The Benefits of Barter

Increase Sales, Save Cash, & Improve Cash Flow -

  • Barter sales will increase from the exclusive member directory, trading floor, and dedicated broker.
  • When you spend barter credits through WNY Barter, you save your cash. Every barter dollar you spend is a cash dollar saved, which keeps more cash in your bank account for other expenses.

Attract Customers -

  • Use barter dollars for advertising, promotional items, and cash referrals

Turn Excess Inventory & Reduce Seasonality -

  • Don't liquidate off-season or slow-moving items for pennies on the dollar. Barter them at full retail price.
  • Use and accept barter dollars during slow times of the year to strengthen your overall financial position.

Expand Market Share, New Business Relationships, & Support Local Economy -

  • 24/7 exposure, which brings in new customers and provides new networking opportunities within an exclusive association.
  • We hold networking events that will help you meet new businesses that can grow your company.
  • Bottom line is members like to buy from members as well as referring others.

Enhance Productivity -

  • WNY Barter will help your company put inventory, equipment, and employees to good use, which creates new revenue that otherwise would not be available. You can then use that revenue to purchase goods and services to support the business, basically taking your less productive assets and exchanging them for more valuable goods and services.

Gain a Competitive Edge -

  • WNY Barter is an exclusive trade exchange who works effectively and effeciently to promote your business.
  • Your company can also benefit from a free line of credit solely based on your goods and services.

What to Barter?
