Business: Morlife
Owner: Warren Stewart
This Bartercard review was sent in by Warrant Stewart, founder and owner of Morlife.
“We started Morlife on the Gold Coast 14 years ago to formulate simple food solutions with the full spread and density of nutrients. Too much of our food today is nutrient hollow and with so many mixed messages it can be a challenge finding quality foods – Morlife creates functional products that establish credibility through extensive research and a holistic approach to each formulation.
We started off pretty small scale, but four years ago when it came time to expand, we decided to use Bartercard to assist with funding the $4 million new premises. We used the network to purchase concreting , shelves, desks, tiling, plants, a security system and more, and saved around 40% of the cash cost.
In addition to the cash savings, Bartercard reaches a new marketplace to attract extra customers both within the exchange and the cash economy to create brand recognition. Each time we sell our products to a retailer on Bartercard or create a partnership with someone willing to recommend Morlife to their customers we receive exposure in the cash market; it’s a win win.
For example, there is a Bartercard member in New Zealand who bought $3,000 worth of our chocolate coated Blueberries which he is selling in his shop to cash paying customers. We’ve also created partnerships with health practitioners who endorse our products resulting in more cash sales all around as our reputation grows.
At the end of the day, Bartercard assists with sales and puts more money back in your pocket to supplement your business while opening up many doors through new customers and networking.”
