The degree of diversity, creativity and potential begs for a forum like this to discuss it's present and future. Is there enough going on to justify its own blog? Absolutely! Whether it's Salsa, wine, spices, pottery, yoga, architectural salvage, cheese making, tea or jewelry, there is much to talk about. We welcome you to discuss the good, the bad, the ugly and the damaged.North Albany Bloggerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13930718716261186377noreply@blogger.comBlogger53125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-649670805202134360.post-52062649410406083872010-07-19T17:56:00.001-07:002010-07-19T18:00:39.416-07:00New Statuary At Silver Fox SalvageJust when you think the area's best selection of concrete garden statuary was enough, Silver Fox Salvage has just expanded it's inventory.

With a fall in retail sales and a significant decrease in advertising revenue, businesses and magazines are closing at accelerated rates.<br /><br />Merchants AT THE WAREHOUSE have to inform the customers that buying local, buying quality reuse items is a better way to preserve value and bolster the local economy. When you buy local, more money stays in the community. Buy a dresser made in China and where does your money go? Some goes back to China, some to local employees and some to the business (which may be owned by a corporation outside this area). Buy one AT THE WAREHOUSE and where does your money go. Well, it was purchased from someone locally who sold it to us outright or at auction. We get the money and after business expenses, spend it at local restaurants and other businesses.<br /><br />In these times, BUY LOCAL is more important than ever. Though in some areas you may spend a little more, but more comes back to the community.North Albany Bloggerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13930718716261186377noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-649670805202134360.post-66867319104236213942009-01-08T16:55:00.000-08:002009-01-08T17:05:13.892-08:00At The Warehouse, a place of surprises<div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEha0tX6lA9b69vDQu17XGZZUCn0I9b2maViYajsQIavJWZpVgr4iNSjfX3eGRw8Ttrr7sbChe4P0JxpscuDf6ykPeu51tNbui6uIVv0wr8p6wX5Z0djL9cvDs6QfZ15I7HWgaSI4PhmV1Y/s1600-h/christmas+warehouse+(12).JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5289092909753608370" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEha0tX6lA9b69vDQu17XGZZUCn0I9b2maViYajsQIavJWZpVgr4iNSjfX3eGRw8Ttrr7sbChe4P0JxpscuDf6ykPeu51tNbui6uIVv0wr8p6wX5Z0djL9cvDs6QfZ15I7HWgaSI4PhmV1Y/s400/christmas+warehouse+(12).JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div>You just never know what you will see <strong><a href="http://www.atthewarehouse.net/">At The Warehouse</a></strong>.</div><br /><br /><div>It is a place full of wonderful objects and interesting people.</div><br /><br /><div>A walk around the building will show you a life sized soft sculpture of Albert Einstein (that often has our cat Salvage sleeping in his lap), verdigrised pieces of the old Carnegie Mansion, and boxes of old clock parts.</div><br /><br /><div>Stop and chat with Carol Dratch-Kovler.

That's how the current financial crisis is for those not affected yet. Though twinges of it have hit AT THE WAREHOUSE, I don't think we have felt the impact of other businesses. What can we do to keep the people coming. I have a few suggestions. First, staying unique and evolving to fit the times. Let customer know that most of what is found there can only be found there, whether it's jewelry, furniture, local honey, custom made aprons, or antiques. If you want jewelry everyone else is wearing, then the mall is for you. Keep prices reasonable. Money is tighter than ever and value is appreciated. Remain friendly and engage the people who come in. Not to lure them to your booth, but to find out how they heard of us. Let them know about the place and that food is available. Then let them wander. Our silent policy has always been not to be a "car salesman." See what it did to the big three? Just kidding. And always remember to promote the place. If every vendor can attract two new people per month, our growth will be noticed. Take some flyers and find a local spot to leave them (with permission). Thanks.

Since then we have had a diverse group of vendors. Some have moved on, others have been moved, some have grown, others have stagnated. It's the norm for any market. We are always hoping the vendors are successful; however, what determines that is so complex that it's hard to pinpoint the reason(s) for success or lack of it. Clearly there are three important factors: traffic, attitude and getting the word out. However, if the product isn't desirable then all the traffic will not result in exceptional sales. To that end we jury new vendors and their product.<br /><br />Regarding the traffic, we had hoped that by now the crowds would be steadily increasing and predictable. Every week we get new people; but why don't we see more regular customers? We had been hoping to attract several hundred each Saturday and Sunday. We have a regular distribution of our flyer to hotels, ads in Metroland, and are listed in the Sunday Driver antiques directory which is found throughout the state. Other advertising venues, including local magazines were not found to be worthwhile. We have had probably more local newspaper coverage than most businesses with articles in the Times Union, Metroland, Business Review, Spotlight and Capital Region Living Magazine. Silver Fox has been getting 3,500 hits to the website monthly and is steadily on page two of a Google search.<br /><br />Are there any opinions out there to enlighten us about the traffic issue? We welcome it. Our goal has always been to make this a great local destination.North Albany Bloggerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13930718716261186377noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-649670805202134360.post-24509986225907484732008-11-20T16:47:00.000-08:002008-11-20T17:25:33.423-08:00At The Warehouse November 22-23<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiX3vnNuht91_MvxA8tSyiCsAtP5JoLiz_A_qGAKLmLQEYT-oD7eCJWZ-ixf3He6sg_1OLGVl3PqKPQ7goIr7Nq2ZRY5Pil4ofQs0TIgi9F7lGwIl2McTRDkiyU99G2brK9Q1-6krbUErI/s1600-h/mainlogo.gif"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5270915394530965378" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 150px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 208px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiX3vnNuht91_MvxA8tSyiCsAtP5JoLiz_A_qGAKLmLQEYT-oD7eCJWZ-ixf3He6sg_1OLGVl3PqKPQ7goIr7Nq2ZRY5Pil4ofQs0TIgi9F7lGwIl2McTRDkiyU99G2brK9Q1-6krbUErI/s400/mainlogo.gif" border="0" /></a><br /><div>Win tickets to Capital Reps production of <strong><em><a href="http://www.capitalrep.org/season/striking.html">Striking 12</a>.

It appears that they are going after the smallest of venues: coffee shops, markets, private businesses including camps (for singing around the campfire), and more. You should Google ASCAP and see all the complaints. They tried to go after the Girl Scouts but that backfired as the artists complained (I guess they stated to look like money grubbing performers out to make a buck on a bunch of girl scouts singing around the campfire). That's a sign of the times since CD sales are down and top performers are looking for any revenue they can get (not to mention ASCAP which gets about 10-15% if the over 1 billion they take in). What they are legally entitled to is royalties. They get a minimum of $10.00 per live performance for a venue our size. Once ASCAP gets there's, then BMI and other one will come for their share. The fines imposed by the courts are out of proportion to the offense with fines in the thousands per song. Many a small door have eliminated live music because of this. We see no alternative other than ending the live music. I'll be informing theNorth Albany Bloggerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13930718716261186377noreply@blogger.com3
