Welcome to Local Trade Network

We Are a Worldwide Barter Exchange That Serves Both International and Local Communities.

Bartering is a great way to grow your business and save your hard earned cash.

Local Trade Network is a Barter Exchange that connects conscious business owners from around the world, so that they can enjoy an abundance of goods and services without having to cut into their hard earned cash.

The trade and barter system is an age old method that serves as a simple and effective way for commerce to thrive without being dependent upon the fluctuating climate surrounding today’s current economy.

In fact, the barter system has grown and evolved tremendously throughout the last few decades, and has become a tried and true method of exchange through which commerce can thrive.

 

How does it work?

Businesses receive trade credit in the form of barter units, and are able to purchase goods and services from other members. Then, as they receive barter units for their offerings, they can spend those units to purchase any other offerings available within the network.

Our family of conscious business owners can enjoy access to Accountants, Hotels/Air BB’s, Healers, Advertising, Home School Teachers, Nurseries, Electronics, and more. In addition to this, we provide the assistance of Barter Brokers to help commerce flow seamlessly throughout the exchange.

We also have the capability for international members to expand trade amongst their local communities, so that they can enjoy local goods and services like groceries, childcare, landscaping, car repair, etc… We plan to implement this addition once the core group has been solidified, and offer a Local Ambassador Program.

We are so excited to be bringing this long held dream to reality, and look forward to the beautiful journey ahead!

Reduce Overhead Expenses

Use barter sales to compensate for monthly operating costs and reduce overhead expenditures; such as office supply costs, cleaning supplies, company vehicle parts, accounting services, etc. These purchases can also be written off as tax deductible business expenses.

UTILIZE EXCESS INVENTORY

Have extra inventory on hand? This is where the tool of trade and barter really shines. Members are more open to barter than spending cash, and will purchase or trade for items they are interested in because they are more easily accessible. This way your unused inventory gets turned into goods and/or services that you or your business can utilize, and becomes a win-win situation in which everyone in the community flourishes.

BENEFIT FROM YOUR EXCESS CAPACITY

Due to the current economic climate, sometimes business can be slow, and otherwise unbooked hours fall to the wayside. Utilize these unused service hours by selling them in exchange for barter units and trade. Again, this creates a win-win situation, and keeps the flow of commerce healthy and prosperous.

ENHANCE EMPLOYEE REWARDS

Thank your employees by bartering for, and distributing, gift certificates. This gives them access to goods and services within the trade network.

GENERATE REFERRALS

More barter business means more word of mouth circulating about your goods and/or services, resulting in more referrals of new potential cash paying customers to your business.
