There are many good reasons why individuals and businesses earn and exchange TippingCircle points.
For Individuals
EARN POINTS: Earn points by referring friends to TippingCircle, tipping a bucket for a fundraiser, and accomplishing other achievements while using our apps.
EXCHANGE WITH FRIENDS: TippingCircle's apps allow you to exchange points with friends, family, and anyone worldwide.
REDEEM POINTS: Use your points to buy products and services to enhance your standard of living or give to those in need by participating in our social help network by giving points.
For Businesses
INCREASE SALES: We market your business to other exchange member businesses in the online member directory, weekly email and through our Trade Brokers. Your business gets incremental sales from buyers looking for barter opportunities within the exchange network.
NEW CASH SALES: The number one source of advertising for small businesses is "word of mouth." If you do a good job for an exchange member, they will refer their cash-paying friends, customers, family and other businesses to you. Additionally, barter revenue from the incremental sales that we will bring you can be used for radio, television, print, direct mail, outdoor, online campaigns and other types of advertising to attract more cash customers and build your brand.
IMPROVE CASH FLOW: You can improve cash flow by increasing sales and reducing costs. Participating in a barter exchange does both! Barter enables you to pay for the products and services you need with what you have. When you hire a contractor, paint your office, or buy office supplies with barter dollars, you conserve your cash to pay other expenses. And, when you purchase using barter dollars, you pay for it with revenue from new sales - sales that you probably would never have had.
MOVE EXCESS INVENTORY AND FILL IDLE TIME: Every business owner has excess inventory, production, capacity or appoint ment time. That unscheduled appointment today has zero value tomorrow. When you join our exchange, we provide you with new business to put your excess to use in profitable ways. We accomplish this by matching your product or service with businesses looking to purchase them on trade.
WHOLESALE BUYING POWER: With barter, the actuall cost of the products you purchase on trade is the wholesale cost of your barter dollars earned. Making sales with built-in profits makes the cost of your purchases more economical on trade. When you join our exchange, you open the door to a new, cash-free way of handling every day business and personal expenses.
PROVIDES A COMPETITIVE EDGE: Exchange members will patronize your business over the competition because your barter affiliation is an incentive to do business with you. Barter attracts new customers to your business, without affecting the existing cash sales already being generated by your company.
NO BAD DEBT: We eliminate collections. When you make a barter sale to an exchange member, you process the transaction using a touch tone phone or online postings to verify that the buyer has the barter dollars available to pay for their purchase.
COLLECT RECEIVABLES: A small business might find it difficult to pay you the cash they owe, but would welcome the opportunity to fulfill their obligation with payment in products or services. Exchange members can then offer these goods and services to members for barter dollars which get deposited to your barter account for the balance you were owed. Your noncollectable receivable just became revenue that can be spent on a variety of business expenses.
EMPLOYEES INCENTIVES: By using exchange member dentists, you can provide a much appreciated benefit to employees without having to pay cash for it. Barter is also a great way to offer contest prizes, bonuses, wellness programs and tickets - all available to you without using cash, and all based on your cost of the incremental business that we have brought you.
Increase your buying power with revenue from new sales and conserve your cash. Use your new found revenue to pay for the products and services you want.
