(September 21, 2009) (Charlotte, NC): ITEX Corporation, the growing
leader in barter-based business transactions, announced the launch of
ITEX in Charlotte, North Carolina. ITEX Franchise Owner, Warren
Stone, is excited to introduce the barter organization in the
Charlotte market and spearhead local recruitment efforts. With over
24,000 network members, ITEX is the leading Trading Community for
cashless transactions across North America.
Tens of thousands of small businesses, mid-sized companies, and large
corporations reap the benefits of barter every day. Every year, ITEX
members conduct more than $270 Million in barter transactions across
the US. "Many business owners are naturally curious about how barter
can benefit their bottom line," says Warren Stone, owner of the local
Charlotte ITEX office. "We encourage owners from every industry and
market in Charlotte to give ITEX a call to discover how we can help
you grow your business with the power of barter." The Charlotte
office of ITEX already boasts over seventy members and projects to
recruit over one hundred businesses by the end of the year.
Membership opportunities are available throughout the metro Charlotte
area including Ballantyne, Center City, Pineville, Rock Hill as well
as surrounding communities. The Charlotte team schedules weekly
orientations to encourage networking and foster transactions within
the growing membership base. Weekly events also illustrate different
strategies for participants to leverage their membership and save cash.
Almost any business can benefit from barter. "Our members come from
numerous industries and includes a majority of the businesses in the
Charlotte area," says Warren Stone. "We are seeking businesses who
want to increase cash flow, bolster sales and generate new customers."
ITEX is quickly growing in popularity across the Charlotte market as
an alternative means of doing business. With the launch of ITEX in
this region, numerous Charlotte businesses can increase sales and make
important purchases without spending all their cash. Successful ITEX
members sell excess merchandise and then bank the dollars in their
ITEX account to spend later on corporate travel, meals, office
supplies, professional services, and more, effectively converting
excess supply into ITEX purchasing power.
Quite simply, "ITEX is an incredible tool to turn 'what you have' into
'what you need,'" says Warren Stone. Barter is business without the
cash! For more information about joining ITEX, call 704-749-3600 or
