Used Furniture Store Successful During This Recession As many new furniture retailers are closing their doors, we look to see who stands out in the crowd doing business as today's furniture buyer wants and needs. There is one such place in the small town of Jacksonville, North Carolina that is thriving during today's recession. Sea Witch Antiques has been successfully selling antiques and collectibles online for approximately 8 years. Opening the Jacksonville NC Furniture website for the Sea Witch Antiques - Furniture Division earlier this year has demonstrated the acceptance by the public to search online while buying quality used furniture either online and/or in-person. According to Jean Hudson, an owner of Sea Witch Antiques, "Showing each customer that we really care about their needs and making the extra effort to work with them makes all the difference." Sea Witch Antiques as well as their Furniture Division take major credit cards as well as lay-a-ways which has been an 'eye opener' for several new customers. Both Jean and Dean Hudson of Sea Witch Antiques are quick to offer a free cup of coffee, sit downs to try out the furniture, and helpful advice towards online and/or regional businesses. These extras have drawn significant attention to include repeat buyers as well as high quality customer referrals. Doing business the old fashioned way seems to be successful during these trying times. Whatever it is they are doing, Sea Witch Antiques - Furniture Division has proven that success can be achieved even when others are not doing so well.
