Top 4 Trades of November 2023

As the new month commences, we like to go back and see what the Top 4s were from the previous month. The Top 4 Trades that emerged were bucket trucks, vehicles, commercial roofing, and radio advertising. This retrospective analysis allows us valuable insights into our clients' preferences and how these trades contribute to enhancing their daily lives. Understanding the trends in demand helps us tailor our services to better serve our clients and meet their evolving needs.

Bucket Trucks:

Bucket trucks play a crucial role in various industries, facilitating tasks that require elevated access to heights. These versatile vehicles, equipped with extendable boom arms and sturdy buckets, are essential for tasks such as electrical repairs, tree trimming, and maintenance of overhead infrastructure. Their significance lies in their ability to provide a safe and efficient means for workers to reach elevated areas that would otherwise be inaccessible. Whether it's addressing power line issues, pruning trees, or installing signage, bucket trucks enhance productivity and safety. If you find yourself in need of a reliable bucket truck, don't hesitate to contact your IMS Broker. They can connect you with the right equipment to meet your specific requirements, ensuring the success of your elevated work projects.

Vehicles:

Did you know that you can get vehicles on trade! It doesn’t happen often but it does happen! If you let your broker know that you’re shopping around for a vehicle, they can be on the lookout for you! And let’s not forget, you’ll be saving cash in the process.

Commercial Roofing:

Keeping a roof over your head can be pricey, especially if you need to replace your roof. The national average prices for a roof replacement can range from $6,000 to $8,500, with the national average resting near $11,000. The most expensive roofs are made of premium materials such as slate, clay or copper, which can cost well over $50,000 in some cases. IMS saved our clients some serious cash this month because they used their trade dollars for their new roofing.

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!
