Updated Feature: Enter a Purchase for a Registry List
April 27, 2022
Bridge has updated how a store records a purchase for a registry list.  This method uses the best practice for creating a digital copy of an order.  Stores need to add a purchase to a gift list for a variety of reasons, including:
  • A customer purchased a gift in-store.
  • A customer purchased a gift via telephone.
  • A customer purchased online via Bridge, and then called the store to add to the purchase.
  • A customer purchased a gift via another online outlet (

Checklists Can Help Save Lives and Main Street ✅
April 25, 2022
In a 2007 article in The New Yorker, Atul Gawande, a surgeon and an author, advocated that more hospitals use checklists. He cited many medical studies showing how checklists save lives (and money).  Implementing one checklist, a hospital "…prevented forty-three infections and eight deaths, and saved two million dollars in costs."  The startling part: the list was only five steps long! In other words, people don’t consistently follow...

Competing With Ourselves🪞
April 19, 2022
About two weeks ago in Charleston, SC, in spin class where I sounded like I was getting a hair transplant, I enjoyed being at once together with my friends in the class and yet competing with them.  When they peddled harder and stood up, I wanted to also.  Our competing didn't mean that there was one winner and everyone else lost. It wasn’t a zero-sum game.  In that spin class, we all won.  After that class, we all felt great.  Competition is an ...

When I flew home yesterday from Charleston, while most people were seeking relief from their sunburns and reminiscing about their vacations, I was delving into The Wall St. Journal’s profile on Tracy Britt Cool, an ex- Berkshire Hathaway star.  Mrs. Cool’s new company Kanbrick invests in businesses with $10m - $50m in revenue.  What does Mrs. Cool look for when investing in a company? People and moats.

We’re reading the book together because it helps us learn insights into working together and running the best company we can.

How Does Bridge Compare to Faire?
March 30, 2022
Stores and brands sometimes ask us: How does Bridge compare to Faire?

I thought we'd compare the two service providers.

Similarities: Bridge & Faire
  • Audience. Both service the retail industry. In particular, both service brands and retailers. Bridge also services sales reps, and Faire tries to steer clear of them--which is one reason reps don't like Faire much.
  • Delivery method. Both are online platforms.
  • Service offered. Faire is a wholesale marketplace. It

Some people like to sit on the sofa and eat Ben & Jerry’s ice cream. I roll my eyes at this because I’m very different: I like to read the Wall St. Journal’s Christopher Mims …while eating an entire pint of Ben & Jerry’s on the sofa. This past weekend, Mr. Mims suggested companies may be reassessing where they source products, some even considering more domestic production. The motivation for this started a few years ago with the U.S.-China trade war, ...
