BARTERCARD NZ TURNS 30!

摘要

A successful business doesn't happen by chance; planning, preparation and perseverance play their part. This year Bartercard NZ turns 30. While many businesses have struggled since the beginning of this decade and through the global pandemic, Bartercard NZ is fortunate to play in a niche market and has managed to ride the turbulent storm better than others by supporting SMEs through their ecosystem, offering an alternative virtual currency, known as Trade Dollars. "This is my best advertising platform during Covid-19; if it weren't for them, my business surely wouldn't have stayed afloat. I mean, what other card loans you money then finds you the business to pay it off? Bartercard members are loyal too; it's more like being with whanau than work colleagues." - Marlaina Curtis, MK Spice Bartercard, founded in 1991 on the Gold Coast, Australia, is the world's largest trade exchange and New Zealand's leading business trading currency, attracting new customers and increasing sales. The concept allows businesses to exchange goods and services without using cash. It started in New Zealand in 1992 and now has 10,000 cardholders turning over eight to 10 million trade dollars a month.
