases, balance, and fees. It's easy and it's fun; and it gives you another tool to help make your business more productive.
And, when you trade through Champaign Barter:
One on one trades are not necessary.
Equal value trades are not necessary.
Barter was around long before cash. Formal trade or barter exchanges however, first began to appear in th e late 1970's when business owners started to see the value of trading or bartering their products and services within a group of other businesses.
