7 Barter Resolutions to Improve Your Business in the New Year

Long ago, the custom of making New Year’s Resolutions was established in the western world.

The rolling over of the calendar from December 31st of the old year to January 1st of the new year seems to provide an opportunity for a fresh start in our lives, so the act of resolving to change some of our habits is, at worst, a good idea, and, at best, a real turning point in the way we go about our daily business.

Therefore, in this same spirit of self-improvement, we would like to propose some of the following “Barter Resolutions” for you to consider as your modus operandi in all IMS Barter transactions in the years to come.

WHEN YOU ARE THE SELLER, treat all barter clients with the same courtesy, respect and quality of service that you would provide to your cash customers.

BE PREPARED TO OFFER BARTER CLIENTS the same competitive, yet fair pricing that you make available to your other customers. Remember, half the time you are the buyer.

RESOLVE TO GET THE MOST BENEFIT FROM YOUR ACCOUNT in IMS Barter by calling your broker regularly. He or she is always available to help you acquire more barter sales and to help you find the products and services that you need for greater profits in your business and more fulfillment in your personal life.

SINCE EVERY BARTER PURCHASE, replacing a cash purchase, saves you money, begin negotiating trade opportunities with your present cash vendors. They may be willing to start trading with you, but you have to ask the question.

REWARD YOUR EMPLOYEES. They will give you more loyalty and work harder for you if you provide them with timely perks. Consider using IMS Barter MDS to take your employees to their favorite restaurant for lunch or dinner — or to have lunch catered at the office. Also, the IMS Showroom is filled with hundreds of gift items that will be well received by your staff. Using trade dollars to pay for employee gifts and bonuses will help to preserve your precious cash, and, at the same time, uplift the entire morale of your office.

REWARD YOURSELF. You’ve worked hard in the past and you deserve some perks for your efforts. The IMS Showroom products, the many barter travel accommodations, and the wide variety of fine restaurants and quality entertainment now available on trade provide you with many affordable opportunities to reward yourself and your loved ones.

AND THE FINAL BARTER RESOLUTION:

Always trade with others as you would have them trade with you.
