There is a clever business tool that is assisting many business owners and it is Bartercard.

For decades, thousands of Bartercard members around the world have been using Bartercard as a valuable trading partner to help them tick many items off their business-building wish list.

Here are just some of the ways you can put Bartercard to work in your business.

Convert your under-utilised trading capacity

Bartercard is a great way to ‘top up’ your trade in quiet times. You can use the Bartercard network to keep your business running at a higher capacity during those quieter trading periods and you control the days and times and how much extra business you can handle.

Opening your doors to new Bartercard customers enables you to convert your downtime and spare capacity into revenue. Clever members quickly learn how to manage the Bartercard side of their business to ensure they are never quiet, and spare capacity is being utilised.

Move excess inventory or slow-moving stock

There are many ways to sell your excess stock or slow-moving inventory. You can use Bartercard’s online marketplace to sell a one-off item or move multiple products.

The benefit of selling through Bartercard is you do not need to discount as members are happy to pay full price when using their trade dollars. Selling your excess stock gives you trade dollars to spend in other areas of your business which frees up your cash. Having more cash is a big bonus to any business!

Increase your income by attracting new customers

Bartercard aims to increase your business by 10 to 15% and increase your net cash profit. That figure in entirely dependent on you. Some members use Bartercard to slowly increase their business while others have the capacity and the desire to bring in much more trade business.

Bartercard customers are over and above your existing cash customers and trade dollars are a supplement (not a replacement) to your cash-paying business.

Grow your business with an advance on trade dollar sales

Bartercard offers members an advance on trade dollar sales. This means you can start investing in your business from the moment your membership is approved. You can keep the cash in your business by paying for goods and services with your trade dollars instead.  Some members have used their advance on trade dollar sales to much-needed equipment, upgrade your computer systems, build a new website, or invest in advertising to attract new customers.

Reward your staff…and yourself

There are many ways to treat your team using your trade dollars. You will find hundreds of great products and services through Bartercard to use as rewards or incentives such as dinners, gift cards, beauty treatments, or a car detail! You can also buy Trade Vouchers so your staff can decide where to spend their trade dollar gift.

Take your team out for a celebration at one of the many local Bartercard restaurants, or give everyone a bottle of wine to thank them for their great service at the end of a productive year.

You can treat yourself, your partner, or your family too with one of the many lifestyle products, services, or holiday destinations on offer.
