Trading 101
What is Trade/Barter? Trade/Barter is the exchange of goods and services without the use of cash. Local Trade Partners gives you the flexibility to trade with many different vendors by using trade dollars as the method of payment. This frees you from the limitation of direct trading only between two parties. When you sell and buy, your account is credited and debited accordingly. The advantages to your business are increased sales from the new customers we bring you and cash saved by using trade instead of cash.
We all depend on Cash sales for our lifeblood. Cash is clearly KING- the next best thing is Trade, so Trade is QUEEN. You will get new customers and earn income that you would have not received prior to joining Local Trade Partners- We will get you new customers!
1. Buying at Wholesale:
When you sell your product through Local Trade Partners you sell at your regular cash price. Your cost is your wholesale cost, so when you BUY through Local Trade Partners, in effect you are buying at your wholesale cost. Since you are trading at your cost- you are buying at cost. Think of the fun you will have buying at cost. Our members find it pretty exciting to be able to buy from a huge group of local businesses, and when you consider the facts- You will save a pile of cash!
2. Marketing:
WE'RE LOCAL and we SUPPORT LOCAL BUSINESSES.
We have a huge number of Local Businesses that are highly motivated to do business with you. The network of Local Trade Partners will become your customers... and friends and colleagues- Think of the advantages of having a region -wide group of people that are your advocates- this takes time- but with networking events, emails, phone calls and most importantly when they become customers that are thrilled to do business with you- you will have some huge advantages over other businesses in Northwest Arkansas.
3. Free Leverage (YES- FREE):
A Critical part of Local Trade Partners is our interest-free lines of credit (LOC) Our LOC's are NOT CREDIT CARD or BANK LOANS- Yes- our lines must be paid back- but you pay them back by trading your goods and services- not with cash (If you default- cash is required). Our job at Local Trade Partners is to help you get the trade sales that you need to repay your line. Imagine your local bank helping you get sales to pay back your mortage!

My name is Rolf Wilkin. I have been in business in beautiful Northwest Arkansas for 22 years. For years I have been looking for a local and professional Trade/ Barter Exchange that I could join so I could sell more pizzas. I own Eureka Pizza with 9 area locations and I love selling pizzas. If I have some extra capacity- I want to trade my pizzas for things my business and family needs and wants.
I couldn't find a local Trade Exchange, that's why I started Local Trade Partners. My goal is to build a strong and dynamic local professional trade group- a group of local people who make and sell things that we all need and want.
I have teamed up with local Trade Brokers Rich Creyer and Tracy Carter. Rich and Tracy have the energy, vision and enthusiasm to help you grow your business. We're about helping grow our local economy by building on the strengths of our local business community.
