THE BARTER COMPANY: Barter is Smarter

Save cash, gain new customers, grow your business….

How Barter Works

The Barter Company (TBC) provides businesses with an alternative currency network by using barter dollars instead of cash to handle your transactions.

How does bartering work with an exchange?

The Barter Company (TBC) works to bring you new sales and increased market share, reduced inventory, and minimized cash outlay for everyday business expenses.

We provide you with an alternate distribution network by using barter dollars instead of cash to handle your transactions. You can charge retail value for goods and services in barter dollars instead of selling them for reduced cash rates or having them go unsold.

We act as a third-party records keeper, providing clients with monthly statements that reflect all barter purchases, sales and current barter dollar balance.

What Are The Benefits of Barter?

Barter Generates NEW Customers

This allows you to expand your market and maintain your cash-paying customers. This is incremental business-customers who bypass competing businesses to do business with you.

Barter Conserves Cash

Barter creates new customers because buyers are motivated to pay with their products or services and save cash. Simply put: if you had to make a purchase for $1000, would you rather write a check or pay with an equal amount of your product/service at its normal selling price to a new customer? Most businesses prefer to barter and conserve cash.

Barter Increases Profitability

Barter customers pay retail prices, so you get the full value of your goods and services.

Barter Moves Excess Inventory

Retailers must keep their inventory moving and our customers shop for the most current merchandise each season. The Barter Company will bring you buyers to move excess inventory, eliminating the advertising costs and heavy discounting otherwise needed to accomplish this.

Manufacturers/Wholesalers

Barter Coordinates The Selling Of Surplus Inventory: We negotiate for you to receive either the going price in the marketplace or your normal selling price to distributors. This allows you to maintain your current pricing integrity and upgrade your return on investment.

Networking Expands Your Customer Base

Barter customers will bring you all the cash referrals that your present clients bring. You will gain new cash paying-customers too-as long as you give your barter customers the same great services and pricing you offer everyone else.

Increase Productivity By Filling Downtime and Unused Capacity

Service Business

Increase billable hours! If you are not at 100% capacity 12 months a year and you can handle new customers, we can help you fill your free time with your business opportunities. And now you will have trade dollars to purchase what you need.

Hotels

Suppose you have 10 vacant rooms at $100 a night and you need a new brochure for $1000. Barter provides a way for you to buy your brochure, fill your rooms (at your cost), and maintain your cash income.

Manufacturers

If you are currently operating at 90% capacity, going to 93% changes very little in the cost of production. Wouldn’t it make sense to take on a new barter customer to cover the cost of next year’s product catalog?
