North of The James - January 2005
Cindy Creasy Trade and Concepts by Charles G. McGuigan
Cindy Creasy Woolfolk grew up around music, promotions, public relations,
production and advertising. She was immersed in a bath of radio and
television from the time she was an infant, and she osmotically absorbed
everything about the industry. She’s a gracious woman
with a bountiful heart, a fluid voice and the spirit of a bonvivant.
She’s a natural born entertainer with bluegreen eyes, blonde
hair and a smattering of reddish freckles over an alabaster complexion.
Over the years she has worked hard for small businesses, mapping out
advertising strategies, creating marketing concepts. It’s always
been one on-one, Cindy and the client. And now she’s taken this
to a whole new level with James River Trading Exchange. (more

Inc Magazine
"A barter exchange - for those who haven't
used one - combines the functions of classified advertising and a
bank. Customers sign up to sell anything from drywall to dentistry,
the exchange compiles the listings in a directory, and buyers contact
sellers directly or through a broker employed by the exchange." |
| |
Kiplinger Personal Financial Magazine
"Think of barter
as a supplement to your regular cash business, not a replacement for
it. For most businesses, producing a 6-8% of sales per year by barter
is a reasonable ceiling." |
| |
"The key to successful bartering is know how to use the system.
Learn to be flexible in your buying habits. Give your trade broker
time to find what you want, and be willing to help by giving referrals."
"There's no tax advantage or disadvantage to bartering.
Cash sales and trade sales are treated identical under the tax law."

Opportunity World
"Businesses are bartering for many
reasons. Most important, perhaps, is that it gives them the ability
to leverage their cash reserves into more purchasing power while increasing
cash flow and lowering overhead expenses." |
| |
Nation's Restaurant News
"Barter exchanges help cash-strapped
entrepreneurs stimulate sales, develop new clients, convert excess
capacity or inventory into revenue, and acquire goods and services
needed to conduct a business. The most important benefit of barter
is cash conservation: keeping cash in the bank while using barter
revenue to offset normal operating costs." |

Hotel & Motel Management
"Bartering turns empty rooms
into valuable commodities. Trading room nights brings hotels new customers
to feed other profit centers - such as food and beverage, telephone,
laundry and parking -- with opportunity to return as a cash customer
and even refer a few friends." |
| |
Good Housekeeping
"Small business owners tend to be the biggest beneficiaries
of barter because they can trade goods based on their own wholesale
cost." |
