What is the $144 trade contribution and why is it required?
Every James River Trade Exchange member is required to contribute $144 trade dollars per year ($12 trade per month) as these trade dollars go into a specific fund which allows JRTE to participate as a trade member itself. The trade dollars which are collected are used to pay for services and products that benefit the trade exchange and its members as whole such as:
- JRTE Website
- Co-op Advertising Reimbursement
- Member Referral Rewards
- Quarterly Socials
- Office Needs
Using trade dollars for expenses like these keeps cash costs down,
which keeps overhead at a minimum thus reducing the costs to you,
the member. This practice allows JRTE to offer the lowest membership
fees and commission fees in the area.
