1. Barter & Stock
THE BARTER: WHAT IS IT?
The barter activity comes from the English term “barter”, mostly known as
“goods exchange” activity. This process is going to be more and more
implemented in the ADV investements world.
For companies the barters could represent a very big opportunity to
schedule mediaplans avoiding cashflow outcomes, and they can be an
excellent alternative profitability source.
Our business model is very simple: the one, who invests in adv has the
possibility to pay by his own goods instead of money. The products will be
sold (respecting all selling clauses and imposed selling limits) on the market
to create cashflow.
In the 1980's and early 1990's media-centers frequently accepted payments
by goods as well, when there were no possibilities to get payments by cash;
problems occoured when they used to sell products, and receive cashflow.
Selling these products resulted more complicated as they thought and
sometime cashflow could not even cover the ADV investments.
Those elements caused grave depreciation on the company's balance sheet
and management. All these issues were unknown in the ADV world:
2. logistics, goods transportation, expiry date of perishable goods, correct
evaluation of the barter goods, respect of the limits and so on.
This is why Barter agencies were born: targeted structures organised to buy
and sell, on the behalf of media-centers, all products of entire commercial
fields.
In this contest and in the pure stock field, Stockist.it was created and
developed: a company, which stands as an ideal partner for any kind of ADV
investment, stocklot or surplus selling.
THE BARTER: HOW DOES IT WORK ?
Our logic is very straight-forward:
The client / ADV Investor sells his own goods to the Barter agency and
receives the needed advertisement in return.
The invoices between ADV Investors and Barter compensate themselves,
deleting cashflow and simplifying the administrative process; the Barter will
devise how and where to sell the goods, respecting all selling limits and
restrictions agreed. It will ask the media-center an extra discount, which
represents the operative edge profit.
In brief, please find below our operative scheme:
1)ADV Investor / client invoices the goods to the Barter
2)The Media Center invoices the ADV to the Barter Agency with an extra
discount and finally the Barter sells the ADV to the client for the same
amount of the goods (reaching invoice balance).
3)The Barter Agency sells the goods to third customers, applying a minor
discount than the one received by the Media Center.
It is estimated that in the past years over than 400.000.000 EU of ADV
invoices were invested through the barter formula.
The Barter is not the automatic and definitive solution to all issues of ADV
budgeting but it represents an extraordinary opportunity to evaluate case by
case
