We’re always striving to make your Tradepay experience as seamless as possible, which is why we’ve put together some Tradepay tips to help you as you network, buy, and sell on our platform. If you’re still on the fence about signing up, we hope to earn your trust after you learn more about what we offer businesses of all shapes and sizes.
Top Reasons Businesses Use Tradepay
We knew that the concept of Tradepay was something special when it was born but we never considered the multitude of reasons that companies would join. Here are just a few to consider, whether you’ve joined or not.
New Business
If your business is in its infancy, Tradepay is a great place for small business promotions. You’ll be exposed to potentially thousands of customers and you can easily find the products and services you need to get started. Whether you need help with your start-up paperwork and need to stock the shelves, there’s a company out there that can help.
Little Capital
Whether your money is tied up in other projects or your bank account is a little light, Tradepay can help you stretch capital for small business. With our unique payment formula, you’ll be able to get almost double for your investment.
Poor or No Credit
If your business credit score isn’t exactly impressive, Tradepay can offer you a virtual currency line of credit. Trade Dollars are used to make each transaction. You can wait to make sales yourself to acquire Trade Dollars but if you’re in a hurry to make your first purchase, check out our interest-free options that are better than some of the best small business loans out there.
Marketing Opportunities
A successful business should never take a day off from marketing but the costs of getting the message out can add up. But Tradepay offers businesses the chance to network with an impressive number of prospects. Whether you just share information, strike a deal, or swap business advice, you’ll have a plethora of free marketing opportunities available.
Discounts
If you love a good bargain, you’re sure to find one that strikes your fancy on Tradepay. Whether it’s for your business, employees, or something entirely different, you’ll enjoy savings of almost 50% on products and services found on the platform. You can also take advantage of these discounts when selling. If you’re sitting heavy on inventory, you’ll be able to move it faster on Tradepay without sacrificing your investment.
Here’s How Tradepay Works
Tradepay is a B2B platform that allows businesses to make transactions using 60% cash and 40% virtual currency. After you make a sale, the cash is immediately transferred to your bank account while Trade Dollars, our virtual currency, is held in your Tradepay account.
When it’s time for you to make a purchase, you’ll pay with a credit card and your Trade Dollars. This model allows you plenty of opportunities for savings if you’re a buyer while providing sellers the opportunity to sell excess inventory or simply make more sales than they would have without the platform.
Make Your Profile Stand Out
Do you know how to write a business profile? If not, use the following as a guide. When you first sign up for Tradepay, you’ll have to fill out a profile. You’ll be asked a few basic questions, like the name of your business, your name, tax information, the type of business you are, and basic contact information.
While all of this information needs to be accurate, the most important aspect of your profile is the description you put for your business. This is essentially the sales magnet of your profile. If it’s not up to par, other businesses might skim right past you. Here’s how to write a business profile that gets noticed.
Tradepay Tips
Local Search
Tradepay caters to businesses all over the world but there is a local search feature that can help you find specific companies that can’t provide their product or service through the Internet. The next time you need to find a local caterer, plumber, or business consultant to meet with, try the local search window located at the top of the search page. Make sure that your location information is accurate if you’re hoping to pop up in local searches in your industry.
Trade Dollar Loans
Don’t let the lack of your first sale stop you from making your first purchase. One of our favorite Tradepay tips is to sign up for a Trade Dollar loan, which can give you up to $25,000 of virtual working capital to spend on promoting and growing your business.
Invites and Referrals
If you search for a business and notice there are a few local companies that are not yet on Tradepay, send them an invitation to join. If they happen to join because of your referral, both parties receive $50 in Trade Dollars! Remember, the more businesses there are on Tradepay, the easier it is to get what you need.
Get Creative
We don’t have too many rules on Tradepay. If you’re honestly representing yourself and play nice, we’re good! So, go ahead and get a little creative with what you offer on Tradepay. If you found a good deal on a product that you just don’t have room for in your shop, sell it on Tradepay. If there’s a new aspect to a service you offer that you’re curious about adding to your permanent menu, test it out on Tradepay first. Using Tradepay tips like this one can help grow your business tremendously.
Whether you’re brand new to our platform or one of our top sellers or buyers, we hope these Tradepay tips help you make the most out of your experience. If you have any questions or run into any hiccups along the way, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
