WHY BARTER ?

The Challenge... Facing your business today, and in the coming years, is how to maintain a competitive edge. This means rethinking the standard way of doing business. It also means exploring new sources of revenue.

What We Want is Purchasing Power... We all know that cash is only as good as what it can buy. So, when it comes to making your purchases the form of payment is unimportant. Using your goods and/or services is an excellent way to continue to make the purchases you and your business need while saving your cash.

New Profits... Imagine you have a stack of U.S. dollars that represents your current revenue. From that stack you have to pay all of your business and personal expenses. Now, picture adding a second stack of Value Card barter dollars to the top of that. The lights are already on in your office; the rent and the employees are getting paid. Overhead didn't go up, but your resources to pay it did! Pay for everything you can out of that newly aquired stack of Value Card barter dollars. Then pay the rest with the U.S. dollars. That stack of U.S. dollars, your profit, is taller than it ever has been, you have new customers, and you have options that you've never had before .

Locally... Value Card offers hundreds of local businesses that your business will profit with.

Nationally... Add to that the Value Card International Barter Alliance you are connected to the largest barter marketplaces in the world. With over 180 exchanges and over $400 million in goods and services available your business is sure to profit locally and around the world.

"Businesses large and small use the non-cash exchange of goods and services to stretch their hard-earned dollars."
