Me Commerce vs. We Commerce
March 7, 2021
Most e-commerce software promotes ‘me’ commerce. It does not connect businesses with each other to leverage  the power of the group. Businesses act alone and are lost in a maze of decisions.  Massive amounts of time and  money are wasted. Amazon loves when indie businesses endure this waste.

Bridge promotes ‘we‘ commerce. Our social e-commerce platform connects 700 retailers with 2,700 brands. Of these brands, 113 are Smart Brand partners that share 65,...

A Coach’s Review: How Does an Analog Retailer Survive in a Digital Universe?
March 4, 2021
There are many e-commerce platforms from which to choose. A store owner can choose from more than 30 platforms including Bridge, Shopify, Big Commerce, and Big Cartel.  Unfortunately, very few software providers are easy to set up and use. Most importantly, they may not improve retail sales.  A store owner is surely mindful of increasing costs and wasting time on software.

Bridge, our e-commerce platform, helps more than 700 indie stores offer a website and bridal registry that...

Vibrant Bloom Bowl, Inspired by Flowers
March 1, 2021
Beatriz Ball and Louisiana-based ceramicist Gretchen Murchison developed the lively VENTO Bloom Collection, sculptural bowls and platters inspired by floral and botanical forms. 

Fittingly, the form of the VENTO Bloom Small Bowl in polished metal is flowing and organic. The dynamic design features rippling petal-like movement, creating a compact serving vessel that you’ll use every day. Great on its own, or combined with other Bloom shapes and sizes, it makes a stunning serving ...

Facts Are Fuel
February 26, 2021
In a world with so many options, how do we as consumers make intelligent choices? We are overstimulated with resources daily, and sometimes this can be overwhelming. Common sense seems to be the driving factor when assessing the alternatives before us, as may be the process of elimination when there is too much to consider. But what is the most influential deciding factor we face? It could be facts that serve as the strongest fuel to drive us to make an informed decision.

As our leader, Jason...

Facts Are Fuel
February 19, 2021
When I was speaking with the team this week, I mentioned author Dan Roam’s strategy for convincing people to change their ways. He suggested leading with data (i.e. facts), which leads to a change in one’s thinking and beliefs, which will then change one’s actions—aka they will change their website to use Bridge.  

Yet, we can’t "lead" with too many facts, because as the authors of the book Rethink point out, that is like ...

Universal Domain Service: What Does It "Do"?
February 11, 2021
We offer a universal domain service (UDS) to retailers, brands, and sales reps. What does this service do? The universal domain service elevates your business' brand and may increase your Google ranking. Specifically, the service hides ("masks") the 'bridgecatalog' part of the website URL. 

In the example shown, we Google two stores' names in Texas. The two stores both use Bridge Store to power their online business.  The Ivy House does not use the universal domain service...
