Maximize IMS Barter to Reach Your Business Goals

Barter Is More Valuable Than Ever

Over the past several years, barter has continued to evolve from a creative alternative to a core financial strategy for thousands of businesses. The IMS network has grown significantly, offering more opportunities to:
  • Acquire the goods and services your business needs
  • Attract new cash customers
  • Keep more of your cash in the bank
Today, IMS is stronger, larger, and easier to use than ever before, giving you more buying power at your fingertips.

Your Private Capital = Business Growth

Every hour of unused time, every piece of unsold inventory, and every bit of extra capacity represents private capital that can be leveraged through IMS. Our most successful members consistently use their trade dollars to:
  • Offset marketing, advertising, and promotional costs
  • Fund property improvements, equipment, and maintenance
  • Enhance employee benefits and incentives
  • Cover travel, entertainment, and business services
  • Invest in business growth without new debt
If you’re not already planning major purchases with trade dollars first, now is the perfect time to start.

A Growing Network = More Opportunity for You

Every day, new businesses join the IMS network, expanding the range of options available to you. And you can help accelerate that growth while benefiting directly. When you refer a new business to IMS and they join, you’ll receive a referral bonus, plus the advantage of being able to trade directly with them for goods and services you need. It’s a win-win: more trade options for you, a stronger network for everyone.

Reach Higher in the Year Ahead

You have access to a powerful financial resource that most businesses still overlook. Use it boldly. Plan purchases with trade first. Refer new vendors when you see an opportunity. Tap into the full strength of your IMS membership. Your goals are within reach, and barter can help you get there faster.
