Schrock Innovations Signs on With TradeBank

I signed the final paperwork today on a deal that should prove to be very interesting. Schrock Innovations is now accepting the TradeBank card for website development services. TradeBank is a barter system that uses “trade dollars” as a substitute currency so that businesses can trade their services for other services they need.

In many other barter systems, it can be difficult to seal a trade deal because two people need to have products and services which they are each interested in. TradeBank solves that problem with their “trade dollars.” For example, if Schrock Innovations develops a website for a TradeBank client, that client can pay Schrock in “trade dollars” which are deposited into a quasi-cash account just like at a bank.

Within 24 hours of signing on with TradeBank we have inked a deal for one website and have a solid lead on a second one. It is almost like having an online business manager seeking out customers for us!

Once we have completed the website job we landed, if Schrock Innovations needs a service offered by another TradeBank member (accounting services for example) we can pay them using the “trade dollars” we have in our account from the development of the website.

When I was first approached about this by Aubyn Fowler, the TradeBank of Omaha Broker, I was a bit skeptical. I didn’t really think we would see very much “trade dollar” income and I was concerned that there were not enough local TradeBank business members to provide a nice selection of merchants with which we could spend our trade dollars.

But my worries were soon laid to rest as we have earned more than $2,000 trade dollars from one deal alone. Naturally, we then started looking around for a place to spend the company’s new-found resource.

In a matter of hours we found a custom marketing company in Wichita, Kansas that designs pens, mugs and the like. We found a new company that will trade alarm monitoring, and we located a local vehicle repair center that we can trade out vehicle repair labor with.

The best part is that we don’t really have to do the leg work on the trades wither. Our Broker, Aubyn takes calls all day long from people looking for things they need. She spreads the word about our development services for us and we reap the rewards.

If you are a business owner and you are not a member of TradeBank I would STRONGLY suggest you join. Its an awesome opportunity. If you want some additional information drop me an email and I can send a brochure your way.
