Although that points out some of the "worst-case scenarios" under the barter realm, the fact remains that barter has been an effective tool for centuries whereby one party can swap unwanted items in exchange for items desired. Using the barter system, many businesses have turned losses into gains...or at least into tangible assets.
This historic process can be achieved with MIP simply negotiating between two or more party transactions -- putting our clients in direct contact with the party or
supplier(s). All agreements are between our clients and the suppliers as negotiated by MIP. This will assure a tracking process as to where both parties' inventory ends up and eliminates one or more middlemen.
MIP consults with corporations throughout the world, and our contacts include product for product trade, product liquidation, media barter, and more. Also, through our Representative Offices, MIP can negotiate multiple trade agreements (involving three or more party transactions) between multi-national organizations, foreign governments and various entities all over the world. For example, a client may trade farm tractors in exchange for long stem cotton. Subsequently, the 2nd party would trade a portion of the cotton for fertilizer. We also work with brokerage firms and manufacturers worldwide on a commission basis.
MIP requires barter transactions equal to inventory values of $25,000.00 or more. Barter is not our main business focus and is most often used as a tool to further expand our client's advertising dollars or increase exposure. However, our staff is well versed in the barter business. We charge a flat-rate 10% cash commission for arranging or negotiating barter agreements with potential parties based on the total value of the transaction. Often, we will accept a portion of our commission in barter to further reduce our client's cash expenditure.
