Top 4 Trades of April

At the beginning of each new month, we like to go back and see what the Top 4 Trades were from the previous month. This way, we know what our clients are looking for and how trade is helping them in their daily lives.

The Top 4 Trades from April were:

Swim Spas

Swim Spas make a great addition for 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 swim spa can range from just $300 (inflatable) to over $16,000 (premium/luxury). Not only that, the average cost to install a swim spa ranges from $500 - $8,000, depending on the model of a swim spa 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 swim spas but also in their installation! Call us today to get the swim spa of your dreams installed.

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! Contact one of our Media Specialists today to see what radio opportunities are available in your area!

Furniture

Whether you are looking for furniture for your home or office - IMS can help you furnish your space while saving cash. If you are looking to upgrade your home office, consider checking out our recommendations by clicking here.

Land

Typically, you probably use your trade dollars on “normal things” - dentist, restaurants, office supplies, etc. etc. However, we do occasionally have amazing properties and land for sale that you can use your trade to purchase. If you want to be notified when we have land for sale on trade, contact your broker so they know you’re interested and looking!



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