In the movie Good Will Hunting, Matt Damon, who plays a handsome MIT janitor moonlighting as a math savant (can one say, “Hollywood career vehicle”?), woos a young lady (played by the actress Minnie Driver) by outmaneuvering a few competing, obnoxious cads. When Damon’s character gets the girl's telephone number, he proudly shows it to the other guys and boasts, with his South Boston access, “How 'bout ‘dem apples?” I imagine Tim Cook imitating this...

When I explain Bridge's Product Syncing service, I sometimes compare the service to the store-within-a-store concept at the mall. I didn't know that Jerry Chazen, who helped found Liz Claiborne, pioneered that concept in the 1980s. Thank you, Jerry.
We're happy to see four brands promote Bridge in Tableware Today's February/March 2022 issue.
In each advertisement, the brand displays Bridge’s ‘B’ logo in the lower left or right of the page. The brands that promote Bridge include:
Badash
Bordhallo Pinheiro
Carmel Ceramica
Pampa Bay
The brands show the Bridge logo so that retailers reading the publication will know that they can easily sell the products shown. Since e-commerce makes up 40% of U.S. ...

Last February e-commerce company Shopify Inc. replaced the “Ottawa, Canada” dateline that began its press releases and earnings reports with a strange new one: “Internet, Everywhere.” The geographical shift came at the insistence of Shopify’s founder and chief executive officer, Tobi Lütke, who tends to view such matters through the prism of cold, hard logic. In May 2020, only a few months into the pandemic, he’d made the early, seemingly rash decision to...

When we think of Valentine's Day is it about romance? Gratitude? Love, or just Love of chocolate ? I keep calling it Mother's day, so we pose the question: Is this a psychological slip? As I am a mother, is this just wishful thinking? Can we include Mom's? Anyway, it is coming up on February 14 and we wonder if you have thought about what to give your dear one, be it a lover, a family member, or a friend , (other than a foot massage or three un-interrupted hours of&...

I visited the New York’s Post website--to get my fill of New York gossip--and I was shown a massive advertisement from a leading tabletop brand. (I have covered the brand's logo with yellow rectangles for the privacy of the brand.) Before visiting the Post's site, I had visited this brand's website. The ads appear because the brand has hired some advertising platform to track me around the web, show me ads, and direct me back to its DTC (direct to consumer) site.
? It's Show Time and We Can't Wait to See You at Winter Markets!!

Customers love that they are they a local roaster but, the diverse selection of roasts and flavors has kept Keuka Lake Coffee fans coming back for refills. We asked Susan and Brian to share how ...
