At the start of every month, we take a moment to reflect on the Top 4 Trades from the previous month. This practice keeps us attuned to our clients' needs and demonstrates how trade continually enriches their daily lives.

Here is the lineup of the Top 4 Trades from September:

Appliances:

While barter and trade predominantly revolve around services, it's crucial to note that appliances hold promising potential within the Trade Marketplace. Hard goods and tangible products will consistently serve as compelling reasons to reach out to your broker and explore the market offerings. Opportunities for cost savings can be uncovered through the IMS Marketplace.

Printing Services:

Printing services have evolved, integrating technology and sustainability. Digital printing offers precision and customization on various materials, while 3D printing advances for intricate designs. Sustainability is key, with eco-friendly inks and recycled materials. Online platforms provide convenience and options. The industry meets diverse needs creatively and sustainably. If you need printing, contact your broker for assistance in finding a suitable printing shop.

Forklift:

Forklifts provide a convenient means to transport goods and access locations that are beyond manual reach. Maintaining properly functioning forklifts can significantly decrease the time needed for material handling within your facility. This reduction in time translates to increased efficiency and productivity. If your forklift is showing signs of wear and requires repair, your Trade dollars and your IMS broker can assist you in locating a budget-friendly replacement, ensuring the seamless flow of your products.

Water Fountains:

Decorative outdoor fountains have become popular enhancements for gardens, yards, and courtyards, seamlessly blending aesthetics with tranquility. They enhance visual appeal and provide a serene ambiance with the gentle sound of flowing water. Hotels also embrace these fountains to transform their courtyards into relaxing retreats. If you're planning an upgrade to your outdoor area and are thinking of adding a water feature, reach out to your broker for assistance.
