Saving cash is easy. After your business becomes a member, simply shop and save with your IMS dollars and keep your cash in the bank.
It’s barter, just much bigger and way better.
The IMS Barter network has 14,000 member businesses, allowing your company to conduct business-to-business trading for goods and services outside of your normal markets. This gives you the opportunity to purchase goods and services for your business using IMS dollars, instead of cash. Which means your business can save cash on normal business expenses like advertising, printing, repairs and improvements, professional services, travel, office equipment, corporate gifts, company meetings, and much more, by spending your earned IMS dollars instead.
And, because you are earning IMS dollars on your goods and services at normal everyday selling prices, you are able to turn those earnings around to purchase items at your wholesale cost!
Here’s how that works: You buy your widget for $80 each. You sell your widget for $169 each. This sale price is true in both the cash and trade worlds. Which means, when you spend $169 IMS dollars, you have already saved $89 cash!

"Radio advertising is a great way to get my message out to my customers and to let new customers know what Merle Norman is all about.. The ability to use barter dollars for advertising is my main motivation for belonging to IMS. Even though there are other Merle Norman studios in the Milwaukee market, the advertising I do with my IMS barter membership makes mine the most recognized among them."
