Membership Benefits To gain the most from your ATX Membership, it is important to understand the complete barter program that ATX has designed. It includes many creative methods, both in printed material and personal support service provided by our Client Services Team to help make barter more profitable and beneficial for you and your company. Businesses barter for everything from copiers, remodeling and printing to car repair, home furnishings and vacations and everything in between! You will be amazed at what you can accomplish with an ATX membership. ATX Serves As Your Barter Clearinghouse ATX serves as a bank of sorts, establishing a currency or unit of payment called a Trade Dollar; thus eliminating the limitations of one-to-one direct trades. Participating businesses buy and sell in the barter network using Trade Dollars. ATX Provides Wholesale Buying Power Trading through ATX allows you to acquire other products at the wholesale cost of your own products. This special purchasing power, achieved exclusively by trade exchange members, is often referred to as "barter leverage." For example, if you sell copy machines, jewelry, clothing or any other product that has a keystone markup (a pricing structure in which your wholesale cost is half of the retail selling price) you will be acquiring each of your trade dollars for a cash outlay of just fifty cents. Then, when you make a purchase using these trade dollars, you are paying half price for everything that you buy on trade. ATX Simplifies Your Record Keeping ATX facilitates a computerized transfer of funds between the buyer and seller to tracks each barter sale using a specially designed software program. ATX provides complete record keeping for all of your barter transactions and issues each member a complete itemized monthly statement. ATX Constantly Markets Your Company

ATX Assists As Your Purchasing Agent Once your account has generated new sales, you then have trade dollars to spend. This means you can purchase items for your business such as office equipment, advertising, promotional items, client entertainment, auto repair, even travel with your ATX Trade Dollars, while freeing up cash for other purposes - all paid for with new business from ATX. Personal luxuries like jewelry, home improvements, clothing and vacations may also be accommodated with barter. ATX Works To Satisfy Your Needs A TPR (Trade Purchase Request) is processed each time ATX receives a specific request from a participant for something not currently available in our barter network. The ATX Sales Team uses these specific criteria to recruit new barter accounts to fulfill your need. The barter industry is a very supply and demand oriented business and your needs help us to supply the demand of the network.
