About ITEX:
Business owners join ITEX as an additional means to grow and promote their business, sell idle inventory and reduce cash expenses. As a matter of fact, on average, a new Tulsa/Kansas City/Oklahoma City businesses joins ITEX every three days. ITEX Corporation (OTC: ITEX) is a Nationwide, Membership Trading Network of small and medium size businesses that will bring their business to you. ITEX members receive new, incremental business by selling their available skill & time, excess inventory and products & services to other ITEX members – for which they receive ITEX Dollars. The ITEX dollars earned from these new clients can then be used to purchase goods and services with any ITEX member in our 23,000 member-national network, and do not have to be used directly back with the ITEX member that purchased from you. Thus, ITEX eliminates all the hassles and potential issues associated with one on one bartering. ITEX has been doing business in Tulsa/Kansas City/Branson/Ft. Smith/Joplin/Wichita/Oklahoma City for over 30 years and has over 600 business members throughout theses cities. Some of the categories we currently have members in, include restaurants, auto service repair centers, advertising opportunities, dentists, orthodontists, computer & network repair, commercial equipment repair, web site development, social media planners, carpet cleaning, commercial printers, cartridge refills, plumbing, painters, electricians, jewelers, commercial and residential cleaners, salons, spas, etc. Each month, we grow new business members that are implementing ITEX into their business marketing plans.

Here are more details on why businesses should barter:
The fundamental idea that makes ITEX so powerful in benefiting you financially from ITEX transactions is Leverage. Members that understand this concept, we call it “Getting it!”, stay with ITEX for decades and do thousands in ITEX dollar transactions every year.
What is the actual cash cost for you make an additional sale? Not the cost to keep your business open day to day. The actual cost to make a new sale, replacing the inventory, etc. –costs directly related to the sale. Called “variable” costs by accountants.
Because your new sales to ITEX members are in addition to your ongoing cash sales they are considered ‘incremental’ in nature. In other words there is a cash ‘cost’ into each ITEX dollar equal to the actual cost the business experiences when making a new sale + the ITEX transaction fee of 12% (6% on the sale plus 6% on the buy). Knowing what that cash cost is establishes the Leverage the member has when buying with ITEX dollars.
Example #1 - A printer has a cash cost of $350 for paper and ink to print a $1000 job for an ITEX member. The printer’s total cash cost will be $350 + $120 ITEX Fees = $470. But he can buy something that would have cost him $1000 cash! A discount or savings of 53%!
Example #2 – A chiropractor takes an ITEX member and performs $1000 in services. The chiropractor’s total cash cost will be $0 + $120 ITEX Fees = $120. The new patient is in addition to, not instead of, a cash customer. He can buy something with ITEX dollars with an 88% discount!
Leverage = Actual Cash Cost of a New Sale + ITEX Transaction Fees

*In our example variable costs are those that you can use ITEX dollars to offset.
