4 Ways IMS Barter Can Increase Your Bottom Line

IMS has solutions to the problems most growing companies face today. IMS can help you to better control today's chal­lenges of reaching new customers, improving cash flow, increasing profits, and retaining quality employees.

1. Advertising

You can reach more customers without additional cash promotional expenses or sales calls by advertising in IMS trade publications, trade shows, or through advertising media available on barter. There are hundreds of different media opportunities available to promote your business. Print, digital, radio, TV, billboards, trade expos, and more are available through IMS Barter's network. Contact your broker to be put in touch with the IMS Media Team to learn more about opportunities and to receive a copy of the current Media Guide.

2. Cutting Business Expenses

Improve your business's cash flow by switching current ongoing business expenses over to barter. IMS has many qualified accountants, attorneys, secre­tarial services, and more available through the trade system.

3. Using Barter instead of Cash

Increase your profits by using your trade dollars to offset cash expenses in both your business and personal life. Does your parking lot need resurfac­ing? Could a room at home or work use some redecorating? Use your trade dollars and not cash. With your IMS account, you can peruse the Client Directory for services available. Or, contact your broker to learn how we can best serve your needs.

4. Providing Employee Incentives

Keep employees loyal by allowing IMS to assist you in providing medical benefits, incentive programs, facilities, catering, and entertainment for compa­ny events, and employee training pro­grams. Give an employee or yourself a bonus - send them on a vacation to Jamaica or Florida. Reward that out­standing employee by giving them din­ner on the town complete with limou­sine service. And do it all on barter.

Going Out of Your Way for Barter
​Talk to an experienced member of the Trade Exchange and they'll candidly tell you, "Yes, I've traveled a bit farther to buy on trade." The small inconvenience is worth it because it pays off big time ... greater cash flow for your company in these "cash-tight" times!
The Key to Good Barter Experiences
One of the basic principles IMS Barter has maintained throughout its existence is the belief in the need for communication and commitment from its members. Both are essential to good barter experiences and are established through the broker/client relationship.
