Top 4 Trades of March

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 March were:

Radio Advertising

As you know, advertising is extremely important, especially now. Have you considered radio advertising? Well you should. Even though radio advertising costs can range from $200 - $5,000 (cash mind you) a week depending on your location, it however, on average, sees that per every $1 spent in radio advertising, advertisers see $10 in sales. So if you invest that amount using your trade, you will not only be saving cash but bringing MORE cash in! Contact one of our Media Specialists today to see what radio opportunities are available in your area!

14ft Trailer

Are you in need of a trailer to haul your work equipment or even your boat? Talk to your IMS Broker. If you do a quick search, you will see that trailers of this size can easily run you from $1,700 to $10K depending on what you need it for. Save your cash and use trade the next time you are in the market for a trailer.

Plumbing Supplies

Whether you are remodeling or involved in new construction, consider getting your plumbing supplies or new fixtures on trade! Replacing or installing new fixtures or even small sections of piping (for a bathtub, sink, or toilet for example) could cost you between $450 and $1,800 CASH per fixture depending on if its a rough-in or a full install. The national average for a major plumbing project is about $4.50 per square foot of construction area. So keep that cash in your pocket and call your IMS broker first before you start your next plumbing project!

Fork Lifts

You need many things for your business and as you know you can get most if not all of your basic business needs on trade. But did you know that you can get some bigger, more serious equipment for your business too? They’re not the most common trade purchases, but if you let your broker know that you are looking for bigger equipment, like a forklift, they can be on the lookout for you.

Isn't it amazing what trade can do for you?
