The Flow of Trade Dollars through Trade Exchange Canada

You're probably used to reading about what you could be doing as a member of TEC.  We promote members looking for additional business through trade, run special offers and announce our newest members.
This week, we've decided that we should share some of what you are doing as members of TECThere has been some exciting trading going on lately and we want to share some of it with you. The format of this newsletter is a bit different. We created a visual chart to show the flow of the Trade $ as it moves through the exchange. The best place for that is at the bottom of the newsletter, so head down there if you want to take a look at the flow of the $.
Read on further to hear some great member accolades and of course, what events are coming up for us.


Member Accolades!

We received this email from Sherry Cote, owner of A Vista Villa Bed & Barbecue. We just had to share it with the rest of you. Way to Go Seamus O'Hearn!
MORE accolades ... just love the attitude of fellow members!

Shamus from Shamrock Electric responded to both of my requests for TEC work within the day of being notified.   The last job on Thursday, Shamus ran into a huge problem with installing one of the ceiling fixtures and had to crawl around an insulation laden attic for quite some time to get everything working.    He didn't so much as grimace (although I felt very badly for him), just kept "whistling while he worked" with an amazing CAN DO attitude.   At the end of the day, the long list of things that I had asked for had not been completed because of the troublesome fixture.    Not to worry, despite the next day was a holiday (Good Friday), not only did he come back - he brought another electrician so that my downtime without electricity would be minimized!    What a guy!    Thank you thank you Shamus!   They were in and out of here and again, I hope I get the opportunity to pamper he and his wife some time soon ...

We're always wanting to hear more great trading stories? Let us know. email your story to us: david@tectrade.ca
Check out these members who have connected their goods and services to turn their excess inventory into money in the bank.

Dollar Sign

While the chart below this article shows some of the recent activity some of our members have had visually, it does not tell the whole story of the trade $ journey. As you can see if you take a look at the movement of the currency, when you trade within the exchange, whether you're purchasing or selling, you're connecting with other business owners who be drawn to do business with you and will recommend you to their associates.

Listen to what Paul Beauchemin from ecentric has to say about a few of his recent experiences:
The first few months of our involvement with the Trade Exchange have been very active both as a seller and a buyer.

We recently completed a great project with Doug Illman of CrocTalk. Doug's website was very out of date and was simply not generating the interest that CrocTalk deserves. Doug contracted ecentric to create a new interactive website, with Flash animations, video, image galleries and an integrated blog, for Doug to keep the world updated with what's happening.  Be sure to check them out at www.croctalk.com.

We have recently also been engaged to complete website redesigns for Dustin at King of Floors and Warren at Accelerate Communications. We are certainly pleased with the level of interest at this point.

These projects have in turn allowed us to complete some fairly good sized renovation projects at our house. Mike at Alanridge Construction and Seamus at Shamrock Electric have been great to work with.

We are certainly excited about our involvement with the Trade Exchange and look forward to meeting more of the members and hopefully being able to help them with their digital marketing and design requirements.
