I love shopping local. It’s my thing.
I live in a thriving downtown area in my city. I want it to stay thriving. That’s why I eat at local restaurants, get my coffee at local coffee shops and shop at local stores.
There is a great boutique store that opened a few months ago that’s a few blocks from me. I frequent it a lot these days because the owner is hilarious and she’s such a savvy businesswoman I love dropping by and hearing her talk.
Today we discussed her social media and web presence. She has as a Facebook page but her social media presence isn’t robust. I can help her change that very easily. And in exchange I’ll get wine for free.
It’s not every day that I agree to an exchange like this, but it certainly works for me.
Definitely something worth bartering for.
Agreed :)
LOL. I work for wine also :) cheers
So, I’m not alone :)
i have a fairly long list of things i would work for. wine is one of them. also designer handbags, kitchen gadgets, hummus, and bacon. where are the bacon people?
BACON! You had me at hello! Don’t see people posting that much. Love Love Love!
I don’t mind working for barter if it’s mutually beneficial. The problem that i have around here is that there are too many that want to do ONLY that. Like a wise woman told me once in a cute little coffee/wine boutique.. sometimes you have to move out to move up (which I’ve done) :)
Oh, I would totally do that too :)
Jennifer! You have a big heart. If we get too big to take a step back and help someone on their way up we might miss out on a beautiful friendship. Amazing people have helped me along the way. I am blessed. You go girl! Paying it forward! Enjoy the wine! And keep us posted!
I totally advocate a return to the barter system! Wine exchanged for expertise? Yes, it’s a WIN!
Jennifer, I think you’ve found part of the bloggers Holy Grail ;->
What a wonderful exchange. Bartering at its best!
Small business owners don’t always have a lot of capital to pay for services like social media, and being flexible can open doors to greater opportunities!
Sounds like a win – win situation!! Cheers:)
