Below is an example of where the Bridge really comes in handy. This is an order that came into a Bridge retailer today. The only online stores that carry this Alberto Pinto pattern Belles Saisons are Bridge partners.
As such, the Bridge became the sole tool for someone to buy this pattern online. The retailer that made the sale below did not even have to think about adding this obscure pattern to their site; the Bridge did it for them. And then the retailer gets 1/2 this amount below (about $2,800). Even if this retailers just makes this one sale, their investment in the Bridge is paid for for the entire year and more.
