Conceptually Trade and barter are the same thing. In practical application however where barter and Trade differ is in the quality of companies that are involved with a network. Traditionally barter was thought of as a tool used by companies that were struggling to stay in business or needed a leg up to compete against other companies.
Trade Exchange Canada has coined the term Trade to highlight the true value of this powerful business tool as Trade allows small and large companies to use the power of barter-trade to generate new sales, reduce cash expenses and dramatically improve the bottom line.
