I Antique Online

A Community For People Who Buy, Sell or Collect Antiques, Collectibles and Art

For some reason, I am on the mailing list of Cherry Hill Antiques in Florida.
http://www.cherryhillantiques.com/
Although this shop has a large internet position, it has a program to bring foot
traffic into the Shop.  - Leisurely Ladies Luncheon featuring antique subjects -
seminars, etc.
I am interested is doing an article about what New England Shops are doing
(in addition to websites and magazine ads) to bring more people into their shops,
and to get more people aware of antiques..

Stu, that is a great question, i would love to hear from our members. And by the way, we also have a group called Promoting and Marketing Your Antiques and Collectibles Business

which may be useful too.

Here is a reference to a Holiday Open House to bring traffic
into the shop. http://www.nashuatelegraph.com/news/900891-196/the-week-in-preview....
Salt Marsh Antiques is having an Old Fashioned Christmas Open House Dec.4-5
http://tinyurl.com/22rfm5a
"The restored 1805 barn at 224 Main St., Rowley, will be festively decorated with fresh-cut greens. The Three Amigos Trio of Rowley will provide musical entertainment. Refreshments will include chowder, baked ham, turkey, warm apple crisp and more homemade New England treats.

The event is free and open to the public. Early American Home Magazine highlighted the Salt Marsh Christmas Open House as one of the country’s best places to get into the holiday spirit."
from reference
The Collinsville Antique Company has the "Crusin Cafe".
"Located in The Collinsville Antiques Co. this 1950's styled cafe makes
for a winning combination of shopping and great meals."
