(27) I own a small advertising agency
Let me tell you what one woman did, using the strategies of the Private Trade Dollar System. Ann, who owns a small advertising business, acquired 5,000 ordinary white T-shirts from a friend who was moving away and needed to get rid of them. The friend offered to sell all for a bargain price of 35 cents each. Ann bought them and paid $1,750 (in cash). Ann then made a trade with a silk screen printing company for an agreement to imprint 4,000 T-shirts in exchange for 1,000 T-shirts that the printer would have for their own use. At this point, Ann now owns 4,000 T-shirts, including the printing (to be done), for a new total of 44 cents each. She set a regular retail price of $7.95 per and then traded all 4,000 T-shirts to a group of radio stations to be imprinted with their logo. Ann received run-of-the-station radio spots and got a 1 and ½ to 1 ratio, meaning that she received a total of $47,680 in radio time. Ann then proceeded to trade the radio spots to local businesses at the normal radio station rates plus 15 percent in cash for her agency ad fee. Through using the multiple strategies, she turned a $1,750 cash investment into $47,680 in goods and services with local businesses and also got about $5,000 in cash fees. The radio station got 4,000 promotional T-shirts and paid for them with unused air time, which, except for the trade, would have been lost as part of its vanishing inventory of time. Everybody came out a winner, which is what should happen in any trade. Once we fully grasp the fact that the Private Trade Dollar System trading is entirely new business for both parties using vanishing inventories, and not a substitute for a cash sale by anyone, we will know its power.
