As we ready ourselves for another challenging year in business, Ask Bartercard have put forward some great ideas as to how Bartercard can be a useful business tool, and the benefits being a member can bring to your business. Attracting new customers is one of the main reasons why thousands of business owners are choosing to join Bartercard each year, as it opens up a whole new market of buyers who are motivated to spend their trade dollars and offset their cash expenses.
Bartercard guarantee extra sales through their community of tens of thousands of cardholders worldwide, and on average, members can expect a 10% increase in customers with Bartercard, which can also lead to extra customers in the cash economy through word-of-mouth recommendations. If service is great, people will tell their friends and family about it whether they are in Bartercard or not!
So, rather than heavily discounting prices and running the risk of devaluing your product or service, why not think about joining Bartercard to attract new customers through a unique market of buyers and sellers. Bartercard adds another dimension to your business by giving you the freedom to accept trade dollars to attract new customers and increase your sales. You then use this additional income, as well as your advance on trade dollar sales, to reduce your cash expenses, allowing you to save your valuable cash flow for other investments.
You may not know that each time you buy with Bartercard you are effectively spending with your excess product or service. Therefore, you buy at a discount based on your profit margin. For instance if it cost you 35c in the dollar to produce your products or services, then for every $100 trade you spend it really only costs you $35. So, you are in fact buying at a 65% discount.
The spending opportunities are vast and you can choose from services across almost every type of industry. This even includes 500 direct contact listings, 300 accommodation packages and 150 gift certificate options domestically and world-wide (when the borders open!) so for more information on Bartercard members, how does Bartercard work and how to get more customers please go to http://www.bartercard.co.nz .
