Barter... Your Competitive Edge
How can you increase your sales, move excess inventory, utilize downtime,
and turn unsold seats into new business… without spending cash up front?
Cape Cod Trade and New England Trade brokers millions of dollars in sales and purchases for
its members each year without the use of cash. Our local members receive the benefits of trading regionally,
nationally and internationally.

1. Who uses barter?
Barter is a practice as old as mankind. It is a way for people to trade what they have or what they do
for the other goods and services they need barter.
You may be amazed to find that more than 60% of all businesses utilize barter to increase their business
and their bottom line. Any business that is looking to move excess inventory, generate new sales,
and conserve cash can benefit from Cape Cod Trade.

2. How does barter help your financial bottom line?
Anytime you can pay for something you want with something you have (inventory, excess capacity)
instead of writing a check, you have helped your bottom line. For example, a local restaurant owner
was writing a check every month to pay for his exterminating service. Once he joined Cape Cod Trade
the restaurant switched to an exterminator that is a member, now he is paying for this service with
food and beverage, leaving the cash in his checkbook.

3. How does it work?
Barter is simple; you use Trade Dollars to make new sales and purchases. Your broker will assist with
an evaluation of what you have to trade and what you are looking to trade for. Cape Cod Trade then
promotes your offerings among a huge member base and helps connect you with businesses
offering what you need.

4. Why choose Cape Cod Trade?
If you have past experience with Barter, or wonder if all barter networks are alike,
you will be pleased to know that customers consistently rate
Cape Cod Trade as the most
successful and active network of any type they have been in.
