    Hi

    Just curious to find out if there are any publications out there that would allow a company advertise for free in return for complimentary use of another companies services?

    For example, if a golf club were to offer complementary rounds of golf, would a publisher give free advertising in return?

    It would be an interesting marketing tool and one that could be applied across many different fields

    There are a couple of companies in Ireland that act as a broker for this type of bartering, a quick google should find them.

    a lot of publications do this, particularly locals for vouchers etc.

    You might be able to trade ad space for services throught this company:

    what some publishers are getting into (as the have space capacity) is not exactly a contra. They give space to companies to sell products or services and then any sales that come through that ad, the publisher clips the ticket for (say) 15%-25% of the sale.

    If the publisher has the space, then €1 of commission is better than none.

    I will contact you in next day or so. I am not sure our markets are exact fit for each other, but no harm in talking. Thanks.
