MBE Benefits

Building Your Business With Barter

It’s an eye-opening statistic: 35 percent of all world trade is accompanied by barter, accounting for nearly $700 billion in commerce a year.

In fact, the viability of the barter industry and the benefits of membership in a trade exchange have been reported by such authorities as The Wall Street Journal, Kiplinger’s, CBS News, Marketing Concepts, Opportunity magazine, Family Circle, and Good Housekeeping.

Here’s how joining the Merchants Barter Exchange can benefit your company:

• Generate new business. Your company will be exposed to thousands of new business contacts across the U.S. eager to spend their Trade Dollars.
• Conserve your cash. Purchase the goods and services your company needs with Trade Dollars instead of cash.
• Clear out excess time, inventory, and capacity. Trade what you have too much of for the things you don’t have enough of.

You can also use Trade Dollars as welcome employee bonuses or supplements to regular salaries. And you may even be able to use Trade Dollars to pay bills, negotiate purchases with non-member companies, or clear up past-due accounts receivable.

We think you’ll come to agree with our thousands of member companies that today, barter really is a smarter way to help build your business.
