	IMPROVE SALES Bartercard members prefer to purchase goods and services using Bartercard Trade Dollars within the Bartercard trade exchange system, as opposed to non-member suppliers who only deal in cash.  This results in increased sales opportunities for members and new customers outside the normal geographic market, as Bartercard members go out of their way to buy from another Bartercard member.
	INCREASE YOUR CUSTOMER BASE Bartercard introduces new member businesses to over 55,000 member trading customers who may otherwise never be exposed to this member’s goods or services.
	IMPROVE CASHFLOW Members can pay for business expenses with their Bartercard Trade Dollars, thereby conserving cash for unscheduled expenditures and investment into the growth of their business.
	GEOGRAPHICALLY EXPAND YOUR CUSTOMER BASE Bartercard members can cost-effectively expand their business market reach by using Bartercard’s nationwide and global directory service, plus the national online eMARKETplace and Auction portals.  All global member businesses, including over 6,000 New Zealand member businesses, can access these directories and portals for trading purposes.
	REDUCE ACQUISITION COSTS AND INCREASE PROFIT Members gain discounts equivalent to their gross margins when purchasing goods and services through the Bartercard network.  An example of a 70% discount can be demonstrated by a member who sells within the Bartercard network a $100 good or service that has cost their business $30 to deliver.  They receive T$100 credited to their Bartercard account for this transaction.  The sale could consist of excess stock or a service delivered in idle time and may not have taken place if the member were not part of the Bartercard network.  The Trade Dollar credit derived from this transaction enables the member to purchase goods and services to the value of $100, but has a real cost of only $30.
	REDUCE DEBT INTEREST EXPENSE Purchasing goods and services using Bartercard Trade Dollars frees up cash that many Bartercard members then use to pay down interest bearing debt burdens.  In addition, Bartercard provides an interest-free line of credit.
	REDUCE EXCESS STOCK/PERSONNEL TIME By trading through Bartercard, member businesses can sell idle or excess inventory or personnel time to the expanded customer base of member businesses that are looking for opportunities to trade, rather than spend cash.
	BARTERCARD HOLDS THE MEMBER'S HAND TO TRADE A Trade Broker is assigned to manage relationships between members and to assist them in selling and finding deals through the Bartercard exchange.
	THE POWER OF THE BARTERCARD TRADE DOLLAR The cost to generate the Bartercard Trade Dollar is an important underlying benefit experienced by businesses worldwide. Many fixed costs of producing goods or services are covered through cash sales, meaning that the cost of generating and fulfilling a Bartercard sale is your cost of good or service sold.  Therefore, when you purchase goods or services using Bartercard, although you pay the ticket or market price, you are actually paying for your purchase with your own inventory - which costs you wholesale.  In effect, each time you spend a Trade Dollar, you save whatever your mark-up profit margin is!  This is the power of the Bartercard Trade Dollar.
	ONLINE SERVICES Bartercard offer a range of online services to facilitate easy trading. These include: •    24 hour eMARKETplace and Online Auction sites •    Statements Online •    International Online directory
