Four reasons you should consider online marketplaces
Marketplaces not only bring buyers and sellers together to trade goods and services, they can also help increase sales, improve margins and lets the people operating that business spend more quality time with their families.
If marketplaces you use to sell your goods and services don't deliver on any of those points, it would be a good move to start exploring what other marketplaces the online world has to offer.
Bartercard operates in a cash free economy – and small businesses that don't necessarily pay cash for something can be a very good thing.
The Bartercard Marketplace platform is where thousands of members make trades in just a few clicks.
Members can list products, services and promotions that are then searchable by users through the browsing platform.
Users specify what promotions they want to see, while search results will also suggest deals they may not have even considered.
How will Marketplace boost your business, gain new customers and allow you to spend more time with your family? Bartercard says there are some key advantages. Let's take a look.
You can attract and retain clients easily. The Bartercard community can help you to provide a stronger, more efficient service for your customers. And happy customers equal repeat customers.

You finally have an alternative to paying cash. Did you know Bartercard has already traded more than $150 million's worth of goods outside the traditional cash economy? Ditching cash payments can decrease business outgoings, which means you can sell more without squeezing margins.
