In a region known for its grapes, Susan and Brian Friguliette, bravely decided to give us beans, coffee beans that is. Their love story blossomed into living their dream and their passion for coffee. We have been selling Keuka Lake Coffee for 13 years. Over this time itβs become our top coffee brand. Customers love that they are they a local roaster but, the diverse selection of roasts and flavors has kept Keuka Lake Coffee fans coming back for refills. We asked Susan and Brian to share how ...

Your Bridge site loads faster than other sites. Want proof? Check out this comparison below.
We compared a competitor's registry page size to a Bridge registry's page size. Bridge's site was just 1/3 the file size. Bridge's registry was 2 MBs compared to the competitor's page size of 5.9 MBs. Why does this matter? The competitor's site was 300% larger, and thereby may have taken 300% longer to load for a bride, her family, and friends.
Bridge's registry even had more products on it than the ...

Carol Shroeder, owner of a gift shop, a retail expert, and a Bridge member, shared this advice about inventory:
....................................
Markdowns = Money βDonβt let inventory become familyβ is one of my favorite retail sayings. We all know the feeling of bringing in merchandise because we love it, hoping that just the right customer will come in who loves it too. Itβs sometimes hard to accept the fact that it is costing the shop money to hold onto an item that isnβt selling.
Old retail is 80% analog. This consists of: the physical store, staff, customer service training, etc. What youβd expect walking into a Saks or Macy's. And it's about 20% tech: computers, cash registers (POS systems), mobile shopping, Google ranking, apps, hiring social influencers, Instagram, etc.
Today, the retailers that are well positioned, growing, and 'hot' carry the opposite equation: they're 20% analog and 80% tech.
Enchant your guests with a new type of bloom on your table. Studio Moser and head designer LukΓ‘Ε‘ JabΕ―rek were inspired by a rose to create the Rouge Bowl. Swirls of color offset by layers of white create a stunning depth to this masterpiece. Available in three colors.
