Happy Holidays from the Staff at IMS Barter

We wish you, your families, employees, and business partners a very happy holiday.

We appreciate the attention you've given IMS Barter throughout 2025, as we celebrated our 40th year in business. You've trusted your broker to connect you with other services in the network and given your valuable time to browse the IMS website and shop the Marketplace—all in the name of supporting your livelihood.

Through these editor's choice articles we've written and republished from BarterGrams (a blast from the past, for longtime clients!), we continue to make efforts to best educate clients on how to leverage our trade exchange as a means to grow business. If you're keeping up with our presence in the news, it's easy to see how barter can impact multiple industries—dentists, hairstylists, chiropractors, and more.

2025 also reintroduced an IMS Holiday Expo to the Las Vegas market! IMS staff hosted clients at the Siena Golf Club to connect, shop, and celebrate the holidays together. This wasn't the only expo put on this year—along with Holiday Expos in nearly every IMS market, we held our first online expo, the Midwest Spring Virtual Expo, and drew attention to the marketplace products our clients were selling via the IMS website.

In the new year, IMS is intent on providing great service and building trust with our clients. We're grateful to serve each and every account. Your broker is your tie to the IMS network. Please continue to reach out with any type of concern, whether it be regarding updating your directory listings on the IMS website or looking for a new service. The mission of IMS is to minimize your cash expenses, attract new customers, and increase your sales.
