Online shopping will increase while budgets for online operations will likely decrease
When considering how to spend one's time and money in building a business, it may be beneficial to look at predictions for the future. Most estimates predict that online shopping will increase. Conversely, retailers' budgets to add product to their websites will stay the same or shrink. Many companies have been cutting employees during the recession. With that in mind, we see that consumer demand will increase while the supply of product online may decrease.
The Bridge sales network (http://www.solarek.com/) solves this problem. Our technology enables retailers to increase their product offering while cutting personnel costs. The products in their Bridge are maintained by the brand, thereby alleviating it of the costs.
Meanwhile, the brand is able to save money by placing all its products in one spot, thereby saving it the time and money of sending the same materials to multiple retailers.
