Five Basic
Keys to a Successful LETS...
1. Stay Local - there is
much more trading where members are geographically
close, and abuse is easily prevented.
2. A Solid Core Group - to organise a LETS
you need a variety of skills, don't try to run a scheme
alone. See the list of Management Group jobs, which help
to ensure your scheme runs effectively and sustainably.
3. Be Efficient - keep accurate records,
ensure the directory, newsletter and accounts are
published regularly.
4. Keep People In Touch - exchange depends
on friendly relationships and people meeting one
another. Organise regular social and trading events.
5. A Broad Cross-Section - attract a good
cross-section of the community, as reciprocal exchange
is more likely if people have widely different skills
and interests. |
