Service Professionals

When a business depends on billable hours for profits, every unfilled slot on their appointment calendar represents lost revenue that will never be replaced. Bartering offers these types of businesses the opportunity to:

• Turn those open appointments into new customers
• Get a steady stream of new clients
• Build up your list of happy customers
• Receive referrals from customers we bring them
• Use our customers as reference sites for more work

Hotels / Motels / Backpackers / Accommodation Providers

Every night forty percent of the hotel rooms across the country are empty, however, these businesses fixed costs stay the same regardless whether those rooms are vacant or not.

• Selling empty rooms online using barter makes good sense.

• Sell previously unsold rooms at full price

Liquidation Stock

Every year a large amount of businesses find themselves with end of line or last seasons stock, incorrectly packaged or returned products and “new” items which did not sell as well as they initially thought they would.

Instead of discounting this surplus capacity, a barter exchange offers its members a way to receive full market value:

• No cost to list
• Sell at full price
• Sellers get paid immediately
• Online quotes or fixed-price offers
• Offers can be limited by date and quantity
• Participants only have to accept the customers they want
• Customers are attracted away from the competition
• New and trial products have a greater market-reach and, if unsuccessful, they do not cause brand impact – something which could have potentially affected the cash-paying customers
• Businesses receive word-of-mouth referrals

Unsold appointment time, empty hotel rooms, unsold venue passes, unfilled advertising space, rapidly depreciating stock, idle production time, vacant seats, end-of-line items and oversupplied products are known as “dead capital” and there is approximately 9.3 trillion dollars of it world-wide.

Barter Provides a Competitive Edge

Business owners in a barter exchange will patronize other members businesses over competition because the barter affiliation is an incentive to do business.  Barter also attracts new customers to a business, without affecting the existing cash sales already being generated by the company.

Barter Increases Sales

A barter exchange markets its members to hundreds of local businesses and thousands nationally — all potential customers, incremental business over and above the daily cash-paying customers. Businesses barter to purchase what they need or want, and pay for them with the additional sales of their products or services.

Barter Improves Cash Flow

There are two main ways of to increase cash flow – additional sales and reduced costs. Barter does both! Barter allows business owners for what you need with what they have – allowing them to preserve working capital for other needs. When a business uses barter instead of cash to purchase needed products and services, they reduce their cash costs by paying for them with revenue generated by incremental barter sales. When they purchase something using their barter exchange trade dollars, the payment is made with new sales … sales that probably would not have happened without the barter exchange affiliation.

Barter Moves Excess Inventory & Fills Idle Production Time

Every business owner struggles with the dilemma of what to do with extra inventory or idle production time. Barter provides a tool to put that excess to use in profitable ways. The barter exchange accomplishes this objective by matching sellers products or services with businesses looking to purchase them on trade. It’s a win-win situation.

Barter Means New Cash Sales

That’s not a misprint – yes, cash sales. Every business owner knows the key to success is referrals. If they perform a good job for a client of they serviced though the barter exchange – they’ll undoubtedly refer their cash-paying friends, clients, family and associates.

Barter Means Increased Profits

Sellers within in a barter network make incremental barter sales (over and above their cash business) and increased sales mean increased profits.

Barter Makes Record-Keeping Easy

The barter exchange works much like a bank, providing control, record keeping, and administration for member’s barter transactions. Direct-trading between businesses, often becomes cumbersome at record-keeping time. With a barter exchange’s convenient clearinghouse concept, there’s no need to keep track of the dollars traded. The barter exchange uses state-of-the-art technology to track all of its member’s barter sales and purchases with an easy-to-read itemized monthly statement. Plus, a member website is available to service their barter needs 24/7.

Barter Eliminates Bad Debts

Barter takes the hassle out of collections. When a member makes a barter sale to another client within the barter exchange, transactions are settled instantly.

Barter Creates Wholesale Buying Power

With barter, the real cost of the products members purchase on trade is actually the wholesale cost of the trade dollars earned. Making sales with built-in profits makes the cost of the purchases more economical on trade. When businesses join a barter exchange, they open the door to a new, cash-free way of handling every day business and personal expenses.
