Many businesses around Australia are already experiencing a large downturn in customers. This is the time to maximise the Bartercard membership. It is important to fill the idle capacity to keep the business running. It also important to maximise the trade dollar spending to keep as much cash in the business as possible. Bartercard account managers can help business understand how to make use of these opportunities.

Stuart Evans of Evanco Mechanical joined Bartercard in 2014. “Since joining, we’ve seen our business grow – it’s brought us an additional 10-15% customer base which we just wouldn’t have had if it wasn’t for Bartercard. Our bottom line has increased by up to 20% and we save around $500 cash per month! Being a part of the network also allows me to cash convert as I’m able to purchase workshop products using our trade dollars which I can then sell on through cash. A great example of this is when I’ve been able to buy oil products – $10,000 worth – saving the business roughly $7,000 in cash! I also use trade dollars,” he says.

Upon joining, the business is listed in the member directory where other businesses can look and trade with them. Bartercard records all transactions on a statement. By accepting an alternative method of payment i.e. Bartercard, it opens a whole new market of customers and in turn gain a competitive advantage.
