Top 4 Trades of May

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 May were:

Accounting
Depending on the type of work you need done, and the size of the firm and its location, typical accounting services run from $150-$400 or more an hour. You can always find a less-experienced associate that charges less or you can try to manage it yourself. But either way, you are spending your TIME and your CASH where you could be spending your trade dollars. By using IMS’ network, you can access reliable accounting services that save you time to run your business and more importantly, save you cash.

Dental
Dental is often not covered with insurance or offered to employees. By using IMS, you can supplement your insurance or your employee’s insurance to give them access to Dental work.

Pallets of Bedding
If you are a hotel owner or a bed and breakfast owner, you know the importance of buying in bulk. With IMS, you can buy many things in bulk including bedding which can easily cost you more cash than you are comfortable with. With purchasing bulk items like bedding through IMS, you are saving that cash for something else you might need later down the road.

Real Estate
To be honest, it’s not every day that we have real estate properties on IMS, but when we do, they are prime locations and the best part is, you are using TRADE to buy the property and not your CASH.
