Unbelievable Advertising Rates at the Lyric!
At Northern Colorado Community Barter, we are all about providing value to our member businesses and partner charities. One way to deliver that value is through local advertisers.
Northern Colorado Community Barter has partnered with the Lyric Cinema Cafe to offer an incredible monthly rate to member businesses and partner charities.
Could your business or charity benefit from increased local exposure?
The Lyric big screen may be the perfect place for you to promote it. You can run a billboard style ad or a thirty second to one minute long video commercial. Your ads will show up to eight times a day for an entire month.
Northern Colorado Community Barter business members and charity partners get an unbelievable 34% off the regular price for the package. Not only that, you can pay for most of it with a couple half ounce barter tokens!
To take advantage of the Lyric Advertising Special, contact Ben Mozer at the Lyric Cinema Cafe.

Value of barter tokens has doubled!
Those of you paying attention to the precious metals market know that the bulk price of silver has climbed to 31 year record highs just in the past few weeks. How does this meteoric price increase affect your participation in Northern Colorado Community Barter?
We understand that no business owner or customer wants to have to pay attention to the ever fluctuating spot price of silver, and you don’t. The only thing to remember is that the value of the barter token in the Northern Colorado Community Barter network just doubled. The tokens that say twenty-five will now trade for fifty instead.
This moveup will become official once the 30 day moving average of silver has been at or above $41.50 for 60 days. At this point, all half ounce barter tokens produced will actually say “fifty” instead of “twenty-five” on the back. When I saw that at least one of our participating businesses, Go West T-shirt Company, already values the token at fifty, I decided to go ahead and declare the value to be fifty throughout the network. This allows us to gracefully handle the increased cost of purchasing the tokens from our supplier while still offering a discount to our customers and a donation to designated charities.
Business owners, please begin to offer your products in exchange for the barter tokens at a value of fifty even though they will continue to say “twenty-five” for several more months. Just double the face value you see until you start seeing the same size token with the new value. The good news is that all the tokens you accepted at twenty-five have just doubled in value–an added bonus for getting in early!
Customers, you can now purchase the half ounce barter tokens for $33.25. This represents much more than a ten percent discount from the new value of fifty. This price will remain effective until the moveup to the new face value becomes official in a few months. This is a great time to purchase your barter tokens. We now have two partner charities you can choose to support through your purchase.
Are you concerned about having to spend an equivalent of $50.00 all in one place?
Northern Colorado Community Barter is about to introduce a new barter token. It will be a 1/10 ounce of silver with a value of ten in the network. Businesses will soon be able to purchase some of these tokens to use to make change, allowing their customers to spend in increments of ten rather than all fifty at once. Businesses can also offer products in exchange for the tenth ounce token. These tokens will be available to purchase from Copoco’s Honey in a couple weeks.
