Did you know that nearly 75% of all aluminum ever produced is still in use today?

At Beatriz Ball, we proudly utilize sustainable and recycled materials in the making of our handmade metal products. The aluminum that we use, as well as, the special sand used for our sand casting molds, is all recycled. 

At our zero waste foundry, all miscasts are melted down to create new pieces. We also dispose of our waste products through eco-responsible methods.

Is Zola becoming a 'Wayfair'?
February 5, 2021
Zola has added a "Home Store" tab to its site. The goal: become an online retailer that does it all...oh, and maybe does gift registries, too.  Notably, this a departure from its original, registry-focused mission statement.  Initially, Zola told brands that indie store gift registry services were not servicing out of the way towns and that by opening Zola, the brand would reach brides in remote parts of, say, Oklahoma.   Zola didn't say that it was simply selling ...

Online Advertising is Often Bad for Indie Stores
February 4, 2021
Online advertising is great for brands. It's bad for: indie stores.

Why? Before the Internet, there were few ways for brands to cut out stores. They may have an annual warehouse sale, but that was about it. Today, a customer visits a retailer website and looks at brand X. Or it visits brand X's site to do some research.  The issue for indie stores: thanks to online advertising, now I'm being marketed to across the web. I'm reading news on the New York Post website and being encouraged to...

Amazon Wants 'One Channel,' But Businesses Want Multi-Channel
February 1, 2021
Reports suggest that 50% of purchases start on Amazon.com, and Amazon wants to keep it this way. Yet, businesses and merchants increasingly want to sell their products via their own DTC (direct to consumer) site, retailers' websites, Facebook, Instagram, and more.  Due to this, Shopify, which powers many DTC and retailer websites, is a growing thorn in Amazon's dominance of retail.  Shopify reportedly helps power more than 30% of online U.S. retail sales.

To remove this thorn, ...

A Fresh Approach....Resolve to Eat Right … in Style
January 29, 2021
Remember your New Year’s resolution to eat healthy foods? Well, fresh fruits are an excellent source of essential vitamins and minerals, and they are high in fiber. Fruits also provide a wide range of health-boosting antioxidants, including flavonoids. Eating a diet high in fruits and vegetables can reduce your risk of developing heart disease, cancer, inflammation, and diabetes.
