TradeFirst Turns Business Goals into Memorable Experiences

When it comes to travel planning, Kiran makes it simple, stress-free, and seamless. Her attention to detail and personal touch have made a world of difference for us.

For the past two years, Kiran has helped our team plan and book our annual employee gatherings in Las Vegas—and both trips were absolutely perfect! From securing fantastic accommodations at The D Hotel and Circa Resort to managing every group detail, she made the process easy from start to finish.

What made it even better? We used our TradeFirst trade dollars to fund the trip. That meant we could reward and celebrate our employees with an unforgettable experience—without dipping into our cash budget. It was smart business planning with big benefits: happy employees, strengthened team connections, and zero financial stress.

TradeFirst members like Nichelle are discovering that trade opens doors to opportunities cash alone can’t. From travel and events to everyday operating needs, the network makes it easy to do more while spending less.

Everyone had a great time, and the experience brought our staff closer together.
