The Top 4 Trades from June were:


Cabinets

Has your spouse wanted to remodel your kitchen but that means ripping out the cabinets? Which means you know you have to spend a good chunk of cash to replace them? Well IMS can take the sting out of that price tag. By using your trade, you could be saving anywhere from

Billboard Advertising

If you are looking to increase your business’ visibility, consider billboard advertising! In a recent study its been shown that 71% of drivers consciously look at billboard messages and 26% of that population noted the phone number written on the billboard and 28% noted the website address! Think about that. You could be bringing in 26-28% more customers with one billboard. If you are worried about the cash investment though - don’t! Use your trade! Contact your broker today and ask how you can get a billboard using trade.

Flooring Installation

The average cost of new flooring installation is $6 to $10 per square foot with some homeowners spending as little as $3 or as high as $18 per square foot depending on the materials chosen. But that doesn’t always include labor costs and the cost to remove the old flooring. If you want to save some cash, use your Trade Dollars! Call your Broker and ask what flooring installation services we have in your area!

Tree Services

Whether it’s just a few branches or a full tree removal, it can be done on trade. If you want to focus on tree removal for a minute, let’s talk about the normal cash costs. The average cost to remove a tree is $700. For smaller trees (around 30 feet high) you can expect to pay $250, for trees 30-60 feet high prices range from $300 to $700, and to remove trees higher than 60 feet costs between $700 and $1,800. Now if you just need to remove one tree, you could probably cover that cash cost. But why should you have to?! Use your trade!



Isn't it amazing what trade can do for you?
