Tradebank of Atlanta-DeKalb Has New Regional Owners
LAWRENCEVILLE, GA (September, 30 2009) Tradebank International Inc. (Tradebank) is pleased to announce that the Tradebank of Atlanta-DeKalb region is under new ownership. Julius Green and Lance Melon purchased the DeKalb territory, on September 1, 2009, with the goal of exponentially increasing barter activity in the region and to further educate local businesses on the benefits of barter. This announcement was made today by Todd Gerry, President of Franchising for Tradebank International Franchising Corporation.
“Barter offers great benefits to business owners looking to save cash on expenses and overhead,” stated Green who previously worked as a Prepaid Legal executive director and in corporate America as manager of financial accounting. “Based on my financial background, I understand and am impressed with how barter can affect the bottom line of a business.” Lance Melon and his wife, Linda Melon, were previously in business at the Gwinnett Place and North Lake Malls owning two separate kiosk merchandise displays. Linda is now Tradebank of Atlanta-DeKalb’s full-time broker.
Tradebank of Atlanta-DeKalb was previously managed by Jerry and Teresa Holley, who currently operate two other Tradebank franchise regions in the Metro Atlanta area. Many loyal business owners and professionals are currently members of Tradebank of Atlanta-DeKalb and have been enjoying the benefits of bartering for products and services they would otherwise pay cash for.
“Business owners are always looking to expand their business throughout the year,” stated Gerry of the 22-yr. old, Lawrenceville-based Tradebank headquarters, “but what are they doing in order to make it happen? One overlooked solution for those who have yet to achieve their business goals, or those who just want to bolster their bottom line a bit more, is bartering. Tradebank provides an immediate ability to tap into a market that is guaranteed to provide new, incremental business.”
Many businesses have chosen recently to find out what barter is all about. Tradebank has recently seen ‘09Q2 trade volume go up 11% and new account sales go up by 51% compared to ’08Q2.
