Find out how your manufacturing business can benefit from Bartercard.

Since 1992, manufacturing businesses have turned to Bartercard to fill their idle capacity and sell surplus stock. Rather than discount their prices, which results in reduced profits and brand value, they've discovered how to get the edge by using Bartercard's simple trading system of turning unproductive time and/or stock into trade dollars. These trade dollars are then used to reduce their cash expenses.

Elco Canvas has been a member of Bartercard since it started in New Plymouth, about 15 years ago. Our primary purpose for using Bartercard is our manufactured products, such as our archgola-style canopies and shade sails. We’ve found Bartercard gives us an edge when competing for work, and we’ve secured many good contracts from out of town simply by being a member. Bartercard is the best of both worlds. We find it fits in well with our cash contracts, while helping us conserve cash by allowing us to spend our trade dollars on business expenses. Being a part of the Bartercard network has undoubtedly had a positive impact on our cashflow.
