What isa barter collab?

A barter collab is a collaboration paid in something other than money: a meal, a stay, a treatment, a product. Both sides are trading, which is the part that gets forgotten when one of them treats it as a favour.

Barter is how most creator marketing outside the big brands actually runs, and it is fair when both sides value it honestly. A venue gives up real capacity and real stock. A creator gives up a day, their craft and a slot in a feed they spent years building. It goes wrong when either side treats it as a freebie.

On Claris

Every Claris collab states what is offered and what is owed back before anyone books, so the trade is explicit rather than assumed.
