What IMS can do for your business:
Easy A Proven Concept.
For hundreds of years, people have been trading what they have for what they need. Through IMS , the trade system of days gone by has been updated to a sophisticated and efficient exchange system, making it possible for you to trade your goods or services for those offered by thousands of IMS members.
As Easy As Banking.
IMS works like a bank, providing administration and record keeping of all your trade activities. You can make purchases at any member business by simply using your trade card. And you receive immediate credit for sales upon obtaining a authorization number from IMS.
Increase your sales.
Without any effort or expense on your part, your company sales will increase when you join IMS. The reasons are simple. First, members prefer to purchase in Trade Dollars whenever possible, so they stay within the network for all their business needs. And second, the network is divided into different categories, such as printers and accounting services, and membership in each category is limited. So your business is one of only a few in its category, narrowing down your competition.
Decrease Your overhead.
When you join IMS your business will be listed in our member directory advertising your products or services to other members. This directory opens your doors to a whole new market of potential customers. The result: increased sales without additional expenses, creating a larger profit margin for your company.
Keep your cash flow available.
By trading whenever possible, you keep your cash readily available. Because you never know when that “once in a lifetime” opportunity will come your way, and you want to be able to take advantage of it. Of course you need to have your cash free to pay bills, too.
Extend your buying power.
Whenever you provide goods or services to IMS associates, your only expense is your wholesale or production cost. Yet, you’re selling to other members at regular, prevailing prices, so you profit by the amount of your markup. Then you receive credit for your cost plus profit. So, if your profit margin is two or three times your wholesale cost, you’re able to buy that much more for every dollar of sales to members. It’s a “wholesale buying power” that’s only available to IMS members.
Put your unused capacity to work.
If you’re like most businesses, you could easily accommodate more customers. And you probably have a number of fixed costs, no matter what your sales. By offering your excess goods or service hours to IMS members, you can increase your turnover and profits.
Get in on the trade secret.
Thousands of businesses have become part of the network that can help their company grow. It’s a system that just makes sense. And you can be a part of it.

IMS: Better than a bank account or credit card.
The extraordinary IMS account lets you pay for your purchases with offsetting IMS sales rather than cash. Every IMS member enjoys new business and saves cash on every purchase. Ordinary bank checks and credit card purchases require payment in 100% cash dollars. But with every dollar spent with IMS can be paid with one dollar in new sales. Your actual cash cost is only the cost of you inventory. You profit by the amount of your markup, so IMS makes you money. Why not make money with your purchases?
