As a second generation dealer, my parents do not use the internet for promotion and simply are out of touch with the modern consumer. Internet buying is just as important as face to face shows and exhibitions. If not, more important because there is an actual fingerprint left that can recruit more buyers from different areas to your site and generate more income.EstateChicagohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15379941960059192224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1654093787148989891.post-10739822051737747832011-07-24T12:27:40.855-07:002011-07-24T12:27:40.855-07:00I was thinking of this very subject yesterday. I ...I was thinking of this very subject yesterday. I was working up a blog post in my head about a show we went out to and the great piece I found there and I thought to myself, I don't know many dealers who will ever tell where they bought anything! What are we afraid of? Who is going to find out and what is going to happen? I've been over sharing for many years now and meet plenty of people who now say, hey i've read your blog, love what you found last week etc. We all hunt and gather. Buying from shows and talking about shows helps promote the whole biz and whether we tell or not we all know it's what we do. Why can't I talk about it? I think it's good business from the side of a dealer AND a promoter.Pure Vintage Chicagohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01816171067655674526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1654093787148989891.post-27835469779511168692011-07-24T11:26:13.906-07:002011-07-24T11:26:13.906-07:00Amen!

And kudos to the intelligence and maturity on the part of the dealers for sticking it out cheerfully and looking ahead. Here is a group that deserves a big success and should benefit from loyalty and sense of shared experience. It's times such as these that bring out the best, and worst, in people. Fortunately here, it appears the best in everyone emerged!
