SOCIAL NETWORK SITE SYNERGYSTREETTRADE.COM OFFERS THE HOLIDAY CASH-STRAPPED A NEW VEHICLE TO GET WHAT THEY NEED & WANT!

December 1, 2009, Charlotte, NC – SynergyStreetTrade.com, a website based on the age-old barter principle, offers cash-strapped holiday shoppers a new vehicle to get what they need without using their valuable cash resources. Other sites that offer barter facilities are limited in that they only offer barter opportunities when the two trade items match up with each other. With SynergyStreetTrade.com you can barter using the community currency ‘SynergyStreet Trade Dollars’ (SST$) in lieu of cash and as long as you are part of the barter community and have listed some items of value, you can trade with anyone for anything.

All that is needed to join SynergyStreetTrade.com is a valid email address, web access and something to trade.

Once registered, users may immediately begin to list and sell their items to other members in the community for trade dollars. When they’ve sold something, they can immediately buy items in the community using those same trade dollars. It’s all tracked online at the members trade “bank” account. Participation in SynergyStreetTrade.com opens a whole new vista of opportunity for the participating members to acquire goods and services of any description.

All of the transactions are handled online in real-time, 24/7, via our state-of-the-art software platform,” says Tony Holden, Founder and CEO of SynergyStreetTrade.com
When people barter their products or services with SynergyStreetTrade.com they have several advantages :
1) Be part of the ONE and ONLY social network that offers barter facilities AND networking
2) Sell services and products at market value, but benefit from the cost value
3) Buy products and services with ‘Synergy Trade Dollars’ (SST$) thus conserving their valuable cash
3) Fill unproductive time with productive time and instead of selling excess inventory at drastic reductions or losses, they sell at market value.

With the economy in turmoil right now, people are losing their houses and unable to pay their bills or keep their homes operating. Business Owners are constantly looking for cost effective and time-saving ways to market their products and services and this portal presents a unique opportunity to get the word out on their business activities to a qualified and pre-selected local, regional or international market. They plug in their information and the system markets them, and what they have to offer to prospective ‘clients’.

SynergyStreetTrade.com has a special program for veterans and members of the Armed Services. This includes a gift of 100 SST$ (Synergy Street Trade dollars) for any veteran or member of the Military who joins the community and lists $100 or more of personal or business products or services for sale. . “We’d also like to offer any veteran or member of the Military, who has a business, a line of credit of at least $100, to help them with a little “boost” for their business in this economy. It’s just our way of giving a little something back to those who have given so much for us all.” , says Holden. 

“We are already topping in excess of 80 million dollars of product and service offerings for barter through trading partners in the USA, Canada, South America, Europe, Asia, India and New Zealand. We’re very excited about the prospects of building the largest global entrepreneurial community for commerce and collaboration. Unlike other trade exchanges in the market, SynergyStreetTRADE.com offers a “flat-fee”, unlimited self-service network, or a “Guest Membership” where you only pay a nominal fee when you find something you want to buy. It’s very economical to “try” trade if it’s new to you. There are no long-term contracts and a member is in complete control of all of their barter trades,” says Holden.
“Many entrepreneurs may not qualify for conventional bank financing either because of past credit challenges or a limited time in business, but access to capital is one of the greatest needs a business owner has,” says Holden.

“SynergyStreetTrade.com has the capability to issue this much needed ‘trade dollar’ credit if we can see the community has a need for the product or service the company offers. Alternative currency is big, and SynergyStreetTrade.com is on the cutting-edge.” Holden states that the SynergyStreetTrade.com platform is ‘like an alternative currency banking system’. It is important for members to understand that their barter transactions are treated the same as cash transactions for purposes of taxes.

All member account and transaction records are kept online and accessible by members at any time. Additionally we are required by the I.R.S. to provide all members and the government a “1099-B” at tax time. The flip side of this is that many of these trade dollar purchases are also tax deductible in the normal course of business & personal expenses.
Today, barter trade of goods and services represents an increasingly significant percentage of our global economy, especially since the advent of organized barter trade exchanges and their accessibility through the internet. 

As a serial entrepreneur, business owner and consultant to businesses for 30 years, Tony Holden, Founder and CEO of SynergyStreetTrade.com, says, “The unique combination of barter trade and online social networking is an idea whose time has come. It offers something for everyone, and the timing is perfect. We saw a niche opportunity to serve individuals, families and businesses, by building a portal where they could build relationships, trade, grow their business and enrich their lives. In essence we’re helping people help themselves; from cyberspace to face-to-face!”
