- 1) In what ways do you use your trade dollars?
- In what ways don’t we? We use trade for virtually everything, including accounting services, advertising, office cleaning, dining, haircuts, pet grooming, transportation, vacations, concert and event tickets, limousines, home furnishings, home improvements, realtor fees, art, jewelry, flowers, gift baskets, toys, maps, catering, BBQ equipment and supplies, etc.
-
- 2) What is the most exciting thing you have purchased on trade?
- Besides our two vacuum cleaners? It would have to be the complete home theater package we purchased in November, 2004.
-
- 3) What benefits have you experienced as a result of trading through BNI?
- The two main benefits have been the ability to hold onto our cash and live a much more luxurious lifestyle. Second, our barter clients have referred numerous extra clients to us over the years.
-
- 4) What advice do you have for business owners that are not currently bartering?
- So many business owners have joined BNI since we joined in 1996. Nearly everything and anything you can imagine is available on barter now. You’ll be amazed by how much money you save, how well you can preserve your cash flow and how much fun you have doing it. If nothing else, simply the benefit of gaining additional clients from the referrals of barter clients is well worth the membership. Give barter a try, attend the mixers and keep in touch with your broker!

- 1) In what ways do you use
your trade dollars?
- All ways. Any way possible.
I've used it for home improvements, dining at restaurants, vacations
and travel, auto repair, golf, etc.

- 2) What is the most exciting
thing you have purchased on trade?
- My air conditioner! I had my
central air and heating system unit installed. That was a great
savings for me. And I especially enjoyed bartering for a Super
box at the Phillies vs. Cincinnati Reds game and the limo ride
up and back to Philadelphia with 13 people!
-
- 3) What benefits have you
experienced as a result of trading through BNI?
- I've benefited from meeting
a diverse network of people through the mixers and the Holiday
Tradeshow as well as through reading the newsletters and the
New Member Update Lists. That's how I learn about a lot of new
businesses in the area.

- 4) What advice do you have
for business owners that are not currently bartering?
- One way to increase your revenue
is to join Barter Network. Since I have been bartering it has
provided me an avenue of revenue for business expenses that are
normal day to day operating expenses that I would normally pay
cash for. It took me a while to understand that barter dollars
are money. These dollars can be used in numerous ways for business
or personal use.
