If you own an entertainment venue then you know that once your overheads are covered any additional revenue is almost 100% profit – unfortunately it is not always easy to attract this additional business. BarterZone Trade Dollars gives you the opportunity to trade your spare capacity for things you need, offset your existing cash expenses, expand your promotional activities or simply enhance your own lifestyle.

An Example Business

Now imagine filling a certain amount of those same spaces every day with new sales. Using the revenue generated from these new sales you could offset your existing cash expenses, buy prizes for customers, reward staff,create incentive schemes or embark on new advertising programs to generate more cash business.
