Direct Mail Advertising

Choosing to include direct mail advertising in a media plan can be used to target members of your business's audience strategically. This type of advertising may be cost-effective for your business, especially if this channel of advertising is most effective with your audience. Direct mail advertising can be tailored to the needs of your business and personalized when sent out to your customers. Perhaps you include a QR code, or a personalized promo code to stand out amongst other direct mail pieces. There are no limits to how creative and imaginative you can be when it comes to direct mail advertising!

Contact your broker if you'd like to trade for direct mail advertising or general media. IMS has media representatives who are thrilled to assist you!

Tree Removal

When I was growing up, my parents had an arborvitae that was nestled against the garage. It framed the house well! That was until the arborvitae got bigger and started to scrape against the siding when it got stormy and windy out. You could possibly do the job yourself, or you could be connected via the IMS network to a professional with the experience to safely and efficiently remove the tree from your property—this may even be an investment that saves cash!

Do you have a tree or maybe a shrub scraping against the exterior of your establishment? IMS has tree removal available for you! Contact your broker to put you in touch with these services!

Accounting Services

Money, of course, is a significant part of running a business—paying employees, expenses, taxes, and more. It can be a lot to handle. Outsourcing accounting services can reduce costs compared to hiring in-house staff—you can measure the needs of your company and balance this with the resources you have available. With these services being available on trade, this can save you cash!

Contact your broker today if you're considering how accounting services could enhance your business practices!

Florists

Flowers can brighten nearly any space. Maybe they elevate the lobby or conference room of your business. They make for meaningful gestures to customers, employees, family; you name it! Bouquets are customizable—they can be made up to be big and flourishing, small and quaint, colorful hues, or soft monochrome. The choice is yours! Maybe the flowers match your business's branding? Is someone in your family planning a wedding? Employing a florist's services can make for one meaningful gift!
