PRESS RELEASE:  July 26, 2006

The launch of Antiques Dealers Support Services, LLC (ADSS) is a result of bringing together the resources and expertise of CSB and Associates and Moonlight Press, LLC for the purpose of supporting individual dealers, dealer associations and informal groups of dealers in their objective to generate business.

Mr. Bredemeier, president of the newly formed company, believes that it is not business as usual for antiques dealers in today’s market. Dealers need to work smarter on a tighter budget in order to get a bigger piece of a smaller pie.  Accordingly:

“Our goal with ADSS has two focus areas.  First we work with individual dealers to fill the void where they do not have the internal resources to manage a lead management program, a CRM (customer relationship management) program, implement a cost-effective visible Internet strategy or conduct a multi-channel selling strategy - all which are particularly important in today’s market conditions.  We also help dealers create and migrate to new business models and in some cases prepare an exit strategy for retirement.

Second, and even more important, we work with groups of dealers to create unique selling opportunities.  Our services and products open up new sales channels to dealers and our co-operative marketing approach reduces dealers’ costs while extending their reach into new markets.”

CSB and Associates provides website design services, website hosting, photography services and produces catalogs and newsletter for many dealers including Malcolm Franklin Inc. (Chicago), John Doughty Antiques (San Francisco), Frances Aronson Fine Art (Atlanta), Blackamoor.com (West Palm Beach) and many more.  CSB websites such as www.SanFranciscoAntiqueDealers.com, www.NewOrleansAntiqueDealers.com, www.DallasAntiqueDealers.com, www.AtlantaAntiqueDealers.com and more have attracted tens of thousands of visitors each month to its member dealer base. 

Moonlight Press publishes antiques dealers’ guides in IL, WI, and CA and has been the printer of choice for the catalogs produced by CSB and Associates.  The launch of Antiques Dealers Support Services, LLC is a natural outgrowth and offers dealers a cost-effective high-quality answer to today’s challenges brought on by a soft antique market.
