The Top 4 Trades from November were:

Tools
Do you still have a mile-long project list? If the answer is yes, then you should make sure you have all the tools you need or see if you need to upgrade any of your tools. Instead of checking out your local home improvement store first for new tools, check out the IMS Marketplace or contact your Broker! We might have what you are looking for, and it would be on trade. So you can use that saved cash on something trade can’t get you.

Direct Mail Advertising
Not ready for radio advertising? Try Direct Mail advertising! It's been found that direct mail recipients purchase 28% more items and spend 28% more money than people who don’t get that same piece of direct mail. It’s also shown that direct mail offers a 29% return on investment. Not to mention, direct mail has a quicker production turnaround time than radio advertising. So if you want a quicker advertising method, try direct mail! Contact one of our Media Specialists to get started!

Hot Tub Spas
Hot tubs make a great addition to both leisure and health. The benefits are numerous - you can relax after a long evening, use it for at-home hydrotherapy, entertain guests - the possibilities are endless. However, the price of one can cost more than what you were expecting. The price of a new hot tub can range from just $300 (inflatable) to over $16,000 (premium/luxury). Not only that, the average cost to install a hot tub ranges from $500 - $8,000, depending on the model of hot tub and if it’s in-ground or above. Let IMS ease your money worries about your new jacuzzi! We have clients that specialize not only in hot tubs but also hot tub installation! Call us today to get the hot tub of your dreams installed.

Solar Technology
Looking to make your business or home a little more green? Have you considered solar panels in the past but were unsure because of the cost? Well, we wanted to let you know that you can get solar panels using your trade! That’s right! Save that cash and use your trade and go green a little easier!
