BENEFITS
Over 300,000 businesses in North America belong to barter organizations. Each year the commercial barter industry is responsible for over $7.5 billion in transactions.
7 Reasons you should barter:
1. You make more sales.
We introduce you to new customers. Your company is promoted in emails, newsletters, online, in the our members’ directory, at networking events, and by word-of-mouth. We take the time to learn about your business and are dedicated to generating new
customers for you.
2. You fill underutilized space.
If you operate a hotel or B&B, there may be times you are not filled to capacity. If you publish a newspaper or magazine, or produce a television or radio program, you may have unsold advertising space. We supply you with customers and convert extra space into
income.
3. You find new customers for your service based business.
We work with all types of business professionals and help them fill more of their billable hours. Idle time means the loss of potential revenue. We help fill your billable hours and convert your extra time into additional income.
4. You save money.
We show you how to trade your products or services and generate valuable barter dollars. You can stop spending cash and start using barter dollars to obtain thousands of goods and services.
5. You save time.
Your personal trade broker will not only work as your sales and marketing assistant, they will also assist you with all of your purchasing needs.
6. You get top dollar for your products.
If you have a manufacturing plant or retail outlet, you may have been faced with the task of liquidating excess inventory. In order to move inventory quickly, you may have resorted to discounting, which generates sales but decreases profit margins. Instead of discounting your merchandise, use First Canadian Barter Exchange to sell your products for full retail value.
7. You make more contacts.
Join us for a variety of networking events including our Annual Dinner Cruise, Golf Tournaments, Trade Shows, Open Houses, Business After Business Receptions and Themed Events, including our Health & Wellness Mixers and Media & Marketing Mixers.
