Back to Barter: A Solution for Struggling Paint and Coatings Companies - Paint & Coating Industry

IMS Barter

Everything old is new again. As the paint and coatings business struggles as a result of COVID-19, the oldest form of trade - barter - is booming. However, this is not your father’s direct trade barter model. And that makes it even more appealing to cash-strapped businesses now.

Business-to-business trading has been providing an alternative method of payment that conserves cash, attracts new customers and gives businesses a competitive advantage.

What people say

"I have been enjoying IMS Barter for as long as I have been a consultant for Pampered Chef, about 10 years. As an owner of a two-family home, owned for rental purposes, I can testify that my barter bucks come in very handy. Whenever there is a plumbing or electrical issue at the property, I call one of the businesses in the barter directory and they handle the problem for me without cash changing hands or a credit card being swiped. Barter people are prompt, courteous and very professional. I have also had barter carpet installed and used barter bucks for furnace and air conditioning cleaning. Go IMS Barter!"
