BXI was established in 1960, and maintains the largest trade organization in the world. The BXI trade credit, which is equal to a US. dollar, is recognized and respected throughout the barter community. Barter is the perfect tool to enter new markets and save cash at the same time. As a BXI member , you will be able to increase your purchasing power and decrease your cash outlay at the same time. As BXI continues to grow, the variety of goods and services that are available to members also grows.

Barter is simply business as usual with an unusual twist. Instead of using cash to buy the items you need, you use trade credits that you earn by selling your product or service to other trade club members. Trade can act as a terrific vehicle to supplement your business. The way to determine how much trade you can accept is to calculate how many items that you are now presently paying for in cash can be substituted for trade.

By using barter, you are expanding the normal limits that are placed on your business for reasons of location or the cost of entering distant markets such as  advertising. It is very unlikely that business you receive through the use of barter  would ever be available to you through any other channel. Barter members are willing to travel much farther to obtain needed items from other barter members first. If you are not a member, they would have no way of locating you.

"These days barter talks and money walks. If you've got something to trade, join the booming barter economy...With cash tight and loans almost impossible to get, more and more companies and individuals are turning to barter as a way
to beat the recession."

Organized trade is the opportunity for a business person to pay overhead with the wholesale value of his product or service, rather than with retail cash income. It is a means of reducing some portion of cash outlay by perhaps half the amount. Maybe no other single marketing effort can accomplish as much.

The best part is this: your purchasing power with the other merchants is equal to the retail value of the goods sold in the trade transaction, while your actual cash outlay is limited to your cost before mark-up, and maybe less when dealing with excess inventory.
