Bartercard has opened doors to other business, and fantastic people who have added valuable information, which i have used in my business. Accommodation has such a vast amount of things in every field. I now only use trade when buying anything for the business from knives and folk to beds lounges. Kayakes to SUP Boards life size 12 ft fiberglass crocodile pelicans hogs commercial jupming castle caterers for weddings xmas parties and new year bash and never to much trouble and prices better than cash. all I get better deals on barter and more respect from bartercard members than the cash business. Saving cash is what BC is all about. Everyone on barter trade dollar 4 dollar and everything will work for everyone. My business was flooded last year and it was electrians on bartercard who saved me from losing more income than the flood had already taken and bartercard cleaning businesses that got my business up and running a meter of water thru the town and my business completely under water. I could not get non bartercard businesses to come because of the huge amount of work available. When i rang bartercard electrians i had vans pull up with 6 electrians who did not hesitate on getting power back on, and it was only a few hours and they were here this business was not one i had used before and I did not know them, i said i was bartercard member he said no worries and thats how all the businesses i deal with treat me. Its not just a form of trade but more a club or new family, I love just Bartercard. In all my business has doubled income in 3 years . Thank god someone came up with this fantastic trading scheme.
