How It works
The flowchart shows how bartering in the IMS Network can help you save your cash, sell your excess inventory, get new clients and increase your sales.
1. As an IMS member, the Contractor provides $10,000 of remodeling services to another IMS member, the Resort. The Contractor gets $10,000 trade dollars deposited into his IMS account.
2. The Contractor buys commercial time at a local Television Station for $5,000 trade dollars. The Television Station earns $5,000 trade dollars.
3. The Television Station barters for $1,500 of accounting services. $1,500 trade dollars is deposited into the Accountant’s IMS account.
4. The Accountant books a vacation package for $1,500 at a resort. The Resort receives $1,500 in trade dollars in their IMS account.
These business are free to trade with each other as well as over 16,000 business in the IMS network throughout North America.
