You wanna know why?Because I was doing EXACTLY what every other bloody Tom, Dick and Harry was doing… I was trying to promote products that were already being marketed the exact same way everyone else did! I took the obvious trail that most
Important benefits are you sell at a fixed price, you benefit from the co-operative effort of many items within the mall site which brings repeat customers and more links into your shop from Google than you can possibly get on your own website. Important functions are part of the shop, for example a shopping cart where customer can add to cart, input their payment information and your antique is sold. If you have considered opening a shop at one of the Antique malls available there are many thing you must consider when determining which fits your needs.
What is the REAL cost?
What is the REAL cost of opening a shop? In our example we will talk about a well known Antique Mall.
Initial Signup Fee $50. Once you are open you pay a monthly fee which includes 50 items within the price.

This article was born out of frustration and anger... anger aimed at affiliate program administrators who have very little concern for hard working affiliates.I have had the rug pulled out from underneath me on several occasions, and frankly I am fed up. If you are considering joining a 2 tier affiliate program and the only payment option the administrator of the program has to offer you is PayPal, BEWARE!By using PayPal as a processor for a

Coca-Cola and Pepsi-Cola have been engaged in direct competition for over 100 years, which is about 99 years too long. Originally marketed as health tonics, the two products are very similar, cost about the same, cater to the same market, and have never established any meaningful product differentiation. Such protracted, intense competition would be very, very costly to most businesses in most industries. There’s a lesson in it for all of us, though.

Is it easy for customers and shop owners to navigate the site?
Is the site confusing? Can you get lost easily?
How many pictures can you add per item. Remember Antiques can be expensive and 4 pictures per item just does not give the buyer the security they need.
Is it easy for shop owners to manage their shops?
Can you view a demo or login to a demo account?
What will your neighbors be like?
What are the restrictions? Is there any type of quality control. Are shop owners listing correctly? Does the mall owner so much control that it now appears tacky. Is it a high end venue with high quality control standards or does anything go? Will the type of Antiques you are selling fit the site?
Selling at malls definitely has its benefits and I would consider the best option out there but there is much to consider.
