Spending your Excess Capacity
With the economy not yet at pre-recession levels, chances are that you may still have some excess capacity in your business. Lack of new customers and increased cash flow could be preventing you from adding needed personnel to grow your business to the next level.
What if you could deposit income from future sales in a bank account,
and then spend that money to offset your business expenses today?
Equitrade International, Inc., is a pioneer in the commercial barter industry and has developed programs for businesses like yours to take advantage of the purchasing power from sales that have yet to be made. With an account at Equitrade you can deposit gift certificates from your own business and receive a credit balance that can be used to purchase needed products and services. By using your Equitrade account to replace cash in your spending, you retain that cash, and those future sales drop to your bottom line today.
Why gift certificates?
When you issue a gift certificate on your business you are in effect printing your own private currency. The gift certificate represents a promise of the future delivery of your product or service to the bearer of the certificate. Some of the benefits of using gift certificates are:
-
Spend your credit balance today. Gift certificates are redeemed in the future
-
Gift certificates are redeemed by new customers sent to you by Equitrade
-
No change is given, overage is paid in cash by the customer
-
Gratuities are paid in cash, where applicable
-
Referrals from new happy customers bring in more cash business
-
Gift certificates become a marketing campaign of their own
-
Your cost at redemption is limited to your wholesale product cost
Using Your New Barter Account
The principle of effective bartering is to use barter in lieu of spending cash which leaves budgeted cash in the bank. The gift certificates that are deposited with Equitrade by many other businesses like yours create a large pool of products and services from which you can spend your barter credits. And, through affiliate agreements with other national barter networks, Equitrade can help you access goods and services from over 100,000 businesses that barter every day. Items that you may consider purchasing for your business with your new Equitrade account include:
-
Advertising and Marketing
-
Travel and Entertainment
-
Property Maintenance
-
Professional Services
-
Commercial Real Estate Leasing
-
Debt settlement

How much of your excess capacity should you deposit with Equitrade? On average, even in good times, most businesses experience about 15% in excess capacity. That means that they can absorb an extra 15% in new sales without increasing their overhead. That could be a significant number for your business. So, how about starting off with a deposit into your new Equitrade account equivalent to only 1% of last years’ sales? Let us show you how we can take revenue from future sales and offset today’s expenses.
