We have improved your ordering system. Your orders page now has a standalone payment status drop down. This new feature helps you more easily update the order's payment status and keep it separate from the order's status (aka: if the order has been shipped, etc.). Previously, the payment and order status were combined in one drop down.

During the trade shows, retailers ask brands for price lists, Excel files, and PDFs. Did you know Bridge can help retailers and brands store and share these files?
You can load and share these types of files:
Price lists
Excel files
Catalogs
PDFs
These files also appear alongside Bridge Smart Products. Businesses have one easy spot to see products AND files. Only Bridge lets you show real-time, organized products alongside files.
Bridge has made it easier for you to share your news and events.
You can now more easily add pictures to news posts, and then edit and rearrange the pictures.
In the example shown, I'm sharing news about our Vietri seminar in Atlanta. I added a picture to the post, as well as marked it as an event, set a location, and added an RSVP button.
Here is how to share news or an event:
Visit your Bridge home page. Look for the 'What's on your mind?' field. Enter in your news or

Why is retail changing?
Retail Dive gives us six reasons via six statistics:
1. 100 stores The number of Macy's locations closed since August 2016, as well as the number of stores that off-price retailer Ross opened in 2019 alone
2. $19 billion Projected off-price sales by 2021
3. $20.4 billion The amount department store sales have dropped over the past five years
4. $14 billion The amount in sales that Costco's Kirkland Signature private label outpaced all of Macy's nationwide sales last year
Juliska’s Florence collection, redesigned for ease of use and featuring the historic Bohemian ‘Prunt’ motif of indulgent droplets, is the perfect way to cheer the day in opulent, fun, and irresistibly tactile style.

We're happy that REI, with 154 stores and $2.4b in revenue, is finally catching up to Bridge.
REI, the outdoor gear retailer, made news last week when it announced that it was offering an expanded selection of gear online from big brands like Salomon (the outdoor, athletic shoe company).
Excerpt:
The expansion allows customers to choose from a wider range of products. "This functionality opens up so many doors for our customers and gives them access to new sizes and styles of products that we ...

Do you think that Dropbox is free? I thought so too until my 'free' account filled up and Dropbox wants me to pay $16/month--and $20/month if I want a 'team' account.
Dropbox's pricing page is a doctoral lesson in how to charge customers for oxygen.
