Bartercard Blog: How Bartercard Gave Its Member a Grand Birthday Party

-

“I just love Bartercard which helps us to afford the lifestyle we are able to live!”

Annie Noon of Fotoforce Photography has been a Bartercard member for 19 years and still speaks highly about the services it provides. Bartercard is a barter-trading system where a business can barter their goods and services with another business within
 Bartercard network without using cash. So, when Annie organized her birthday party, she saved a hefty amount of money and had a grand celebration.

Annie called her account manager and stated her plans. The account manager then contacted several businesses to engage their services for Annie’s party. Businesses were keen to help and gain this new business by providing their goods and services to Annie.

Through Bartercard, Annie was able to get several party supply services on barter, such as; 
  1. balloon decorations,
  2. a 2-tier cake birthday cake. It wouldn’t be a birthday party without a cake, right?
  3. Annie also had her home made warmer, fresher, and more welcoming for the event by acquiring the services of a cleaning and gardening company. 
  4. As the star of the night, Annie did a little sprucing of her own on Bartercard with a haircut and color. 
  5. The catering was also arranged on Bartercard, details below. 
  6. For the final touch, Annie wore a stunning burgundy evening gown from another Bartercard member.

Now, we go down to the all-important food and catering. The Bartercard account manager called several food businesses to see who was available and offered them to cater for Annie’s party. The account manager spoke with one of the sports club members, who, incidentally had never thought about outside catering before. Once they heard the idea of catering for Annie’s birthday party, they quickly jumped at the opportunity to gain this additional business. In this case, the Bartercard account manager persuading the sports club to provide catering services to Annie’s party which was a totally new area of business for them. Annie was thrilled that she got her catering and the sports club was ecstatic to pick up an outside catering job.

One of the good things about being part of the Bartercard network is, it can introduce businesses to other areas of businesses that they have never explored before, granting them exposure to expand their business line. By spending through Bartercard on business or personal expenses, it enables companies to keep more cash in their pockets, all the while making sure their lifestyle needs are met,  which is what Annie loves the most. 

Bartercard has been around for 27 years and maintains its guarantee of additional business and saving cash, and just like what is stated above, it will continue to ensure business-owners are getting the most of their Bartercard account.

By: Bartercard Australia  Long before there was money, our ancestors acquired their necessities by means of negotiation and trade . This act of negotiation and trading is called “ barter ” and it is the system of exchanging goods and services without using cash.   Today, the idiomatic expression “ money makes the world go round ” makes sense due to the fact that money has become a universally recognised fundamental commodity ,  whereas “barter” is less widely known. Luckily, the barter system hasn’t completely  faded. Because companies like Bartercard , the world’s leading company for trade exchanges , has revived the barter system with a modern twist which uses technology for accurate record keeping to fit the trends of the modern world. And guess what, it's been working for over 27 years now.  Naomi Spies, head of  Ruby Communications One such person utilising Bartercard since her membership in 2013 is Naomi Spies, head of Ruby Communications .

By: Bartercard Australia  More often than not, you will hear people talking about customer service wherever people are and more often than not, they are negative.  Indeed, it is not every day that a company would gain positive comments regarding the company’s good service despite several positive experiences from the customers. As they say, people will always talk about negative things but they are quiet when it is positive.  Sprout Social Index proved this when they released their research on the customer service call-out culture in the third quarter of 2017 called “ Call-Out Culture: People, Brands, and the Social Media Power Struggle ”. It was revealed that 92 percent of customers will call a customer service department on their poor service or performance while a certain percentage tend to not provide positive feedback when it is due.  In today’s blog, I will talk about how a former skeptic of Bartercard gave credit to the excellent customer serv
