Top 4 Trades of February

At the beginning of each new month, we like to go back and see what the Top 4 Trades were from the previous month. This way, we know what our clients are looking for and how trade is helping them in their daily lives.

The Top 4 Trades from February were:

Exterior Home Improvements - Windows

According to Home Advisor, the national average cost to replace windows is about $650 per window, or between $200 and $1,800. Replacing windows on a three-bedroom house runs from $3,000 to $10,000. Labor alone runs $100 to $300 each. Count the windows in your home or in your office - we bet you are seeing dollar sign after dollar sign add up as you count. Instead of using your cash, use your trade!

Memorabilia

If you are a collector of jerseys or signed baseballs or footballs, signed portraits and photographs and posters, you know it can get pricey. Did you know that the IMS Marketplace has a MASSIVE memorabilia section? You can see for yourself here. So before you use your cash, use your trade.

Advertising

Advertising is one of the best things to utilize your trade dollars on, especially as a small business owner. We can connect your business to advertising services specializing in direct mail, radio, newspapers, magazines, email blasts, and more. If you are looking to increase your marketing - especially if you are reopening your business soon, IMS can help you.

Screen Printing

Whether you need new t-shirts for uniforms or for a fundraiser or other custom apparel for your business, screen printing is always a great option. But if you are trying to keep your business costs down, you may think this necessary item isn’t feasible with your budget. That’s why you should call your IMS Broker and talk to them to see if there are any screen printers in the IMS networking! You’ll be able to save your cash and get important custom apparel for your company!
