The Tradebank Atlanta Trade Expo will be held Tuesday, November 11, 2008 from 1 to 8 pm in Building B at the Gwinnett County Fairgrounds, 2405 Sugarloaf Parkway in Lawrenceville, Georgia. Modeled after a traditional Main Street USA environment, Building B, provides a private site and entrance away from the other fairground facilities, plenty of space to accommodate over 100 exhibitors, food and entertainment. Further, Tradebank exhibitors and shoppers alike will be pleased with the drive up ease of unloading and loading and convenient parking this venue provides. Tradebank’s Atlanta Trade Expo provides a tremendous opportunity for you to meet, sell to and buy from Tradebank clients from regions outside your own market. Space will fill fast, so exhibitors are encouraged to reserve their space today. In addition, Tradebank clients and their guests are invited to attend this once a year opportunity to use trade dollars to shop, network, and expand your understanding of the full benefits Tradebank has to offer at this one day event. If you attended the Expo in Atlanta last year you will recall that booths overflowed into the aisles with products and shoppers as Tradebank clients sold and purchased an extensive array of jewelry, art, four- wheelers, clothing, gift baskets, candy, leather goods, hunting and sporting goods, computer equipment, electronics, health and beauty products, gourmet food, holiday items and many other goods. Joe Price, owner of Priceless Pens, traveled from Tennessee to sell his custom made exotic wood pen and pencil sets and holiday fudge. After the Trade Expo, he commented, “We’ve been to and participated in many trade shows across the country and this event was the best. The attractive venue, the variety and quality of the products being sold and the warmth of people made us happy to be included. Participation proved very profitable for us. We look forward to having a booth in next year’s Expo.” For more information regarding exhibiting in and attending the 2008 Tradebank Atlanta Trade Expo visit www.tradebank.com, email [email protected] or call 678-533-7118. The Trade Street Journal • 3 0810:2008 9/30/08 2:01 AM Page 9 Tradebank of Chattanooga by: Brenda Jameson Tradebank of Chattanooga has been operating in Chattanooga for 13 years. The franchise, which consists of 22 counties in the Chattanooga metropolitan market, has been owned and operated for the past twelve years by Jurgen Mootz. Mootz, born in Germany and raised in Venezuela, came to Louisiana State University at the age of 16. He graduated with degrees in Electrical Engineering and Business Management. Mootz eventually became partner in the Loft Restaurant and later ran several restaurants and catering businesses before purchasing the Tradebank franchise in 1996. Since then the franchise has grown to include over 400 active clients who traded millions of dollars worth of goods and services last year. For seven years prior to Labor Day of 2007, the office was located at the corner of Ringgold and Germantown in East Ridge. Mootz had been exploring the idea of owning his own location for several years. When the facility at 3835 Hixon Pike in Chattanooga, owned by Tradebank client Won Chu (Chu’s Martial arts and Golden Eyewear) became available, he took the opportunity and purchased the building. In addition to paying a portion of the price of the building using Tradebank trade dollars, Mootz was also able to complete much of his remodeling project and upgrades using trade. The Trade Street Journal • 4 L:R Jurgen Mootz, Franchise Owner, Neal Crutchfield, Sales and Marketing, Alicyne Roth, Senior Trade Broker, Lori Carter, Trade Broker In additon to Mootz and his wife, Robin, Tradebank of Chattanooga’s staff is comprised of several talented individuals who work diligently to serve the trading needs of the Chattanooga business community. Alicyne Roth, Senior Trade Broker, has been with Tradebank since 2001. She, along with Lori Carter, Tradebank of Chattanooga’s newest Trade Broker, can frequently be found working late on Friday evenings to ensure that out-of-town guests have last minute accommodation requests confirmed and have a current Travel Guide. Roth says, “We want to make sure Tradebank clients have a great stay in the Scenic Center of the South, and use their trade dollars to save their hard earned cash. Customer service is what we pride ourselves on.” For the past seven years Tradebank of Chattanooga has hosted an annual Christmas Tradeshow and Auction. The 2007 show had over 57 vendors displaying merchandise ranging from jewelry and gemstones to fine art. The show’s oneday/10 hour event saw more sales volume per hour than previous twoday events.

Yaffe National Trade/Training Director Gratuities Like many things in life, the rules for what is a suitable gratuity have evolved. Who, when and how much to tip varies from industry to industry. However, the bottom line is, appropriate and even generous tipping is important and will avoid embarrassment on the part of the one receiving the services and ill will on the part of the service provider. Being known as a “cheapskate” is not a good thing. If you have a concern about the quality of the service, speak to the manager. The old-fashioned practice of leaving a penny is no longer acceptable. Furthermore, when you are dealing with other Tradebank clients your tipping manners become crucial. The tipping practices of Tradebank clients influence whether or not the service providers and business owners welcome Tradebank clients or not. Gratuities are to be paid in cash and paid when purchasing trade services in hair salons and spas, delivery and limousine services, car detailing, in the hotel and of course, restaurants and other industries when tipping is customary. Tradebank has a cash gratuity policy with a minimum of 18% to be paid on the total bill in restaurants. This prompts me to elaborate on two important components of that statement. First, I emphasize the word “minimum”. We encourage you to use the generosity of your gratuity to acknowledge the service you received as well as to show how much you value that business being part of Tradebank. Second, the term “restaurant” has a broad interpretation nowa-days. In the context of Tradebank’s gratuity policy, the term restaurant applies to a sit down situation where your food is served to you. Sometimes questions arise as to what is an appropriate gratuity in a carryout situation, buffet setting, fast food or coffee house business. Here is my answer: Better to leave a tip or even over tip, than risk insulting someone or embarrassing yourself. A few extra dollars can mean a lot toward achieving overall goodwill. You can also ask the proprietor of the establishment what is customary. Like most clients, restaurants join Tradebank to attract new customers. A busy restaurant means the restaurateurs can attract and retain quality servers by providing them with the opportunity to have increased wages from the additional new business/gratuities Tradebank customers provide. No matter what the service being provided, I encourage you to be recognized and welcomed “as the generous tipper from Tradebank”. Marcy S. Yaffe is the National Trade/Training Director of Tradebank International. She has over 24 years experience brokering barter transactions. Contact [email protected] or 888.568.5680 ext 118. The Trade Street Journal • 5 0810:2008 9/30/08 2:01 AM Page 5 Pearle Vision by: Brenda Jameson 1n 1989, Aaron Wilson, A.B.O.M and Master Optician, then a student at Floyd College in Rome, Ga., began working for Pearle Vision. He was low-man on the totum pole and made $4.50 an hour. Although he was working toward a business degree, he learned that he could also gain Optician State Licensure if he apprenticed and passed the same board practical exams as an Ophthalmic Optics graduate. He began studying, and in 1991 became one of the youngest Opticians licensed in the state of Georgia. He would go on to earn a Masters in Opthalmic Optics, an honor bestowed upon fewer than 400 Opticians in America. Some time later, Wilson had the opportunity to meet and spend time with Dr. Pearle, founder of Pearle Vision. Afterwards Dr. Pearle wrote a note that Wilson keeps even to this day. It reads, Son, someday I think you'll have your own store". Little did Wilson know that only four short years later Dr. Pearle's words would become true when he purchased the Pearle Vision Franchise in Cleveland, TN in May of 1997. He was excited and hopeful, and a little frightened, although time would prove he had nothing to worry about. Three months later, a marketing representative called to ask how he had doubled his business so quickly. In the last 11 years Wilson’s store has earned three Golden Spectacle awards, a national honor for have a top performing store. At present, Pearle Vision Cleveland is number one in several of the criteria involving satisfaction. Pearle Vision is a full service optical store, with eye exams available from The Trade Street Journal • 6 Dr. Robert Patterson. Dr. Patterson is a graduate of the Citidel, and Wilson says, “one of the finest Optometrists I've ever known”. Dr. Patterson is also a member of Tradebank and boasts some new technology in eye exams called Retinal Imaging. This technology allows the doctor to snap a special picture of the eye that gives him more information than he was able to gain in the past. It also means no dilation. Pearle Vision also has just outfitted it's in-store optical lab with a half a million dollars in state-ofthe-art computer molding lens technology. Using cutting-edge technology, Pearle can now turn out the best lenses that money can buy. In many cases, they can have them ready the afternoon of the exam. Pearle Vision is a one stop shop, meaning you can get your eyes examined, get color-contacts, choose a trendy pair of Nicole Miller's or BeBe's, grab a pair of Columbia sunglasses with your prescription, as well as getting custom made computer glasses. Wilson became a Tradebank client about five years ago, and says, “I’ve had a wonderful time with it. Tradebank allows me to market to a region, instead of just a city. Each time a Tradebank client comes in, I try to meet them and find out what business they are in because nearly every Tradebank client is a business owner!” Wilson goes on to say, “With the slight downturn in the economy, some are concerned about the future. We just smile every time a Tradebank client comes in from out of town because we know we are able to service folks that would not normally come to Cleveland to see us. With their buisness we can continue to buy necessities for the business, enjoy some pretty nifty vacations, and splurge on luxuries we might not normally buy.” Pearle Vision Cleveland does a brisk business with Tradebank, shipping prescription eyewear and contact lenses nationwide. If you are interested call the store at 423.476.2217 and Pearle Vision’s friendly staff of Opticians will walk you through the purchase process. 0810:2008 9/30/08 2:01 AM Page 4 Tradebank Moves Mountains Lori Carter has been trading for most of her life and has been a Tradebank client for over 20 years with various businesses. Now she is a Trade Broker in the Chattanooga office. One of Carter's notable trade transactions occurred recently when Tradebank client Rodger McDaniel of Buckeye Meats knew his friends needed a vacation and made reservations for them, using his trade dollars, at Carter's MountainStar Inn B & B in Lookout Mountain, Georgia. The guests fell in love with the property and made Carter and her partner, Daryl Mathis, an offer to purchase the B & B that they simply couldn't refuse. Carter and her partner are now in a position to combine the revenue from the sale with their existing trade dollars to purchase an even larger property and fulfill a life long dream of owning and renting several properties in the scenic Lookout Mountain area, which of course they will offer through Tradebank. Mathis, who is also a wood artist, welcomes Tradebank clients to commission work from him for custom wood pieces. Carter offers her appraisal and estate liquidation services on trade as well. Carter and Mathis can be reached at 423.290.2082. Inn B & B also own a mortgage company and are joining Tradebank as a result of their vicarious trading experiences through McDaniel and Carter. The purchasers of Carter's Mountain Star The Plaque Shack Everyone has a story and Shane Hendrix is no different. He was only 18 years of age, working at a local rubber stamp shop, when he learned to engrave. Seeing a potential business opportunity, he convinced the owner to let him rent the equpment at night to produce trophies and plaques. Twenty one years later he, along with his mother, Brenda Hendrix, owns and operate The Plaque Shack, one of the premier trophy, award and sign shops in the nation. Using traditional engraving, laser engraving and all types of material marking including metal and plastic, The Plaque Shack produces awards, plaques, trophies, medals, gifts, name tags and more. Hendrix believes the element of success that sets them apart from others is the feeling of accomplishment and pride that comes from knowing they are helping to honor a veteran or make 500 little league ball players happy. He is personally invested in his product. Hendrix ships products nationwide. Tradebank clients can contact the Plaque Shack at 1.800.206.4099 or visit their websites located at www.awardcountry.com or www.nametagcountry.com.

Priceless Pens When Joseph Price retired five years ago he was looking for something to keep him busy. A friend was working with a wood lathe and the idea intrigued Price. After a brief learning curve, Price perfected the art of making pens, pencils and fountain pens from exotic woods from around the world. In 2006 Priceless Pens had grown and was stable enough to expand their marketing efforts and Price joined Tradebank. “Within 90 days I had all of my investment back, and much more than that amount in my Trade account. I was selling to a large number of new clients. Then I attended a Tradebank show in Chattanooga and sold more than I had ever expected and it was something that my wife and I enjoyed very much. My Tradebank account has continued to grow.”, explains Price. “Since we have joined Tradebank we have been very happy our trading success, the people we have met, and the fun we have had. Also, we have very much enjoyed spending our trade The Trade Street Journal • 12 dollars. Now we go out to eat a lot more, get our vehicles serviced and cleaned, get eye examinations and glasses for our family, and a lot of other services and products for our family. We are very impressed with all the positive things that have come our way since we have joined Tradebank.” Be sure to visit Price’s booth at both the Atlanta Trade Expo and the Chattanooga Trade Show.
