Turning Over Trade

Turning Over Trade

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!
