Thanks for your interest in SmartBarter, the UK's latest online trading directory.
A few of you have asked about the name. Why SmartBarter? It's simple, as Stage 2 of our development plan we intend to add a barter component to the site. Advertisers will be able to barter with one another for goods and services if they like.
It's a little added bonus for our advertisers to give them even more value for money!
We intend to have the barter functionality by the Summer of 2008; meanwhile, if you are interested in barter there are some links below which make interesting reading.
