5. Barter Increases
Sales
Metro Trade Exchange markets your company via our membership directory, regular emails,
monthly mailers and through referrals. Your company will secure incremental sales because
of the demand of the buyers looking for barter opportunities from within the trade
network.
Businesses trade so that they can purchase what they need or want, and pay for it with the
additional sales of their own product or service.
6. Barter Means New Cash
Sales
The number one source of
advertising for small
businesses is "word of
mouth." When you do a good
job for a MTE client, they'll
refer their cash-paying
friends, clients, family and
associates to you. Growing
your business will always be
tied directly to referrals from
your happy customers.
7. Barter Improves Cash
Flow
There are two main ways to increase cash
flow:
1)Increase Sales
2)Reduce Costs
Barter does both!
Barter allows you to pay for what you need
with what you have. When you re-roof your
building, surface your parking lot, paint your
offices or buy office furniture with Trade
Dollars, you can use your cash to cover
other important costs. When you purchase
something using Trade Dollars, it will be
paid for with new sales - sales that would
likely not have happened without MTE.
8. Barter Moves Excess
Inventory & Idle Production
Time
Every business owner struggles with the dilemma of what to do with extra
inventory or idle production/appointment time. That unscheduled appointment
today has no monetary value tomorrow. When you join, MTE provides you with
extra business to put that excess to use in profitable ways. We accomplish this
by matching your product or service with businesses looking to purchase them
on trade. It's a win-win situation.
9. Barter Provides A Competitive
Edge
Metro Trade Exchange
participants patronize your
establishment over the
competition because your
barter affiliation is an
incentive to do business with
you. Barter attracts new
customers to your business,
without affecting the existing
cash sales already being
generated by your company.
10. MTE Makes Record Keeping
Easy
In a sense, Metro Trade Exchange works much like a bank, providing control,
record keeping, and administration for your trade activities. Direct trading often
becomes cumbersome at record-keeping time. With MTE’s convenient
Electronic Banking System, there's no need to keep track of the dollars traded.
MTE uses advanced software to track all of your barter sales and purchases and
provides an easy-to-read itemized monthly statement. MTE will also send you a
1099 form in January for tax reporting.
11. Barter To Offer Employee
Incentives
You can provide a much
appreciated benefit to
employees without having to
pay cash for it. Barter is a great
way to offer contest prizes,
bonuses, wellness programs
and tickets - all accessible to
you without using cash and all
based on the incremental
business MTE has brought you.
13. Accepting barter can reduce unit
costs and open new outlets for
excess inventory or idle time. In fact,
unless a business has more work
than it can handle, barter is generally
a viable revenue stream.
Thousands of small businesses take
advantage of barter to gain a
competitive edge.
The opportunities abound in areas
that are vital to a small business such
as advertising, facility maintenance,
vehicle repair, printing, telephone
systems, legal and accounting
services, health care, travel and
entertainment.
