The Trading Post Grand Opening - Saturday, April 24

OK, so we officially opened last week, but we'll have our "grand opening" on April 24th from 10am-5pm. Bring the whole family and invite your friends! We'll have a live band, an inflatable bouncy and face painting for the kids and more. Make a list of all the celebrations you have coming up and all the people you need to buy gifts for this spring/summer and take a look to see what you can get on trade before you spend cash. This week we received a shipment of designer fragrances and we have lots of other items in store.

We want to thank all the members that have visited our store in the past week - we've received lots of positive feedback on the variety and quality of items and our shoppers are excited about the convenience of shopping on trade.

The store has also received quite a bit of publicity in the past couple of weeks. In our last newsletter, we mentioned the segment on 11Alive. Well, they came back and did a feature news story on us and we were also on the front of the Gwinnett Daily Post! Check out the stories on our Barter News page. Thank you to all the members who were contacted by the media and agreed to interviews!

Use barter to prosper during a recession!

Southern Barter Club (SBC) will help you trade through a network of more than 700 local and 50,000 national participating members in our corporate barter exchange. Large and small businesses are beating the recession by 'trading' services, excess merchandise, and other available resources for the goods and services they buy every day. Southern Barter Club will help you reduce cash spending, save cash and open up a new market segment from which to develop new customers and referrals. Learn how you can increase cash flow, cut overhead and acquire goods, services, luxuries and appreciating assets without spending CASH!

It's your cash. Keep it!

That's what happens when you join Southern Barter Club - By increasing your sales, we make it possible for you to obtain a multitude of goods and services - while holding on to your hard earned cash. How do we do it? It's very simple. As a SBC member, we bring you customers you would not have otherwise. They are also SBC members. You charge them your regular retail rate. Instead of cash, they pay you in 'SBC Barter Dollars' that go into your SBC Barter Bank Account. Taxes and tips? Collect them in cash, just like you usually would. Unlike one-on-one trading, being part of a network gives you the flexibility to provide your goods and services to fellow network members and then obtain goods and services from other members of the network.

Use your trade dollars to generate cash business!

Trade your down time, available resources, excess or aging inventory for marketing, media advertising, direct mail, printing, website construction, signs, accounting, office supplies and equipment, administrative services, cleaning, painting, plumbing, electricians, carpet cleaning, travel and entertainment.

In addition to reducing cash expenditures for your business, trade can be used for personal and household expenses including dentists, chiropractors, restaurants, theatre, vacations, hotels, jewelry, massage/spas, limousines, handyman work, gutter cleaning, tree removal, gifts, clothing, fine art, furnishings, and more.

Barter is Better. Don't Spend Cash.
Trade For What You Need!

All businesses are welcome regardless of size
Refreshments served
