Barter and trade is a way to swap items or services. Barter trade is a time-honored method to get the things that you need to live. Today the barter trade system is still used successfully to get things you want. The system helps people get rid of what they don’t want or need in exchange for things they want instead.
Barter trade originated centuries ago, before money was created. Barter trade helps you use things you have to swap for things you want instead. Years ago people used trade to get food and clothing they needed for their survival. Merchants and explorers used the barter system to trade for new and interesting items.
Barter trade was originally born from necessity. People needed certain things to live. They could effectively trade what they had in excess for the things they needed. The barter trade system doesn’t rely necessarily on money. Instead it uses the value that both people place on the items or work in order to set up a trade that is fair to both parties. It can be done effectively with both products and services.
The best trades are those that make all parties feel fulfilled. Today the barter trade system is still used and is thriving thanks to the availability of Tradia. Tradia’s online trading allows you access to a much larger audience than ever before and transcends city, state and even country boundaries. You can find someone who is interested in trading for your item or service more easily than ever before. Tradia is the only online trade / barter network that has staff to keep the network updated and post new offers and even email trade directly to your inbox if you neet it.
There are many things that can be used to trade. For example, people can trade items that they have which they no longer need or use. The best items are those that are new or in nearly new condition. Anything of any value can be traded. You can trade small items that are not worth too much or you can trade larger more expensive items such as cars or boats. If you have items you’ve received as gifts but have never used you can trade them for something you want instead.
Barter trade is used today in much the same way as it has been used for centuries. Both people need to agree on the fact that they feel they are getting a good trade. The best trades are those that leave both people feeling good about the transaction. The trade system leaves the value up to the two parties. Unlike shopping in a regular store the trade system lets the parties set the approximate value of the items based on what they are willing to trade. What you trade for one day can vary for the same item the next because it is a subjective form of value assignment.
Barter trade is a fun and interesting way to get the things you want while getting rid of the things you no longer need or want. When bartering it’s important to be fair and honest about the condition of the items you are trading. Honesty becomes particularly important when trading is done online where the parties can’t touch the items or view them close up.
WHY DO PEOPLE BARTER?
Pretend that I just delivered $1000.00 worth of printing to you and that you are about to pay me. Would you rather write me a check for the printing or trade me something of equal value? The answer is obvious. If you trade me something of equal value, you keep your hard earned cash in your pocket and move more inventory at the same time. You get a new customer, save money, move excess inventory and we both win. Tradia offers you a Cooperative Barter System through which you can trade what you have to a Tradia member and bank the Tradia Dollars. When you are ready to spend your Tradia Dollars, you may do so with any active Tradia member within our growing, national network by writing a Tradia Draft to them, just like your checking account. You don’t have to trade directly with anyone, as was the case in ancient times. Trade what you have, bank the Tradia Dollars and buy what you want within the Tradia Exchange System without using green money.
THREE EXAMPLES FOR YOU TO CONSIDER:
A northwest hotel chain with 55 locations had major cash-flow problems and was unable to maintain an advertising budget. With all their competition they needed to advertise but simply could not afford the expense. Their occupancy rate was about 60% with approximately 4600 rooms in the chain. An exchange of accommodations for advertising was the PERFECT solution and a contract was initiated with Tradia. The hotel chain traded room nights for 1.2 million dollars worth of advertising and within 6 months increased their occupancy rate by almost 18%. This was all accomplished without the use of cash.
A small copier and fax machine sales company used the trade system to pay for dining expenses; obtained printed color brochures, sales contest items and a radio advertising campaign that increased their market share. All of this was done without the use of cash and significantly increased their annual sales volume.
A car dealer is able to pull in new customers and re-surface his entire parking lot and add an addition to his house all without the use of hard earned cash. He takes his wife out to dinner and uses Tradia to pay the bill. His wife joins a health club and gets her manicures using the same account. The Tradia account has enhanced the quality of their lives and brought in more business. Finally, these new customers are the best source of more cash customers, and all because of a Tradia Business Account.
