A Guaranteed Way To Have An Edge Over 
Your Competition
Written by Debbi Porter on March 12, 2020

You are taking valuable time out of your schedule to read this and I’m thinking you are here because you were intrigue by the title of this post. You want to know how you can have an edge over your competition. The first to adoption of any concept has a huge advantage. As a business owner, you want to be the first. If you implement this tool into your repertoire, you will have an edge that others don’t.

I don’t care what anyone says, it’s HARD to own a business. Owning a business is not for the faint of heart! Emiright?? 🙂 There’s always something that comes up. Gary Vee, entrepreneur extraordinaire and social media guru, says that you literally have to be willing to get up every morning and be ok with getting constantly punched in the face. The competition itself is often what throws the most punches, not to mention just operating your business day to day.  

Speaking of competition – I’m just going to get right to it. You are taking valuable time out of your schedule to read this. You want to know how you can have an edge over your competition. As I said, the first to adoption of any concept has a huge advantage. As a business owner, you want to be the first. If you implement this tool into your repertoire, you will have an edge that others don’t. When someone is getting a quote for a job from you as well as the guy down the street, he will pick you just because of this. Even if your price isn’t the lowest, you will still win. If you own a restaurant or a hotel or a golf course and you offer this, people will drive past other establishments just to buy from you. You will drive business to your door that would never have come to you before, just because of this. What is it?

Barter. Barter allows you to take your waste – your downtime and excess inventory – and turn it into things that you need or want. This is much better than having to pay out of your bank account! Aaaand because of BarterPay It Forward® you can instantly become a superhero when you choose to turn some of that waste into giving! Local charities will be grateful to you for your generosity and you don’t have to cough up your hard earned money to make a difference! So you will save sometimes significant amounts of money in your business and personal life and it makes you a do-gooder and world changer if you want it to! It’s a win-win for everyone.  

Speaking of BarterPay It Forward; it’s an incredible movement. We hope you watch the videos on the home page because they’re absolutely worth your time and they explain the whole thing in further detail.  

So, here are action steps you can take to get what you need and guarantee an edge over your competition:

Go to www.barterpay.ca and become a member. You will be assigned a personal broker, a concierge of sorts, to look after you and get you what you need. He or she will start sending you brand new business you’ve never had before and then turn around and help you spend the credit from that new business on things you need or want.
Now enjoy having the edge!
There’s more. Everyone wants to be a superhero…I’m assuming! Who wouldn’t?!

Meet A Regular Everyday Superhero
Written by Debbi Porter on June 22th 2020
In the fall of 2019, we met a regular guy named John who owns a nursery in the Niagara Region. Upon, having a chat with him, we found out he was sitting on around $600,000 worth of plants going into the winter. Of course the next question was, "What will you do with all those plants?" And his answer was, "They go to a dump pile." That is just par for the course every single year at the end of the season....plants are ground up and composted.

John just happened to come to our BarterPay It Forward charity launch in June 2019 and was inspired by the way BPIF could turn business's extra inventory and downtime into giving to charities...and he wanted to figure out a way that his plants could be used for good. Under regular circumstances, of course if he showed up at his favourite charity and tried to donate thousands of plants, they would be a little overwhelmed and wonder what on earth they were going to do with thousands of plants. And they for sure would have a difficult time using the plants to meet the needs of the community they serve.

Can you predict what happened next? Our own John, the CEO of BarterPay and BarterPay It Forward, had a face that lit up like a Christmas tree, as he explained that we could run a huge plant sale for them and use our 'bartering machine' to turn plants into donations that charities can actually use. We often picture it like someone feeding one end of the machine with the items, in this case plants, and the machine spits Barter Credits out the other end, now ready to be used!  

Well, within 2 weeks, we shocked John and his Willowbrook Nursery team by selling over $40,000 in plants to BarterPay members all over Ontario. People who would not normally purchase from them bought truckloads of plants. John, then turned around and took the Barter Credits from the sale of the plants and donated them to BarterPay It Forward Foundation and we were able to gift those to charities across Canada!  

So, plants that were headed for a dump pile were 'magically' put through a machine that turned them into giving!  

A huge shoutout to John Langendoen and his team for being real life superheroes!

Are You Ready To 
Be A Superhero?
Written by Debbi Porter on May 17th 2019
Wow, thank you so much for clicking on this!! We cannot contain our excitement about what is happening here at BarterPay It Forward! Why? Because this movement is going to touch every area of life! We know it. We have already seen it work so far with $2 million dollars going from BarterPay It Forward to charities across Canada!

If you are passionate about animals, you can make an impact here. If you are convicted to help people with mental health issues, you belong here. If you are crazy about the environment, or babies, or protection for women, or teen moms, physical health, and…and….this is for you. BarterPay It Forward touches everything. It can impact every part of life if you want it to and with the help of amazing people like you who are choosing to join the movement, we can literally change the charitable world and impact it by the millions!

Are you ready to be a superhero? Do you own a business or know someone who does? Imagine running your business while being a superhero at the same time…by still doing exactly what you’re doing right now. You own a bakery and not everything sells 100 percent of the time so you take that extra food, sell it through the network of thousands of businesses who are part of BarterPay® (and trust me, your baked goods will sell because we drive the business to your door) and donate whatever the amount is to BarterPay It Forward® and we give it to your local charities. Boom, you’re a superhero. Oh ya, and you get a tax receipt. Cool, right?

“But,” you say, “I want it to go to mental health because I have a family member who needs help and I’m passionate about that.” No problem, you can choose that category to drive the funds to.

You own a restaurant, or a golf course, or a hotel, a spa, any service business. You have empty tables, tee times, beds. That lunch hour goes by and is gone forever. That tee time expires and it won’t come back. That empty bed last night was never filled and you can’t reverse time to get anything from it. But now you can give. You have the ability to take empty space and time and turn it into giving! And in the meantime, open up your doors to thousands of business owners from all over Canada who might never have heard of you before, coming to your place and enjoying what you have to offer.

These are new customers. New customers you didn’t have to work for. They literally show up at your door and they help fill in those empty spots and generate instant value that then is donated and charities can use it to renovate, to do printing, to buy new beds, to fix their roof, to buy things to sell at their auctions, galas, fundraisers so they can hire more counsellors or buy supplies, food, ….the list is endless. All because there’s now a system in place to turn idle inventory, excess time and space that literally every business has and turn it into giving.

It’s an incredible movement. We hope you watch the videos on the home page because they’re absolutely worth your time and they explain the whole thing in further detail.

So, here are action steps you can take to becoming a superhero:

If you own a business, go and click here for more information.
