Reason #1 for a business to barter

Your ability to leverage your buying power is the most important (in my humble opinion) reason for you to understand how to use barter in your daily business practice.

Let me give you some examples:

A massage therapist has at least 20:1 buying power with trade  (their only cost in the trade is approx. $2 per massage, which is the cost of their massage oil and some laundry soap for washing the sheets).

A restaurant averages 4:1 buying power (their only cost in the trade is approx. 25% food cost).

Hair Dressers average 10:1 buying power  (their only cost in the trade will average 10%).

Carpet Cleaners are about the same as a hair dresser.

Radio Stations and other advertising media are at about 20:1.

Printing businesses are approximately at 10:1 buying power.

…and the list goes on and on…

Any down-time in your business is a prime barter opportunity. If you have expenditures you should be thinking of ways to utilize barter instead of your already earned cash to pay for them.

A simple question I would recommend you get use to asking yourself;

If I could pay $10 for this service instead of $50, would it be worth bartering for?

Barter isn’t going to work every time, BUT, it will work enough of the time to save you thousand’s of dollars per year! All you have to do is”make it so”.
