For you to gain more customers, you would typically hire additional sales people, advertise, reduce prices or offer incentives. By accepting an alternative method of payment i.e. Bartercard trade dollars, you open up your business to a whole new market of customers and in turn gain a competitive advantage. The new customers you’ll receive from Bartercard will be motivated to buy from you. This directly results in increasing your sales opportunities.
Bartercard enables you to increase your sales, and in turn, you are able to spend the trade dollars you earn, to purchase products and services for your business and lifestyle. Effectively, you are offsetting some of your cash expenses by using your trade dollars instead, therefore saving your cash.
Since Bartercard is a membership-based community there are many local and national networking events that are designed to provide introductions. Via new contacts, business is constantly being conducted through the trade exchange, and additional new cash referral business is reciprocated as a result of new relationships.
In this edition of District32’s Business Prophet Magazine, we feature our new CEO, Andrew Federowsky.
In the cash economy, in order to sell excess stock, a business will typically apply a discount, run dealer promotions or write off excess stock.
Through Bartercard, business owners are able to sell excess inventory at the normal selling price negating the need to reduce precious profit margins.

Whether it’s treating themselves to a well-deserved vacation or a leisurely weekend getaway or splurging on dining experiences, clothing, entertainment, hobby gear, gym memberships, massages, or home furnishings, each expenditure contributes to an enriched lifestyle.
