2. Bartering for advertising allows businesses to
promote their products or services without having
to outlay extra cash costs to do so.
“The secret of success is to find out where
everyone else is going and get there first.”
- Mark Twain
Advertising is important to retaining a businesses brand value, reputation and market position with
consumers. Just as Stuart Henderson Britt said, “Doing business without advertising is like winking at a girl in the dark.
You might know what you are doing, but nobody else does,” it is very difficult to do business if no one knows that you
exist, much less what you are about.
Do You Really Need Advertising?
You’ve developed great products and services and sold them as well as anyone. That’s why you’re in business.
Now you want to grow by gaining more clients to take your business to the next level.

3. Other Reasons to Consider Bartering for Advertising
Bartering Moves Excess Inventory
& Fills Idle Space and Time
Bartering Maximises The Value of
Your Excess Capacity
Every business owner struggles with
the dilemma of what to do with depreciating inventory or idle time. By
bartering for advertising with Ormita
you are using that excess capacity to
generate more cash sales.
Bartering via Ormita will return more
value for your product or service than
either discounting or cash liquidation would allow. Bartering can even
recover the original wholesale price,
including the full anticipated profit.
Barter Improves Cash Flow
Creating Wholesale Buying Power
There are three basic ways to improve
your cash flow - maximise your return
on investment, generate additional
sales and reduce costs. Ormita does all
three of these things. Bartering allows
you to buy advertising using your
depreciating inventory or previously
unsold time, empty hotel rooms or unfilled seats. Rather than discounting,
you are maximising the value of those
assets while generating incremental
sales. When you purchase media using those barter credits the payment
is made from new sales -- sales that
would not have otherwise happened.
With barter, the real cost of the advertising is the cost to make a new sale.
For time or serviced based industries
this is nominal. For product manufacturers this is either: the cost to manufacturer a replacement product; or the
extra margin that you would not have
earned if you had sold for the distressed item at liquidation prices.
Attracts New Cash Paying Clients
By using barter to acquire advertising
you are increasing the possibilities
that people will recognise your product or service and buy from you for
cash you’re the time is right.
Ensures Retention of Brand Value
Ormita allows you to barter your
product or service at full market
value without impacting your brand
or cash-paying customers. By selling
“off-market” to Ormita members a
business retains full control over product placement and pricing. Ormita
matches sellers with buyers from
across the globe – providing a new
outlet to move those products.
Generates Cash Referrals
People who acquire your product or
service on barter are likely to tell others. This may result in more “wordof-mouth” referrals, an increased
work-portfolio, more recommendations, improved organizational skills,
higher visibility and more cash sales.

4. Bartering for Advertising Expands Your Market Share
Advertising is essentially mass-produced salesmanship. If it were possible to speak to all of one’s prospects
face-to-face, no one would bother to use advertising. Because most businesses cannot do this, they need to pay for
some form of advertisement. Unfortunately, the cost of advertising may be too high for many businesses, particularly in the current economic environment. Barter can be the saviour of such an enterprise.
What Can Be Exchanged for Advertising?
• Excess Inventory
• Depreciating Assets
• Undervalued Stock
• Incorrectly Packaged Stock
• End-of-line Items
• Test Products
• Event Tickets
• Hotel Room Nights
• Real Estate / Property
• Transportation Services
• Professional Services
• Gift Vouchers
What Can Not Be Bartered?
• Expired Items (unless they can be re-purposed)
Some Basic Rules of Barter
When Selling Your Product on Barter
When Buying Your Product on Barter
• Ormita does not sell your product for cash – ever. Instead
• You can not buy advertising from a business you have
we barter it through our network.
• You may be required to provide us with copies of bro-
chures, marketing materials and/or samples of your
product. You may also have to show us proof of product
RRP/wholesale price.
• You will need to tell us if there are any restrictions on
where your product can go or who it can be sold to on
barter. (We don’t want to impact your current cash market).
• When you sell your account with Ormita is credited the
value of the sale as if it were a cash sale. You use that
credit to buy advertising through the Ormita network.
• There are no costs to accrue barter credits in your account
and no monthly or entry fees.

already purchased from using cash within the last 12
months. (You could instead choose another available advertising outlet which has a similar audience).
• Prices are rate card or better (depending on volume and
frequency of advertising).
• Not all media are available all the time.
• Most media require “brand approval”. This means you
will need to submit information to them about what you
are intending to advertise, copies of your brochures and
any examples of other advertising you have done
elsewhere.
• All media barter buys are 100% barter unless otherwise
noted. (There is a 14% cash fee on every advertising purchase
to cover our costs).

Our Process
1. You provide us exact details of the stock, product or service that you wish to barter including:
a. Brochures / Sales Literature / Website Address
b. List of inventory (if a product) or amount of gift vouchers (if a service)
c. Wholesale and RRP price
d. Physical location of product or service
2. You tell us what you would like to buy on advertising including:
a. What type of product or service you would like to advertise using your barter credits
b. Type of media (print, outdoor, radio, tv etc)
c. Demographics (location, age range, income bracket, occupations etc)
3. We will make an evaluation on the viability of the offering for barter. At this time we will:
a. Provide you with an indication of some of the types of media which may be suitable
b. Provide an indication of the types of buyers we may have for your product or service (if yet known)
This may take us up to fourteen (14) days.
4. Once we have come up with an agreed plan we will move to sell your product or service and place the credits
into your barter account.
5. You then use those credits to buy the named advertising you have chosen (or any additional future media you
may require).
Our media includes large, well-known, global publications through to niche-industry magazines and radio stations.
Not every type of media is available on barter – the important thing is reaching the right target audience.

media and find out what works best for your business – at almost no cost!

9. Unproductive or unsold assets are
known as “dead capital” and there
is an estimated 9.3 trillion dollars of
it world-wide.
Unsold appointment time, empty hotel rooms, unsold venue passes, unfilled advertising space, rapidly
depreciating stock, end-of-line items or oversupplied products all represent lost revenue which otherwise
will never be recovered. It is Ormita’s mission to transform this otherwise lost profit into new income,
investments and benefits for corporations.
Ormita works directly with Government Ministries, State Owned Enterprises, Fortune 500
Companies, Stock Exchange Listed Companies and a handful of carefully selected private corporations in 54 countries.

10. Ormita has offices in 23 countries
According to studies undertaken by the U.S. Department of Commerce (DOC), GATT and World Bank; reciprocal
trade, counter-trade, retail barter and community currencies remain a popular method of commerce with 20 to
30 percent of world trade being facilitated through some form of barter, World-wide corporate barter has reached
the $200 billion mark as well and counter-trade reportedly accounts for over 4 trillion dollars in transactions
annually.
Everyone wants to conserve cash and generate more wealth and in a highly competitive market every business is
on the look-out for something that will give them a competitive edge. The barter industry represents an amazing
opportunity for participants – allowing them to “trade what they have – for what they want”.
When a business can convert its surplus capacity into something of value – either expense already budgeted for
or investments aimed at company growth – they will succeed.
When we established the Ormita brand we had an objective of creating a business that would be successful,
sustainable and create value - not just for shareholders, but for our customers as well. In short: we wanted to
establish a business that we could be proud of for its value to our friends, colleagues and society, as well as to
our own pockets.
We believe that Ormita has succeeded in this mission.
Our vision is much more than being successful – it is the combined excellence and commitment to our members,
staff and all other stakeholders, and the communities we serve. Above all, we believe Ormita is well placed to
deliver significant returns for our customers and partners.
