j u n e 2 0 0 7 inside trader It’s Summer! H e l p i n g B u s i n e s s e s C o mpe te in the Marke tplace Since 1978 The Key to a Carefree Summertime is TradeFirst! employees to call TradeFirst.com before spending cash on anything. They utilize trade for a majority of their business and save an immense amount of cash per year. Furniture, transportation, company luncheons, pest control, artwork, signs and banners, displays, employee incentives, travel, catering, limousine service, batteries, welding supplies, flowers, and restaurant gift certificates are just a few goods and services they purchase on trade. W We have a catering facility, which also calls TradeFirst.com before spending cash. Some of their purchases include large amounts of office furniture, tree removal, glass remodeling, electrical work, advertising, carpet cleaning, name badges, truck rental, flowers, holiday parties, plumbing, shelving, lockers for employees, as well as personal spending. A A T As a member of the TradeFirst.com family, you know we are a diverse group, with over 5,000 companies selling everything from gift baskets to white water rafting trips! So why do some people find bartering gives them a boost, while others struggle? Successful traders exhibit one common business practice: they have shifted a portion of their expenses from cash vendors to TradeFirst members. T Think about the everyday items you buy: advertising, carpet cleaning, auto repair, travel, janitorial services and supplies, dry cleaning, employee benefits, building maintenance, office services, dining and entertainment, car washes, and basic printing. If you pay cash for any of these, you are missing the point of barter! If you are still paying cash for your printing, then you are not realizing the benefits of your membership or understanding the boost in cash flow bartering can provide. H Another member just built a house, and called TradeFirst.com to help him conserve cash: garage doors, entry doors, heating and cooling, construction cleanup, window cleaning, garage shelving, bedroom and dining room furniture, light fixtures, mirrors, shower doors, window treatments are some of the ways trade benefited him. TradeFirst.com can assist you if you plan on moving your business. Shelving and organization units, furniture for the office, phone systems, time clocks, cash registers, electrical and plumbing assistance, landscaping, carpet, painting, printing, moving companies, packaging materials, window treatments, signs, parking lot striping, and security systems are yet more ways trade can benefit you. O Here are a few examples to help you understand how some TradeFirst members conserve their cash: One of our largest traders has instructed their Our objective is simple: we want to help you reduce your cash expenses. In order for this to happen, you must shift your buying habits. Quit spending unnecessary cash. Call your broker today!
