There are
many businesses that naturally attract the opportunity to
trade. Publications and media are among the most likely
to be offered trade for advertising. In most cases,
publications either get stuck holding a lot of trade certificates
that may expire before they find another market for these
services, or they find themselves warehousing and selling
items far below their value. In some cases, the employees
start to hover around these items like a bunch of vultures eyeing
new prey. I don't think there are too many business owners
that feel that they are not giving their employees
enough, most feel it would be nice if these trade items
ended up somewhere in the income received category of the
financial statement. Many businesses turn down the
opportunity to accept trade simply because they do not
know what to do with it.
By participating in an
organization that specializes in trade, it is rather simple
to turn whatever items you can receive in trade into
trade credits that do not expire, and to direct those
trade credits to purchase the items that you want to buy and not
be stuck with only those items that you are offered in
trade.
Another avenue to pursue in accepting trade,
gift certificates, vouchers, etc. is that you can take
your product or service directly to another business, who
doesn't have to be a trade club member and offer to trade
them for their product or for their gift certificates, or
perhaps they have some other items that they have taken in
trade too! Whichever of these avenues open up for you
will still result in the same goal; that of creating more
trade credits for your business so that you can decrease
your cash expenses or apply them to the building up of
your business, or just have a good time!
Many
times the luxuries of taking off for a fun weekend, or going
out to dinner, or buying something just for the fun of it
are reserved for the wealthy. There is nothing wrong with
enjoying a little of the hard earned wealth you created
along the way -- NOW!
