October 27, 2021 Video: Your Website Is Like a Fish Tank - You Have To Fill It Up
Video: Your Website Is Like a Fish Tank - You Have To Fill It Up
October 27, 2021
In this video, I discuss: 1. Why indie stores are having a hard-time competing online. 2. What these stores need to do to overcome the obstacles. 3. How Bridge's software can help them quickly. I recommend that one view their website as a 'fish tank.' For starters, it has to be filled with brands, products, and features. When a store does this, the fish (aka the store) will thrive. You can view the video larger at Vimeo: https://vimeo.com/639288608

The 13th Month 🗓
October 3, 2021
There’s a hidden month in the calendar: the 13th month. Those that follow this calendar often are very productive and lead successful ventures--as well as vex their significant others. What is the 13th month? It’s the sum of working Saturdays each week for about a year. There are 30 days in a month, and about 52 Saturdays in a year. In fact, there are almost 14 months in a year if you work Sundays, too.  The 13th month is a calendar that most professional athletes, scholars, and...

Bridge Beats The Knot and Walmart
September 26, 2021
When it comes to gift registries, Bridge helps indie stores rank higher in Google than other players in the retail industry. In the example shown, we see four retailers using Bridge to rank on page 1 of Google. Two retailers beat The Knot, and four beat Walmart.

While our indie stores are just a fraction of the size of The Knot or Walmart, they outrank them because they use Bridge's technology. Bridge's software and network of websites offers advantages that bigger entities can't overcome ...

Help Your Store and Receive $400
September 21, 2021
What would you do with $1,200?  I ask because I'm sending a sales rep $1,200 today.  

What did the sales rep do?
  • She signed up three retailers for Bridge Store.
  • This gives the retailer an online store filled with the sale rep's products.
  • The rep saved each store thousands of dollars and months of work on tedious website work.
  • Now, the stores are selling more. The rep is making more in commission.
  • The rep helped herself--and her stores.

Human Sell-cology
September 5, 2021
We work tirelessly to help our customers.  A good spot to see this is on our sale site’s pricing page, which lists 60+ features that clients receive—often for free. (Sometimes I think that we’re philanthropists. Twenty-five percent of retail clients pay nothing each month.) Each feature is one that we’ve labored over.  

But, ironically, our hard work may get overlooked and under-appreciated if key psychological insights are overlooked by me. In his book ...
