RetailDive: Florida is the latest state to create e-commerce tax
April 23, 2021
Good news for indie stores: Florida will require out-of-state sellers shipping to the state to charge tax. Taxes are a big deal in Florida: since Florida has no income tax, it has a notable state sales tax (6%, compared with New York’s 4%), with Florida municipalities adding up to another 1.5%. The incentive to buy online from out of state 'saved' the Florida buyer about 7.5%.  

Now, this Florida law will level the playing field and remove the incentive to dodge taxes as everyone ...

A Touch of Gold Never Gets Old …

Expanding Bridge's Customer Base to Help More Brands
April 10, 2021
Best of Thymes, an indie store in Iowa, just closed (https://bestofthymes.bridgecatalog.com/news.cfm?id=20645). Hopefully, they’ll continue to operate online and keep using Bridge. Best of Thymes is part of an industry-wide series of closures that is affecting large and small retailers. Due to this, brands are increasing their efforts to go D2C. Brands justify this by saying that there are fewer stores to show their wares. While this is true, surely they are motivated by: 2x the margins. ...

We > Me
March 25, 2021
As a group, we're stronger. 'Me' websites, like those offered by Shopify, put businesses in a silo and isolate them. The store is left to fend for itself alone.

In contrast, Bridge is a social e-commerce platform that leverages the strengths of the group. We crowd-source product maintenance to show more products and sell more.

As such, be believe in: We > Me.  This is 'the algebra of Bridge' ;) View Post
