LiveDeal.com, a leading free local classifieds site, announced that its Furniture and Merchandise marketplaces continue to be one of the site's fastest-growing categories and an ideal way for antique store owners to quickly and affordably increase their online presence. With LiveDeal, antique-store owners can build new relationships with local and national customers who use the Web to shop for antiques. In a matter of minutes, antique stores can open a free "Basic Store" on LiveDeal.com and post detailed descriptions and photos of their most desirable merchandise.

Because LiveDeal.com is searchable by zip code or city and state, it's an effective tool for connecting antique stores with interested buyers from their local community. Consumers can research and preview antiques online at LiveDeal.com and then visit stores in person to inspect, purchase and pick-up items. Antique stores interested in reaching a national audience can also take advantage of LiveDeal's ecommerce capabilities and sell items directly through the LiveDeal.com site.

Antique stores can enhance their presence on LiveDeal.com by upgrading from a free Basic Store to a Premium Store for $9.95 a month. Premium Stores feature a company logo or store photo, and contact information such as a company phone number, business hours and a map.
