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.

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.

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!
