Email: Shelbyville, IN - 1/2/2023 I am reaching out on behalf of my business in Shelbyville and all of our customers to ask you to consider using IndianaAntiqueTrail.com as an advertising option. With the Indiana Antique Guide going out of business in 2021, there has been no other "in-hand" advertising platform for shoppers in Indiana, except the Antique Trail brochure, which is steadily adding businesses to the trail! I have found the Indiana Antique Trail to be less expensive than the aforementioned Guide, and far more versatile. The brochure comes as a list of members and a map. There is a website included which is user-friendly and has a number of features, including B&Bs, flea markets, country stores, and an interactive map that allows you or your customers to plan a trip -all part of the package deal! When you order your brochures, you can also ask for the Antique Trail brochures for the other states in our region. I have been shocked at the number of people who have picked them up over the course of the two years I've been advertising with IAT. My only incentive is to grow my business and keep up with changing times. We are in this together and my hope is, in the new year, more shop owners in central Indiana will add to the trail so that shoppers will learn it is worth their while to come our way to do their trading! Please feel free to contact me with any questions you have and invite any other shop owners you have contact information for, if you decide this could be beneficial to your business model. Thank you so much for your consideration! Fond Regards, Mama's Pink House Antiques, LLC Shelbyville, IN Facebook: Ballston Spa, NY - 11/28/2022 LOVING our newest advertising outlet- Antique Trail. Absolutely the best website, service, maps- EVERYTHING ! Thanks for sharing our Open House event, Lori at Antique Trail!! Michelle Ballston Spa, NY Email: Syracuse, NY - 11/22/2022 Hi Lori, thank you very much. I have to say, I am impressed at how well set up and proactive you/your company is. I think we both know how rare it can be to find people to work with in this industry that are "with the times" and forward-looking! Matthew Pastore Email: Moultrie, GA - 11/5/2022 Good Morning! I just wanted to let you know that your brochures arrived right in time for a huge tourism week here in Colquitt County! Thank you so much for getting these sent to me so quickly, I really appreciate it! Caroline Barber Executive Director of the Moultrie Convention and Visitors Bureau Moultrie, GA Email: Bradenton, Fl - 10/31/2022 Thank you for checking in, Pattie! We just opened back up yesterday. We didn't have power until then, but we are truly blesed with no damage or injuries. We've received our Antique Trail brochures, and they look even better than last year's. Even the paper feels thicker and very substantial. We're proud to be part of Antique Trail. Thanks for helping us to look professional online and with your brochure.

My goal was to do some homework prior to recommending your services to my clients. I was very pleasantly surprised because everyone I spoke with gave very positive feedback. One shop owner said she received a good amount of traffic because of the trail. Another said you are the "best in the nation." One owner said she would make the investment for the brochures alone and loved the fact that participants actually help promote each other. I'm definitely going to recommend you to anyone I run across in the antique business who need more traffic to their website or brick and mortar shop.

We have so many people in the shop during this time of year. With the upcoming Strawberry Festival visitors, too...I’m sure these will get into some serious antique buyers. Your brochure is beautiful! Gail, Florida Emailed 12/13 Hello, Would you please send one of the brochures about North Carolina antiques to me? The mailing address follows. Thank you. Where did you hear about us? Marcia Huffman, Antique Trail.com I found you on line when I googled for best NC antiques. Caroline, Pittsburgh, PA Emailed 11/31 Marcia, I just wanted to share a story with you of a customer who found my business from a picture (of a Hoosier cabinet) on AntiqueTrail.com. For several years she has been searching for a Hoosier, one she could actually use. While she was in my store looking at the Hoosier, out-of-the-blue she turned and looked on the floor and gasped. There in front of her was a toy oven exactly like the one she had lost in her childhood to hurricane waters. With teary eyes she said, "her father had put her little oven on the top shelf of her closet, promising her it would be safe." She said, "I've been looking for this oven for 40 years!" Her story was heartwarming, and she left the store with both the Hoosier and the oven. Thank you Antique Trail! Connie@Vintage Retreat in Natchez, MS Emailed 11/13 Hi Marcia, Could you please send over another box of Georgia Antique Trail brochures?
