We are a 26 year old group of hundreds of Alaskan businesses and thousands of Alaskan cardholders. We use trade dollars when conducting trade business. To grow our member's businesses while improving their lifestyles. We also trade with more than 1 million businesses, located in the lower-48, and with more than 250 thousand businesses, located outside of the United States. How many Alaskan businesses do we serve? Less than one thousand. We made the wise decision years ago to be insanely valuable to a small number of businesses, instead of marginally valuable to thousands.

Here are two examples, of why hundreds of Alaskan businesses barter within EOA: Selling Example: A 300 room hotel running at a 80% annual occupacy with a $200 average room-night rate, still has $4.38 million dollars of potential revenue that is not being realized. By bartering just 10% of this available inventory through EOA, the hotel can gain more than $400 thousand dollars worth of products and services without displacing any cash business. And, the same potential saved revenue applies to almost any business! Buying Example: You are about to write a check or provide a credit card to pay for a company or personal expense. The selling business stops you and says "Wait, instead of your cash I will take credit for a future purchase with your company." Would you say "No, I don't want the discount that paying with my products and services provides me, nor do I want another customer." Or, would you happily say "Sure!" Especially since EOA trades are easy legal, and not one-on-one!

Trade Dollars are a form of currency. their face-value is equal to the US dollar. Trade Dollars are used to record purchases and sells between members. Purchases are deducted from buyer's accounts and sales are credited to seller's accounts, and are recorded pursuant to the Trade Procedures, Rules and Regulations of EOA, and that of the IRS. Because every Trade Dollar event is recorded, EOA trades do not need to be one-on-one events, but can be part of thousands of intermingled purchases and sales, which take place over time and with other businesses. EOA trades are not obligated to purchase from those they sell to, or to sell to those they buy from. Within our trading system, trade dollars are used like cash. They do not expire, and are secure, as their value is backed by more than 1 million businesses worldwide, who accept them.

Any legal US business which has unsold time, or unsold inventory will greatly benefit from trading within a local, organized barter organization, such as EOA. Organized barter is a powerful tool for strengthening the finances of your company. The wise use of barter will build your profitability, protect your balance sheet, and improve cash flow. We will also show you how to use barter for acquisition financing or expansion capital. Since organized barter sales generally represent add-on business that you would not of otherwise had, the gross profit from these sales usually goes straight to your bottom line. Moreover, And, using barter to maintain higher levels of production can increase margins on non-barter sales as well. Organized Barter offers a unique solution to the problem of overstocked or stale inventory, and can protect your balance sheet from costly write downs due to deep discounting or liquidation costs and resulting lower sales prices. Alaskan business owners have been using this powerful tool for more than 24-years. In addition to increasing profitability and protecting against inventory write downs, organized barter can substantially improve your cash flow. The use of barter allows you to substitute trade for at least a portion of your normal cash outlays when purchasing needed goods and services. As a penny saved IS a penny earned. Alaskan sales fluctuate, demand rises and falls with our seasons, customers occasionally cancel at the last minute. It may be impossible or impractical to cut back staff and production to match. This is where organized barter comes into play. It allows you to trade your excess inventory and unsold time for goods and services that you use in your business, which you are currently paying cash for. Alaskan business owners strive to keep inventories to a minimum to avoid high carrying costs and the risks of obsolescence. Organized barter helps businesses operate at their optimum capacity to maximize profit margins and to minimize their lost sales of “perishable” goods and services.

EOA always has a list of businesses waiting to join, as we limit the number of similar offerings and those with little or no demaind for what they offer. And then only businesses that: • Are already a successful company, with a positive cash flow and existing customer demand. • Have the ability, the capacity, and the desire to acquire new customers. • Are ambitious, and want to continue to grow their company. • Are entrepreneurial, and willing to try new things to achieve their business, and/or personal objectives.

In EOA transactions, the purchasing member’s account is debited, the selling member’s account is credited, and the full transaction details are recorded by EOA and represented in both members’ account statements. There are many ways to buy & sell using EOA; on the marketplace, in-location, via the EOA mobile apps, or on the EOA Point of Sale web-based terminal, just to name a few. When members trade through EOA, they accumulate trade dollars which are banked in their EOA account. Members are able to purchase goods & services from any other member, and when they do so, they spend this balance – getting things they need without spending valuable cash. The innovation in this approach is that no two members have to have what each other need to make a deal – you do not have to purchase from a member that purchases from you. You can spend your trade dollars with more than a million companies, at any time – and these dollars never expire, so you can sell now, and buy with confidence later on.

We understand that for most business owners, this is a new concept and that it can take some time to get the hang-of-it. The good news. There are numerous videos, and articles on this website, which guide you on how to take the most advantage of EOA. Typically, several visits and calls with your assigned broker, is all that new members need to start taking advantage of their EOA membership.
