NATE Exchange in The Press:

A Better Barter: Using Bartering in your business can help you earn dough

 Don Mardak, CEO of International Monetary Systems, wrote a feature piece published in PMQ Pizza Magazine (Oct 2010).

Mardak speaks of how bartering is especially beneficial for restaurants by converting empty tables and pizza boxes into extra revenue. A local Wisconsin pizzeria owner describes how well bartering with IMS has helped his business.

  "Bartering brings in sales from an entirely different network - one that we wouldn't otherwise tap into. Consequently, we've landed different types of customers on a consistent basis."

BANC Spotlight

A big thank you goes to Crescent City Trade for continuing to be an active member of NATE and the BANC!! Here are some beautiful Bed & Breakfasts that Crescent City has available through BANC:

The Degas House

This historic site has 7 elegantly appointed rooms. This was once the maternal family home
of Edgar Degas, the French Impressionist painter. Each room has private bath, cable
and many amenities. Short taxi ride to CBD area for Convention Center, French
Quarter, Aquarium and Riverwalk. www.degashouse.com


HH Whitney House

Elegance is the hallmark of this beautiful Italianate-style home. Ceiling medallions adorn the foyer, dining room, parlor and solarium, while the main focal point of the bed and breakfast's interior is the convergence of three separate archways, which extend over the double-parlor and solarium. The union of these arches reaches toward the floor and is suspended effortlessly in mid-air. The HH Whitney House offers an elegant, yet relaxing atmosphere that will make your vacation, business trip or special occasion a memorable one.

Splendor Farms

This is a charming 30-acre Louisiana farm located 1/4 mile from the scenic Bogue Chitto River. Only an hour from the New Orleans airport and the famous French Quarter. We have plenty to offer nature and animal lovers looking for a place "to get away from it all". Wake up to an all natural, hot handmade breakfast. All the ingredients come from our farm. We offer a guide for horseback and trail riding, fishing and more.
