Dear Dealer

Dear Southport Antique Mall Dealers,

I am so excited to introduce to you my new monthly column for the S.A.M. newsletter
JUST FOR YOU! I am grateful to have this new forum of communication. I hope you find it
educational and informative. Welcome! Let’s get started…

We have a wonderful new addition to each entrance door of the store. Janice was brilliant
mind behind adding “kick down” style door stops. They are so helpful and convenient! Gone are the days of moving heavy cinderblocks, rocks and anvils in order to keep the door open. Be sure and take advantage of our new “door bling” and enjoy.

You may notice this month that we are no longer adding messages to your months end
print outs. We have always struggled to find an engaging way to communicate with ALL of
our dealers. Therefore, Krissy is attaching a separate handout to each of your settlements
with the “highlights” of important information for the month. Please, take the time to read
them. This is relevant information for you! However, those of you that are interested in more information can find it here . Thank you so much for reading this, by the way.

Our wonderful Media and Communication Team (Piper and Jessica) are putting together a
seminar just for S.A.M. dealer’s to help them navigate their way through social media. It will explain how Facebook and Twitter can help our dealers promote their own business’ and demonstrate the tricks of the trade! They are reaching out to see how much interest there might be out there, so read your flyer and respond if you are interested. I have learned so much from those gals. I don’t know how you feel, but it seems as technology moves faster, my brain gets slower! I often need help to stay ahead.

Thank you for taking the time to read my new column! I hope we connect every month with new and exciting information. We are all so thankful that each of you have chosen to be a part of the Southport Antique Mall family. You make the mall- go-round, and we are truly blessed to have you. Happy Fall!
