What if you could gain access to one of the largest business-to-business networks in the world, find a way to get rid of surplus stock and earn some more cash to invest in your business? With Bartercard you can, and you can also enjoy the range of enviable benefits that are available to members, including networking opportunities, interest free line of credit and more customers! How Bartercard works Bartercard works by connecting businesses and enabling them to exchange their products and services through a system of trade dollars as an alternative to cash. The traditional ‘barter-trading’ system of exchanging goods and services has been around since biblical times but Bartercard takes this one step further by allowing businesses the flexibility of barter-trading not just one on one but with thousands of businesses, locally and internationally. Given the recent challenges to the global economy, more businesses are looking for alternatives to cash and Bartercard can give you a simple, flexible and stress-free way to exchange and pay for goods and services. Cashflow issues don’t need to strangle your business and you can free up cash to make better use of it elsewhere. Sell surplus stock If you have surplus stock that is going to waste, why not sell it on Bartercard? By barter-trading your excess products or services you can earn trade dollars, which can then be spent on growing your business, marketing, purchasing staff incentives or paying for services. Turning your surplus stock into trade dollars reduces wastage and helps you to gain value on items that may be rapidly depreciating. Pay business expenses with Bartercard The beauty of Bartercard is that you can then use your trade dollars to directly pay for business expenses including accounting, IT support, marketing, internet marketing services, legal, vehicle maintenance and even tradespeople. Many businesses get creative and use their trade dollars to purchase gifts to use for special offers or customer loyalty programs, reward their staff with tickets to events, or purchase Christmas gifts for staff and clients. When you use Bartercard there are endless opportunities to reduce your cash expenses and improve your business and lifestyle. You can even use Bartercard dollars to generate cash customers by using your trade dollars to advertise your business and by reselling items purchased with trade dollars. If you have excess stock you want to move or business downtime that you would like to fill, why not make use of it? By joining Bartercard’s extensive network of members you can use trade dollars to get the best out of your business and help achieve growth.
