Top 4 Trades of July

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 July were:

Spas

Spa tubs make a great addition for both leisure and health. However, the price of one can cost more than what you were expecting. The price of a new one can range from just $300 (inflatable) to over $16,000 (premium/luxury). Not only that, the average cost to install a spa ranges from $500 to $8,000, depending on the model of spa and if it's in-ground or above. Let IMS ease your money worries about your new spa! We have clients that specialize not only in spas, but also in spa installation! Call us today to get the spa of your dreams installed!

Radio Advertising

As you know that, 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!

Landscaping

Whether you have a residential property or a commercial property, IMS can help you find the perfect service for your lawn care and landscape needs. We have hundreds of IMS members who provide mowing, landscaping, tree services, weed and pest control, trimming services, and so much more.

PPE Masks

With more mask mandates in place it’s important to not only protect yourself and your employees, but also your customers. The IMS Marketplace has PPE gear such as masks available to purchase on trade. If you need to bulk order protective gear or cleaning supplies, contact your IMS Broker and they will be able to help.
