Top 4 Trades of January

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 January were:

Power Tools

Do you have a list of projects already for this spring or summer? If the answer is yes, then you should make sure you have all the tools you need or see if you need to upgrade any of your tools. Instead of checking out your local home improvement store first for new tools, check out the IMS Marketplace or contact your Broker! We might have what you are looking for, and it would be on trade. So you can use that saved cash on something trade can’t get you.

Jewelry

Are you looking for a special gift or anniversary present for your significant other? May we suggest our vast jewelry selection from the IMS Marketplace? The jewelry you will find on the IMS Marketplace is top of the line, beautiful, and unique. Rings, earrings, bracelets, necklaces, even pins, and brooches - we have it all.

Forklift

You need many things for your business and as you know you can get most if not all of your basic business needs on trade. But did you know that you can get some bigger, more serious equipment for your business too? They’re not the most common trade purchases, but if you let your broker know that you are looking for bigger equipment, like a forklift, they can be on the look out for you.

Windows

According to Home Advisor, the national average cost to replace windows is about $650 per window, or between $200 and $1,800. Replacing windows on a three-bedroom house runs from $3,000 to $10,000. Labor alone runs $100 to $300 each. Count the windows in your home or in your office - we bet you are seeing dollar sign after dollar sign add up as you count. Instead of using your cash, use your trade! Call your broker today and they can help you get quotes from window professionals accepting trade.



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

Throw a Bone to Barter: The Curious Case of Walter the Pup
Once upon a time in the foothills of Colorado, a sweet English Cream Golden Retriever named Walter was born with a tail that wagged as if it had its own personality. From the moment he opened his sleepy puppy eyes, it was clear—Walter wasn’t just any puppy. He was special.
