BARBECUE TANK
EXCHANGE PROGRAM
DEALER
INFORMATION
The Program
Retail
customers “buy-in” or join the Tank Traders®
Exchange Program by purchasing one full Tank Traders®
tank from your location. When that tank is empty, they return to your
location and trade it in for another full tank - for only the cost of
the propane. No waiting in line to have their BBQ tank filled and they
receive a clean, certified tank every time.

will be pleased to work with you to develop and maintain your Tank Traders®
customer base. We will provide brochures for distribution and feature
each of your locations on our Tank Traders®
website.

with each cage.

Delivery
and Service
Tank Traders®
will provide regularly scheduled deliveries of tanks based on consumer
demand and volume requirements of each location. Our customer service
representative will remove all empty cylinders, refresh supplies and ensure
the cages, signage and surrounding area is kept clean and maintained.
After the initial purchase of one full cage of tanks, our Tank Traders®
Service Representative will make regularly scheduled visits to review
your inventory, replenish your supply of full propane tanks, remove empty
traded tanks and any tank cores you have accumulated.
Education
and Training
Tank Traders® will provide product knowledge
training to all staff as required. This will include the benefits and
features of the Tank Traders® program and answers
to some common questions regarding the program.
We believe the Tank Traders® program will give you not only the opportunity to acquire new customers by providing a new innovative product, but also the means to compete in the marketplace with service stations offering propane filling services. Customarily a consumer would make a one time purchase of a BBQ tank and then regularly visit a propane dealer to have it filled. The Tank Traders® program has been designed to generate repeat business, return traffic and bring that customer to you.
We look forward to including you on our Tank Traders® team.
