Shreveport, LA (PRWEB) August 29, 2014  
    Antique    Social is pleased to offer the first comprehensive social    networking service, which gathers both buyers and sellers into    a single spontaneous community. By giving dealers in antiques,    art, vintage, and design a place to share their passion via    individual posts, collectors, designers, and just plain folk    have a place to interact. And Antique    Social doesnt stop there; our marketplace also includes    show information from various antique markets across the    country, as well as an avenue for shopping a variety of    established group shops without leaving home.  
    Like most industries, the business of buying and selling    antiques and art has changed dramatically over the years.    Traditionally, if one was interested in shopping for antiques,    it was necessary to attend a show or seek out dealers in single    owner or group shops. Although nothing will ever replace those    one-on-one live experiences, it is not feasible for many    interested in decorating or living with antiques to visit    markets and shops regularly. Antique Social believes the    seeming lack of interest in antiques and art by younger    generations has less to do with the appeal of the material than    it does with how they shop and how they live.  
    The internet created the opportunity to shop virtual auctions,    dealer-owned websites, or large virtual antiques malls. And    although the internet has opened many doors--allowing anyone    with an internet connection to shop worldwide--it has also    served to separate buyers from sellers in many ways. The idea    behind Antique Social is to bring back the buying and selling    experience by offering a community where everyone plays a part.    Antique Social is removing the corporate approach by putting    the fun back into the business. Antique Social is a community    of people who are free to interact with one another by shopping    in real time with real people. Antique Social will recreate, as    much as possible, the experience of walking into a show or a    shop where you can strike up a conversation with anyone you    meet. Do not get us wrong; it is hard to beat walking into a    great show seeing beautiful things or stopping along the    roadside to visit an interesting shop. But when thats not    possible, visiting with dealers and buyers in a fun place is    what Antique Social is all about.  
    Antique Social has been designed to assist both buyer and    seller by making it easier to do both. Daily posts provided by    dealers to Antique Social assure buyers of a constant flow of    fresh material as well as fresh ideas. See something you like    but its not quite what you are looking for? By being able to    reach out to dealers on Antique Social in real time, one comes    as close as possible to visiting a dealer without walking    through a door. It's like having a personal picker and now,    with Antique Social's social media service, the pick of the    litter.  
    When it comes to sellers, Antique Social offers a virtual real    time market that enables dealers to share their new gem and    find it a new home. Tim Chambers of Missouri Plain    Folk says, "As a dealer, I know personally so much of my    effort goes into finding fresh material that when it comes to    taking time to market my finds, I dont have enough time to do    it. Or, as is so often the case in todays rapidly changing    environment brought on by social media, I dont know how to do    it and do it right. Social media changes as rapidly as my    inventory!"  
    Antique Social to the rescue. Dealers only need know how to    send a picture with a description and Antique Social takes it    from there. The dealers presence is maintained with regularity    on social media sites, including Facebook and Instagram, at    whatever pace the dealer chooses. Antique Social lets dealers    do more of what they like to do: buying and selling. And    Antique Social can make sure everybody knows about it!
