Why should your business subscribe to Bargain Barter?



There are a number of reasons why your business should subscribe to Bargain Barter so let’s have a look at some of them: - advertising@bargainbarter.com

1. New customers

Bargain Barter intends to become the first name a business thinks of when it comes to swapping their goods or services.  To achieve this, we are keen to enter into mutually beneficial partnerships with as many businesses as possible leading up to our launch.

It is good for your business because it creates a new trading opportunity with businesses that you are unlikely to have come across in the past. It enables you to swap some of your goods and services for other businesses’ goods and services without any cash changing hands. Furthermore, our swapping service is free of charge.

You will also be pleased to hear that we spend a considerable amount of money on advertising the service Bargain Barter provides resulting in new businesses joining us on a daily basis. This leads to an increase in swapping opportunities for you.

For those business customers that regularly post offers they will benefit by being prominently listed in our main website free of charge and can also have a banner advertising their business. Please e-mail us for further details.

Swapping is undoubtedly the most progressive way to conduct business but, although you may enter into a swapping deal, it may also lead to more conventional cash based trading arrangements with that same customer in the future thus increasing turnover and profits.

2. Cash flow unaffected

Swapping enables you to obtain new goods or services for free without any cash changing hands between the parties involved. Therefore, your business’s cash flow is unaffected and you do not have to waste your valuable time chasing debtors enabling you to concentrate on growing your business.

This makes swapping particularly attractive to new business start ups whose finances are often tight in the first few months of trading.

3. Dispose of unwanted stock

It is a great way to swap unwanted items of stock that have been taking up valuable space for some considerable time for stock that is more appropriate to the activities of your business. You will then be able to trade the new, replacement stock thus generating additional income for your business.  

4. Free to join

It costs you absolutely nothing to become a member of Bargain Barter and, we are sure you will agree, that, in itself, is a rarity these days. Also, because you are busy trying to run your own business, we keep form filling to a minimum so the simple joining process can be completed in a few short minutes.

5. Bartering established for centuries and growing

Bartering has been around for centuries and has grown rapidly to a point where about $12 billion worth of goods and services were bartered in 2011 with about 400,000 businesses participating. That gives you an indication of the size of this marketplace and it is forecast to grow by 5% to 10% per annum.

With difficult trading conditions out their at the moment, surely you would welcome the opportunity to be a part of this growing sector? 

6. Obtain the best deal

You may have several businesses entering into a “bidding war” to barter for your goods and services which will allow you to obtain the best goods or service in return.

7. Simple process

You will be pleasantly surprised just how quick and simple we have made the swapping process.

8. The way forward

Bargain Barter is particularly keen to build effective working relationships with small and medium size businesses as we feel this sector will benefit from this new advertising opportunity. Therefore, why not take just a few minutes to complete the online joining process.

If you have any questions you may contact us at advertising@bargainbarter.com.

We look forward to working in partnership with you for many years to come.

Bargain Barter


Bargain Barter permite a empresas e individuos intercambiar bienes y servicios sin la necesidad de dinero de por medio. El trueque ha existido durante cientos de años y ha crecido hasta obtener un lugar en el mercado multinacional. De hecho, en 2011, se estima que se intercambiaron bienes y servicios con un valor de $12 mil millones y hubo alrededor de 400.000 empresas involucradas el trueque.

¿Qué se puede intercambiar?

Casi cualquier cosa, siempre y cuando hacerlo sea legal. Si usted opera un negocio como electricista, tal vez necesite un local establecido fuera de su casa por lo que podría realizar una oferta buscando un constructor que le haga ese trabajo a  cambio de algún trabajo eléctrico para él o ella.

Si usted es un individuo, es posible que necesite un taladro nuevo y a cambio podría ofrecer ese televisor portátil que ya no tienen ningún uso para usted o cualquier otro artículo. El trueque en todo el mundo incluye bienes como coches, barcos, lavadoras, muebles, juguetes, ropa, zapatos, DVD, computadoras, instrumentos musicales, por nombrar sólo algunos.

¿Por qué utilizar Bargain Barter?
En el actual clima financiero mundial con tantas empresas e individuos que luchan por tener éxito, el dinero es un bien escaso. Lo anterior hace del trueque una alternativa  atractiva de hacer negocios.  Si usted tiene una empresa, mediante el trueque en lugar de pagar algo en efectivo, usted será capaz de retener los fondos en su cuenta bancaria, que luego podrían ser utilizados para financiar contratos adicionales aumentando así la rentabilidad de su negocio. También se abrirá la puerta a nuevas relaciones comerciales.

Si usted es un individuo, el trueque significa que usted no tiene que utilizar sus ahorros o aumentar sus deudas, tal como lo hace mediante el uso de una tarjeta de crédito cuando comprar un artículo o servicio.
Es fácil unirte a Bargain Barter, un sitio web simple, rápido de usar y lo mejor de todo es que es gratis. Si usted es una pyme o una persona que busca trocar un producto o servicio nosotros lo podemos ayudar.

¿Qué hace de Bargain Barter la mejor página web?
Bargain Barter es el primer sitio web de intercambio rápido y fácil de usar lo que significa que usted pasa más tiempo trabajando en su negocio que tratando de entender la página, pero sin dejar de obtener los bienes los servicios que lo que resultará en mayores beneficios para su empresa. Puede publicar las ofertas y necesidades soportándolas con fotos y/o vídeos y luego solamente esperar por las numerosas propuestas que vendrán, las cuales estarán visibles en el sitio web para que usted seleccione la que mejor satisfaga sus necesidades.

El trueque está aquí para quedarse y se prevé que seguirá creciendo aproximadamente entre  5% y 10% por año. Entonces  ¿por qué no unirse a nuestra comunidad y beneficiarse de los beneficios de Bargain Barter.

The future of bartering !


Bartering has been around for centuries in some form or other with both individuals and businesses swapping items and services. But, what does the future hold for bartering especially for small and medium sized businesses (SMB)?

Well, in 2011 services and goods to the value of $12 billion were exchanged without any cash passing between the businesses involved. It is believed that more than 400,000 businesses around the world decided that they had something to swap and conducted business in this way. Whilst no figures are yet available for 2012, it is estimated that the volume of swapping was forecast to increase by anything between 5% and 10%.

It is the word “cash” that has been referred to above that is of particular relevance. This is because, in the current global economy with some countries going into and out of recession, it is the ability to raise cash to buy goods and services that is a problem for many small and medium size businesses. The problem is especially prevalent with new business start-ups.

Yes, when a new business sets out on its journey to eventually become a multi-national cash rich corporate entity there are so many things that can get in the way, not least of which is cash flow. It is difficult enough for a new business to win customers but it can be even harder to get those customers to pay their invoice on time. It becomes a vicious circle- if you can’t get your debtor monies in how can you take on more work if you have no funds available to pay for stock etc.

Herein lies one of the major benefits of bartering because no cash ever changes hands when your business swaps something. This means that any cash that the new business had intended to set aside to buy such things as office furniture, computer, photocopier, machinery and advertising to name but a few can be used to take on further work that you are paid in cash for.

Another benefit to your business of bartering is that it opens the door to more new customers that you may not have come across in the normal way of trading.  Some of these customers may wish to exchange goods by way of swapping but some will undoubtedly wish to conduct business in cash thus enabling you to further increase your bank balance.

Another consideration is that a new business would often require an overdraft facility to assist with cash flow on which interest and arrangement fees are required. By bartering goods and services, this may result in a reduced borrowing requirement thus containing the expenses of the business.

So, the future of bartering does look healthy and, especially with world economies in the state they are in, it is almost certainly going to continue to expand for the foreseeable future. As an ever-increasing number of businesses join the bartering community this will create further opportunities.

Globally, there are over 500,000 business trade exchange members. Thirty three per cent of small businesses in the United States of America enjoy the benefits of bartering.  Are you going to be the next new business that starts to dabble in swapping goods or services?
