The success of this web site is based on serving the Antique Dealers and their shops, stores, malls, and other selling venues. Our purpose is to provide a source for antique buyers and collectors to find antique shops throughout the state of Texas. Not only do we want people to be able to find antique shops, stores and mall but we also want to promote the use and interest in antiques and collectibles.
Visitors to this site will be able to map out antique trails throughout the state and find the wonderful antique shops that are found throughout Texas. They will also find a wealth of resource materials on antiques, collectibles, collecting, and as many links to other resources on the internet that we can find. It is a big undertaking and it will not happen overnight. Information is added as quickly as possible and will be a never ending endeavor.
We offer two types of listings for Texas Antique Dealers, Stores & related businesses: Free and Premium.
FREE LISTING: Has only very basic information including antique shop name, address, and phone number. Free Listings do not appear in the mapping component.
PREMIUM LISTING: Presents a very professional and informative advertisement for your Texas Antique Shops or related business. Includes basic information as in the Free Listing but also has an Image/Logo, an icon for the directory list, fax number, email address, web site address, up to 500 words of text, operating hours, up to three pictures, a link to Google maps for directions, and these listings are included in the mapping component.
Our special pricing for a Premium Listing is only $10.00 per month. GET YOUR SHOP NOTICED WITH A PREMIUM LISTING!
You may pay for your Premium Listing with a credit card or check via PayPal or by mailing a check or money order. You can pay with your credit card without opening a PayPal account.

To mail a check or money order click on the Pay by Check button.
There is no comparison between a Free Listing and a Premium Listing. While a Free Listing has value in getting your name out there, a Premium Listing is a strong advertisement for your Antique Shop, Store, or Mall.
Visitors to this site are looking for places to shop. The more information you offer on your listing, the more likely you are to get them to your business. A Premium Listing allows you to include much more information including a banner, 500 words of descriptive text, up to 4 images, your web site link, email link, operating hours, a link to directions through Google Maps, and you will be included in the Antique Trails Mapping Unit. The Mapping Unit is a major factor in getting traffic to your shop. With our introductory rate of $10 a month, you can't find a better way to get more customers.
There are many features that you can add to your Premium Listing. Here is how to complete your listing.
NOTE: If you would rather we complete your listing, click on the Pay by Check button. You will be taken to a screen where you can print the Registration Form. You can mail this completed form to us with your payment and we will complete your listing.
We have entered many Antique Shops into our database. If you find your shop listed here, you can Claim the Listing. Just go to your listing and click on the button on the bottom of the page that says "Claim This Listing". Then follow the information on the screen. It is easy and it is FREE!

Claiming your listing allows you to edit the information and ensure your listing is not removed. It also allows you to take advantage of our offer of LOW introductory rates to upgrade to a Premium Account with all of its benefits.
To entice potential shoppers to your Texas Antique Store, you can offer specials and discounts through your listings on our sites. We will place a link on your listing that will allow anyone viewing your store information to print out a special coupon. The coupon can be a certain percentage off or whatever special you would like to offer.
THERE IS NO CHARGE FOR THIS SERVICE. It is available only for Premium Listings.
The coupon will have the details of the special sale offer and contact information for your shop. If you need special information or want more than the basic coupon, we can provide that as well. There would be a small fee for the initial setup.

It is sad but true, all of us antique dealers are active enablers of those poor souls who suffer from Antique Addiction. It is a tough thing to admit, but admit it we must. Some of us actually owe much of our success from our poor addicted bretheren.
So what can we do to make amends? What can we do to provide comfort to these tormented antiquers who just can't stop buying antiques? Why offer them a discount, of course! We don't want to cure them. I mean, we aren't crazy. But we can sure help them with a discount.
You can join us an Antique Addict Enabler by simply requesting your shop be added to our list. We will send you a poster alerting your customers that you do your part to provide comfort to Antique Addicts. There is no charge to you. We just ask that you do offer a small discount on at least some items to anyone presenting an Antiquers Anonymous card to you. We suggest 10% on anything not already on sale, reduced, or marked "Firm".
In return you will be listed on our site as an Antique Addict Enabler. It is basically free advertising on the most complete antique store listing guide for the state of Texas.
Use the Contact form (on the menu above) to request being included in this campaign.
Want to own an Antique Trails site for your state? We have franchises available for many other states. We provide the web site, the software, and the training.
