I have used Barter Connection for almost 25 years in several companies I have worked for. We used the vendors of Barter Connections to conserve cash where possible. In one company alone we saved thousands of dollars in bottled water costs by having Poland Springs water bubblers throughout our factories.
There have been times when our sales staff has traveled to New York City and Barter Connections came through again for hotel rooms. Maybe it wasn’t the Waldorf Astoria but the hotels were at least a 3 to 4 star properties.
I found that patience is very important as all items and services are not always available. If given enough time, the Barter Connections staff searched to find something to accommodate us. Sometimes best efforts could not find what I needed and I understood that side of the barter transaction.
All in all when I look back over the years, barter, when done right, has saved the companies I worked for significant dollars. Ken and his group have saved many Christmases by suggesting that I use my trade dollars for my employees by giving them gift certificates to great restaurants as a thank you bonus. This helped us keep our cash on hand for other hard item dollar purchases.
I would recommend anyone interested in barter to discuss with Ken Barron, owner of Barter Connections their specific needs before taking next steps. Research and make your decision based on the mutual exchange of new customers brought to your door and the products and services your require along with what you are exchanging.

My previous companies have used Barter Connections in the past and found that we were able to obtain products and services needed to help run our business. In some cases it did not happen instantly but within a reasonable period of time we had the services performed. In my business we needed the basics whick included coffee for our 150 employees. Poland Spring water fountains helped by providing water stations in our factories.
On occasion we travelled to New York City and called Ken at Barter Connections. We were given several choices of hotels at different prices for us to make the choice. A car rental was also provided ans was perfectly acceptable to meet our short travel needs.
If you can keep an open mind and have some flexibility, Barter Connections can work out your requests. I have found that patience is required but results is what counts.
I cannot speak for anyone else, so I have listed some of my positives.
