General Info:
We are Kevin and Karen Brown and we are thrilled to bring the local exchange concept to Westchester and Rockland Counties in New York. We are a business couple with 40 years of combined sales experience. Kevin spent the last two decades in sales, media and marketing at ABC, CBS, Fox News Channel and Current TV. Karen worked for a consortium of mid-size business travel agencies and went on to open local businesses of her own. Realizing the potential for barter in Westchester, Karen and Kevin underwent intensive training as operators of a trade exchange. "Based on both of our experiences, it became clear that businesses often want to trade for their goods and services but there was a void in the local marketplace for a company to handle this type of transaction. When our Uncle Alan joined a Barter Exchange for his college counseling business, it became clear to us that the concept was long overdue in our area. He has built his clientele with many new barter paying clients who would not have known of his service before and he has added a comparable number of cash paying customers from the word-of-mouth referrals." We will professionally and effectively market you to other members of the exchange. These incremental customers will bring you new barter business and also new cash business and these customers drive by all of your competitors to do business with you. We will consistently focus on building your cash business. With our expertise in media planning and marketing strategy, we will help you invest your trade dollars into ad awareness and sales efforts to bring you more cash paying customers.... all funded by the incremental business we brought your small business. Don't think you can afford radio and television advertising? Let us earn you the budget to do just that. We will consult with you to help you advance your business by using barter dollars to cover monthly cash expenses from landscaping to printing, legal work to dentistry, property maintenance to entertaining. This will allow you to use your cash for other projects that were previously unaffordable. Our company will be a first class exchange with impeccable record keeping, making your experience in the trading realm as simple and effective as possible. You will have fun! Hudson Barter Exchange is a member of a national consortium of trade exchanges that allows you to use your trade revenue to buy a host of nationally available travel, goods and services. This allows you the opportunity to market your company around the U.S. as part of your membership and spend your barter dollars on having some fun!
