Staff members attended the Brimfield, MA, show again this year (the world’s largest antique show) Where members met a lot of great "antique-buffs", including past and present students, as well as "show-goers" who were just curious about the Asheford program. Representatives from the Asheford Admissions Dept. said they handed out over 8000 brochures, and answered a stream of questions from dealers and buyers alike. And, since there were so many newspapers covering the event, we managed to get them to snap off a few of our folks hard at work... (We hope...!) With that in mind, we'd like to say thanks to all those who participated, and let them know we'll be coming back next year...! |
| STUDENT SALES PROGRAM |

As another free service to our students, on March 24th, 1998 the Asheford Student Sales Program was officially up and running. This program is designed to let students market the A.I.A. Course, through a promotional package provided by the school. Each new Course will contain all the neccessary brochures, contracts, and flyers, the student will need in order to successfully market the Asheford program to others. If this sounds like something you might be interested in, but want more information, give us a call at 877-444-4508, or you can fax us at 705-645-2380 |
Since March 1998, we've had over 2,456 students participate in our Student Sales Program... with some fantastic results..! Former student, Tom Lutton just received his first monthly check for $5,680.00.- Tom says, "I'm only doing it part-time now, mainly on weekends when I go to antique shows... but even with only putting in about 16 days a month I hope to make about $49,000.00 this year alone.." Congratulations Tom...! |

The Board of Directors at the A.I.A. is considering offering yearly membership status to those students who have already completed the course and graduated. This extended membership would be paid as a yearly fee, and would allow previous students to continue their membership with the school. Some of the benefits being considered as offerings for the yearly memberships are; Free Research Services, Free Appraisal Serivces, Free Membership Card, Free Listing With Other A.I.A. Extended Members, Free Asheford T-Shirt, Free Asheford Window Sticker, And A Free Yearly Subscription To An A.I.A. Newsletter. These are just a few of the ideas we've got in mind for our new extended membership... but we'd like to hear your suggestions, so write, e-mail, or fax us with your ideas on what you'd like to see the A.I.A. Extended Yearly Membership look like...

| We also wanted to let students know that Plans 3, 4, and 5 were recently updated, with new text, images, pictures and graphics! Our latest Internet section is also being updated on a yearly basis to reflect the dramatic changes occurring within this medium - whether it's a "dot-goner" or brand new way to market antiques on the Net, our writers have it covered from A to Z. We want all our students to know that we're working hard to give them the latest breaking news, trends and reports available on today's market. So keep an eye on our most recent changes, and let us know what you think of our new format... |
