On trade

I really think they had it right in the old days. Everyone had their trade and they bartered for services. I just love the concept. So if you didn't know already, I am all about doing things on trade. If you have what I want, and I have what you want, let's trade! Right now I am taking names of people who would like to be on trade with Banks Photography for 2010. Here are a couple of disclaimers about trading:

1. I only trade with people who have services I want or need so don't be upset if I don't trade with you.
2. I will negotiate the trade with you before services/products are traded. Most of the time we do a dollar for dollar trade.
3. Here are some things we have traded for in the past and will in the future

dance lessons
tennis lessons
hair cuts/color
gift cards or discounts from retail stores
carpet/window cleaning
house cleaning
cakes

4. Here are some things that we would love to add to our on trade list

professional landscaping
contractor/builder
interior designer
furniture
mechanic
massage therapist
professional organizer (thanks Lara for that suggestion!)

So if you have something we might want or know someone that might, shoot us an email and offer a trade!
