I would like to take a moment to congratulate our Annual Holiday Barter Expo Booth Winners:
Tied for Best Dressed Booth: Art of Decor and Candice Eisenfeld Fine Arts will both win $150 Trade Dollars for their eye-catching booths.
Highest Sales Volume Booths: (Each will receive $150 Trade Dollars) Platinum Winner: California ImportsGold Winner: Mik MarketingSilver Winner: Latest Rage

Please take a moment to view their services on-line as they excel in their daily business, which was well reflected in their outstanding booths at the Expo.
Now, with the New Year underway, it’s an excellent time to make plans for the year ahead. Advanced business planning will pay off in measurable gains, especially with barter through Tradesource.Membership Lowers Your Customer Acquisition Cost… Your cost for customer acquisition in our marketplace is lower than in the cash world.
Membership Increases Customer Retention… In the barter world the percentage of first time buyers returning is much higher because of the value of the goods and services by using trade. Therefore a trade client should be considered a core customer, as they’ll always revisit your establishment if all other things are equal compared to the cash world.
Membership Brings Ever Increasing Sales… The real measure of a healthy business lies in the strength, depth, and length of its relationships with is core customers. A satisfied barter customer will go out of his or her way to continually do business with you – buying more frequently, as well as placing larger orders! They are also more apt to recommend you even to their cash only network.
Barter through Tradesource is a proven way of doing business. Working through a barter exchange is much easier and far more effective than the old-fashioned, cumbersome one-to-one trading. Don’t minimize your trading efforts – your commitment to bartering could be the difference between success and struggling every day. In short, all of us must use every avenue available to compete and prosper in an ever-increasing competitive world. Your membership with Tradesource maximizes your business advantage. So, take advantage of Tradesource and contact your broker to see how we can best service you. Happy New Year!
Tradefully Yours,Mary Ellen Rosinski, CPA, CTB
