For more than three years, TradeFirst member Christopher Koulouvaris has been putting the power of barter to work for his business in Oakland Park, Florida. By strategically using his TradeFirst account for a wide variety of needs, Christopher has been able to preserve cash, expand what his business can afford, and build strong relationships within the TradeFirst network.

How Christopher Uses TradeFirst

Christopher relies on TradeFirst trade & barter services for an impressive range of day‑to‑day and project‑based needs, including:

• Flower delivery

• Construction services

• And “everything in between” to support ongoing business operations

Instead of spending cash, these purchases are made using Trade Dollars earned from providing his own products and services to other members. This keeps cash in the bank while still allowing his business to grow, improve, and stay competitive.

A Consistently Positive Experience

Throughout the relationship, Christopher has seen a high level of consistency and professionalism from the TradeFirst team. He highlights several key strengths that keep him coming back:

• Exceptional product delivery and service execution – jobs are completed as promised

• Timeliness – projects and orders are handled quickly and reliably

• Clear communication – updates and coordination are handled smoothly

• Fair valuation in trade – he feels confident that the value he receives matches the value he provides

Christopher also gives special recognition to Nancy in the TradeFirst Media & Brokerage team, noting that her professionalism, responsiveness, and ease to work with have made every transaction straightforward and stress‑free.
