Utterly simple design and completely gorgeous. The Beatriz Ball SOHO Rectangular Medium Brooklyn Platter is notable for its simple rectangular shape and shimmering hand-polished surface.

Great on the table, bar or kitchen island, it absolutely invites sharing. Handmade by skilled artisans, this is a multi-purpose tray you'll appreciate as much for its supreme functionality as for its artistic originality. Several Brooklyn styles to choose from. Makes an awesome gift!

Do We Have the Wright Stuff? 🛩
September 19, 2022
In the early 2000s, the board game Cranium became a hit.  The game combined elements of Scrabble and Pictionary with the goal of helping more people enjoy playing a game. Richard Tait, who created Cranium and sold it to Hasbro in 2008 for $77.5m, passed away in July.  Like Mr. Tait, I had been a paperboy, but he went beyond what I ever offered:  he came up with a new service that sold breakfast sandwiches along his newspaper route. He increased profits and made customers happier. ...

This season, while everyone is running here, trying to make it there, we’re making the official decree: Home is Where It’s At. 🧡

We spend less time at home in fall, with all the activities, appointments, classes, you name it, so when we are there, we want it to be as comforting and inviting as possible. Luxurious fabrics and decorative pillows that evoke the outdoors, seasonal décor that gets the whole family excited for the coming holidays, and the everyday, recognizable ...

Dollars and Sense Advice from Mom 👩‍🦰
September 8, 2022
When I was a kid, my mom instilled in me a lesson to always get paid for my work. When I went to mow a lawn or do my newspaper route, she’d remind me,  “Be sure you get paid.”  As an adult, these flashbacks are vivid like a scene from Citizen Kane—just swap out the Rosebud sled with my newspaper delivery bike.  Today, this lesson still resonates when running Bridge. When calling a store that hasn’t paid its Bridge bill, I’m confident in asking ...

When is the last time you received a Starbucks gift card?  I’ve received them as holiday gifts, and I’ve given them to sales reps as thank you gifts. Starbucks gift cards, like their shops, are ubiquitous.  They are almost as popular as gift cards from our nemesis: Amazon.com. Just about every month, a company offers me an Amazon gift card if I sign up for a service. WBGO, the local, Newark-based, non-profit radio station known for jazz, recently offered me an Amazon gift ...

Whenever I visit my 76-year-old mom in Myrtle Beach, SC, she picks me up and the oldies station is playing in her car. I’ve tried changing that dial, and one has a better chance of outmaneuvering tennis star Daniil Medvedev. I imagine the oldies music brings her back to her youth. I read a study that people’s favorite song is often when they were 17 years old.  That’s right: the 'best songs’ may not be the best songs but rather simply be what you heard in ...

Brands Need Stores
August 26, 2022
Over the last 15 years, brands have been increasingly doing a run-around to bypass their retailers and sell direct.  Some brands suggested they’d never have a physical store. Some brands said they’d never have their products sold in another retailer’s physical store. What allowed the brands this hubris? The internet and Facebook. With the internet, brands would have a ‘store’ anywhere the customer is, and with Facebook, they could target them.

Last week, Amazon bought iRobot, the company that makes Roomba, the robot vacuum cleaner, for $1.7b.  Why? Yes, their 'Rosie from the Jetsons' has AI and is in your home (which is where Amazon wants to be), but the reason Amazon wants it is because customers want it. Which leads us to ask: Why do customers want Roomba? Because it does something that humans find annoying and hate doing: cleaning. Roomba has spotted the value that robots bring to the world and it's not simply being ...
