Top 4 Trades of June 2026

The heat of June brings out the great trades in our clients. Of course, purchasing with trade is worthwhile at any time of the year if it means cash savings! In June, our top trades included vehicle purchases, in-room cable advertising, interior painting, and hot tub purchases.

Personal vehicles serve as reliable daily transportation for commuting, running errands, and family use, while a dedicated business vehicle is reserved for work-related travel. Personal vehicles can offer greater comfort, safety features, or recreational capabilities that better fit the owner's lifestyle, such as road trips or outdoor activities. Purchasing a personal vehicle can help separate business and personal expenses, simplifying budgeting and record keeping while ensuring the owner has dependable transportation both on and off the clock.

Investing in in-room cable advertising capitalizes on the start of peak summer travel, when hotels see increased occupancy from vacationers, business travelers, and wedding guests. This is a chance to reach travelers who are actively exploring local restaurants, attractions, retail stores, and services during their stay, making them more likely to make immediate purchases. For many businesses, June is an ideal time to promote seasonal offerings, summer sales, outdoor activities, and limited-time events as demand begins to rise. Repeated exposure to this advertising captivates your audience in a relaxed environment, helping build brand awareness and influence purchasing decisions throughout a guest's visit.

Interior painting is ideal to accomplish in June because the warm, lower-humidity weather helps paint cure efficiently, leading to a smoother, longer-lasting finish. For business owners, it's also a practical opportunity to refresh office spaces during a seasonal slowdown or while employees are taking summer vacations, minimizing disruptions to your daily operations. A newly painted home or workplace creates a cleaner, brighter environment that can boost morale, make a stronger impression on guests, and enhance comfort for those occupying the space. Completing interior painting in June allows businesses and homeowners to tackle the project before the busy fall season, avoiding scheduling delays and preparing their space well in advance of year-end activities.

Take advantage of purchasing hot tubs in June to get the most out of seasonal promotions and available inventory before demand increases later in the year. Buying early also provides plenty of time to complete installation before cooler weather arrives, ensuring the hot tub is ready to enjoy when temperatures begin to drop. Throughout the summer, it creates a relaxing retreat for unwinding after long workdays or entertaining family and friends, while adding a lasting backyard feature that can be enjoyed in every season.
