Reaping the Benefits of Viral Marketing

Chairloom-chairs.jpgAfter just a couple of months of work, the response to the Flea has been overwhelmingly warm, positive, and far-reaching—in essence, it's all going according to plan so far [insert sinister cackle]. Our biggest wave of signups yet (70 and counting) followed the Friday announcement on Design*Sponge that D*S Princess Grace will be personally curating a "collective" of 10 or so vendors every Sunday, including ultra-snazzy Brooklyn shops like Saipua and nationally known Brooklyn designers like Lena Corwin. We're super-psyched to have D*S onboard.

The D*S post cultivated interest from vendors from NYC as well as Boston and Philadelphia: Chairloom, a Philly lady who reupholsters vintage chairs with beautiful textiles (see photo above); Merchant Army, an upstart antiques/collectibles outfit, also from Philly; Dirty Librarian Chains, an awesome jewelry line by a Brooklyn gal recently transplanted from Austin; and Studio Roxas, a groovy illustrator from Astoria.

Keep 'em coming! You know how to reach us. Remember, we're particularly interested in hearing about purveyors of vintage items and antiques.

Hey Eric,
How about getting someone who sells old watches?

We certainly are looking forward to having a presence once a month at the Brooklyn Flea. We have a fantastic inventory of decorative architectural salvage, vintage and antique furniture and our own line of home decor items made from salvaged elements. We guarantee our "Albany Prices." If there is something on our website that interests you, please email us and we will bring it down. Our website is siverfoxenterprises.com It only lists a fraction of what we carry. See you in April.

Fred and Camille from Silver Fox Architectural Salvage
