Fine Jewelry

This category was the greatest trade in the Top 4 Trades of September. If you need to make a grand gesture with someone close to you, jewelry is a great way to express your admiration! Jewelry can also be a statement to create a buzz and demand among customers—maybe it's used on a model or available at an auction.

The IMS network has jewelry available. Contact your broker to connect you today!

Windows

Like fine jewelry, windows and window installation was also a top traded category in September. Windows can be energy-efficient for your business's establishment, enhancing the aesthetic inside and out. Choosing specific materials can also affect how durable your windows can be, which provides an extra sense of security in protecting your establishment.

Looking to trade for window installation for your home or business? Your IMS broker is available to put you in touch with a window installation service within our network!

Roofing

Roofing was one of the Top 4 Trades of November. Roofing is a significant part of the shelter that your business or home can provide. It houses your hard goods and the individuals who help your business operate, or your possessions in your home. Regular roof maintenance can ensure a prolonged lifespan and increase the energy efficiency of your establishment.

Ready to maintain your roof? Need to replace it? There's a roofing client on IMS your broker is ready to connect you with!
