I hear it from a lot of our new customers that we are the "Best Kept Secret" or "How didn't they find us sooner"? I always take it as a big compliment! Once folks find us they are glad they took the trip! Mike and I are always networking....I mean always!!! I know I've spoken about this before but I am still amazed at how we do business as compared to 1994 when 2 thirty year olds, married about 3 years, decided to start an Antiques business. Back then it felt like we were visited daily by someone from one of the local newspapers asking to place print ads for our shops. It was so hard to measure if anyone actually noticed the ad.
Did we photograph the right inventory to put in the ad and did we word it right? I can remember taking pictures of an inventory piece for a customer, getting the film developed and then mailing it out! Thank God for one hour developing. These days everything is instant! This week we staged a grouping of hat molds and a table that we had just acquired! Within minutes they were up on Instagram and at the same time on Facebook.
Within minutes thousands of people can see, like and comment on something new! We can talk back and forth with customers within seconds of posting something! How much is it, what are the measurements and so much more. So as I write this I just heard from a customer, headed here, who saw corbels I posted today! We love being able to get the word out about all of the new things we get daily. It's our best way to communicate with you, the customer, about the things you want and wish for! So if you're looking for that special thing, don't forget to like us on Instagram and Facebook (especially Sunday night) as well as our web page for all of the new items we are adding daily!
