The barter system is one of the oldest forms of commerce. Before money even existed, people traded goods and services with one another to make ends meet.
The trick is having a confluence of wants, where both parties want or need something, and each party is able to fulfill those wants and needs mutually. However, this can be easier said than done, which is where a bartering network comes in.
A bartering network can help introduce aligned businesses, manage relationships, and help to moderate the value of goods and services to best match up potential bartering partners so that everyone benefits.
Here are several reasons why joining a bartering collective will be a valuable commerce option for your business.
Cash
You will save cash when you barter because you can acquire goods and services without having to spend any actual money. This is possible because you can use the value of some of your own goods and services to trade off against something you want.
Essentially, you can trade what you have for what you want without spending any real money. This can significantly protect your cash flow.
Customers
You can get new customers on a barter network. Attracting new customers is always one of the hardest things about running a business. However, once you join a barter network, you immediately have access to thousands of other companies that are also in the network and who might want what you’re selling.
This immediate exposure on its own is significant. However, at Barter Network, we will assist you with building up a network and recommending you for trades. A trade broker will be assigned and act as an agent for you, growing your customer base and constantly bringing you business.
Sales
Barter Network will help you boost your sales while saving you cash. In the accounting world, barter sales are recorded the same as cash sales, which means that your sales numbers will go up as you trade.
At Barter Network, we can help you keep track by providing record-keeping capabilities and various kinds of support so that your sales are accounted for accurately.
