1. Why Join A Barter Exchange?
As a business person, you probably created a trading situation at some
time. You traded your product for someone else’s service. You needed
what the other business had and the other business wanted what you
had. And it worked out.
But what happens when you want what the other guy has,
but he does not want what you have?
Or Worse…. You give the other guy your services on trade, and he
never makes good on his IOU to you….
A Barter Exchange solves these issues. When your business needs
something, and you want to conserve your cash and pay with YOUR
goods and services, a barter exchange makes it happen.
First, you will be selling your goods and services to Exchange members
and receiving Trade Dollars. Being a member of an Exchange will bring
you new business from Exchange members- New customers.
Then, simply use Trade Dollars as a CURRENCY to get the goods or
services your business needs WITHOUT SPENDING CASH, with other
member businesses. It’s that simple…

2. ABOUT BARTERING
Many smart business owners are already bartering on their own to
conserve their cash and get the things they need. They recognize the
value of bartering because they know their profit margin will be
minimally affected.
Bartering with an organized, professional exchange, such as the
Montana Trade Exchange, offers the business owner access to goods
and services he would normally not have access to, such as restaurants,
gifts, sporting equipment, art, plumbing services, spa services, dental
services, optometry services, legal services, construction services, and
much more. Setting up separate deals to barter with these companies
on your own would be very difficult and time consuming.
Montana Trade Exchange has already done the leg work. Simply look in
our member directory, which is available online to members, find the
desired company, and place a call. Each time a member makes a barter
purchase, Montana Trade Exchange debits the buyer's account and
credits the seller's account with Trade Dollars, similar to an ordinary
bank account.

3. Why Barter?
Barter is booming, a rebirth of the most ancient way of doing business.
Barter saves cash and reduces business overhead. Buy just about
anything with your barter dollars. Print or design a flyer, build a web
site, get business cards, have your carpets cleaned, get your painting,
plumbing, accounting services, legal services, advertising and much,
much more paid for in barter dollars! How many of these things are
you now paying cash for?
Enhance your life with barter dollars. Use them to pay for vacations,
stay at fine resorts, or take a cruise. You can spend barter dollars to
eat out, go to shows and buy gifts.
Increase business with barter. See new customers, sell your excess
inventory, and reduce your down time in a service business.

4. How will Barter be Profitable to my Business?
Barter will prove profitable to your business if:
• You are not operating at full capacity
• You are ready to expand
• You want to reduce cash expenses
• You have excess inventory
• You have changed product lines and want to clear out
discontinued items
Join an Exchange vs. Bartering One-to-one
By trading one-on-one with another business your bartering power is
extremely limited by the simple fact that you must take what the other
business has to offer, and track your trade credits with each partner.
By joining Montana Trade Exchange you are eligible to barter with
thousands of other members who have a wide variety of goods and
services from which to choose. Your Trade Dollar is worth a dollar with
any member business, and gives you the freedom to purchase any item
or service available in network, greatly expanding your buying power!
