NEW VENTURE HELPING LOCAL ENTREPRENEURS GROW THEIR BUSINESSES THROUGH TRADE

 PETERBOROUGH, Ontario, March 20, 2013 – Born and raised in Peterborough, Kendra and Jeff Kidd have worked for a variety of local business owners over the past couple decades, even were business owners themselves as Subway Sandwiches franchisees. They have seen the countless hours, persistence and dedication that these owners have put into their businesses. They wanted to create a network where business owners could conserve their hard earned cash, and instead trade their products and services with other local owners.

Jeff recently completed the Ontario Self Employment Benefit program through the Peterborough / Northumberland CFDC, which has given the couple the opportunity to launch Synergy Barter Network.

Barter has been around for many years. Exchanges have popped up in this city before. But what makes this one different?

“We are not a members only group – everyone is welcome, there are no fees to sign-up and no monthly or annual fees. We want to offer the widest selection of products and services. As long as your business wants to grow then we can help. Some of the benefits to adding your products or services to our Trading Floor are that we are talking with other local business owners everyday – promoting your business. You have a new product launch – we’ll let people know. You have an exciting event coming up? Our social media team will be advertising right beside you. When your business succeeds our business will succeed.”

They have already aligned with some very respectable local businesses like The Pizza Factory, Zeebons Signs, Pettigrew Spa and Play Street.

“Play Street joined Synergy Barter so that we would have a local company that services our community, and allows local business owners a way to promote, and grow in our market. I look forward to watching Synergy Barter thrive.” Tom Skopelianos from the popular kids Play Street on the corner of Brealey and Lansdowne.

Many business owners have made one on one trade with other business owners, but what if they have something you don’t really want? Or how do you create an equal value so everyone wins? With a barter network they earn credits, equivalent to a Canadian Dollar to make purchases from any business in the network. If you charge HST on a cash transaction then you would do the same with a barter transaction. The Canadian Revenue Agency has very clear guidelines laid out on the legalities and use of barter units.

Take a look around your business. Do you have open seats, vacant rooms? Can you take on 10% new business this year? Starting up and strapped for cash? Looking for an affordable (free) way to promote your business? Give Synergy Barter Network a try. Add your business to the network, risk free. Let Kendra and Jeff show you all that barter can do for your business. Visit their website at www.SynergyBarter.com or give them a call (705) 201 1716.
