Letter from the President

Dear Prospective Member,

I’ve owned and operated the Arizona Trade Exchange since 1999, but was involved in the barter industry before that. As a sports bar owner, I joined a trade exchange and was immediately fascinated by the concept. I was able to conserve my cash, offset expenses and fill empty seats. It just made good business sense!

It has never been smarter for a business to barter. At this very moment, there are businesses in the Arizona Trade Exchange that are waiting to do business with you. All you have to do is agree to take their trade dollars in exchange for your services and they’ll run right past your competition to do business with you. Maybe you don’t need the services of the dentist that comes to you, but you will certainly find services that you need within our directory that includes more than 700 diverse businesses – from auto mechanics to restaurants and accountants to veterinarians. More importantly, when you do a great job for one of our members, they become your word-of-mouth advertiser in the “cash world.”

The team at Arizona Trade Exchange has spent more than a decade building the best trade exchange in the Southwest by focusing on two things – customer service and value for your trade dollar. Our brokers are among the most knowledgeable in the industry, and they make it their business to know your business. Our commission structure is built entirely on when you spend your trade dollar, so we are highly motivated to learn just what it is that you need.

Arizona Trade Exchange members earn and spend their trade dollar 50% faster than the industry average. There are reasons for that. First, we built our trading community in a small geographic area, keeping our members close together so they could find more opportunities to spend their trade dollars. Second, we do not recruit businesses into our trade exchange unless there is a need for the service they provide. Finally, we give our members more ways to spend their trade dollars than any other trade exchange in the Southwest. Our members rave about our Annual Holiday Trade Fair where they have access to a vast array of retail merchandise perfect for Holiday gift giving. Last year’s inventory totaled $750,000!

I want to thank you for taking the time to explore our website and learn more about barter and the Arizona Trade Exchange. We know that you will have a choice when you do decide that bartering your services through an exchange is a good business decision. That’s why no one works harder than we do in our commitment to our members and to our ethics. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Respectfully,

Rob Miller
President
