Trading Tips
Pay outside vendors with trade.
When someone outside of ATX tries to sell you something you want, offer to pay for it in trade dollars. Then let ATX know so that we can follow up to get them as participants in The ATX Trade Network.
Close deals with trade.
When a prospective client outside the exchange will not buy your product or service and you really want the business, offer to sell for trade dollars. We'll be happy to set it up so you can make your sale.
Pay employee bonuses with trade.
Many of our successful traders use trade dollars to reduce payroll and/or offer incentive programs for employees.
Set up sub-accounts.
Ideal for family and employees. Paying trade to a sub-account is as easy as writing a check. And it's better, because you don't spend the cash.
Donate trade dollars.
Donate products and services to your favorite charity, provide the flowers at church or donate food baskets to the needy - all with ATX trade.
Reduce taxes with trade.
Reduce taxes by spending trade on tax-deductible office expenses like copiers, fax machines and printing.
Collect receivables with trade.
If a business owes you cash and cannot pay - it's better to be paid in their products and services than to have a bad debt on your books. Accept their credit as payment and sell it through ATX for trade dollars.
Pay creditors with trade dollars.
When you are short on cash, ATX will be happy to open an account with one of your creditors so you can settle all or a portion of your debt with trade dollars.
Send ATX referrals to businesses that can benefit you and the exchange.
The reason ATX has been able to build Northeast Ohio's strongest retail barter company is that is has developed a highly successful client referral program. Ask your broker for details.
Cash Converting.
Cash converting is a method of turning your trade dollars into cash. Simplified, you buy products and services with Trade Dollars and then sell to staff, family, friends, or business associates for cash.
Attract cash customers with trade.
Use ATX Trade Dollars to pay for advertising to attract new cash-paying clients. In order to stay ahead of the competition, you must advertise. Take trade dollars earned from selling to new ATX clients and spend them for advertising. Your cash flow will stay the same or increase by trading for necessities.
Value Added Benefits.
Use trade to promote perceived value gifts to future customers when they buy from you. Use trade to buy such gifts to encourage cash business.
