My colleague Josh sent me this book and no joke sent it via Amazon. When asked why, he said so could save $1 off the retail price and get free shipping. Hmmm... And, why is the author selling his book on Amazon in the first place? I was half expecting to open it and find it full of empty pages. What else should one expect in receiving a book about how bad Amazon is from Amazon? Who knows, maybe the Amazon warehouse staff licked it.
Dear Amazon and author: Please don’t tempt ...

Why is Bridge Wholesale Better?

When reading about Bed Bath & Beyond's 20% off coupon, I learned that BBB was started in New Jersey, right around the corner, in 1971. The coupon, which first appeared for a 4th of July promotion in that late '90s, was an easy way to cut out other expensive advertising avenues.

A missing component for FedEx and UPS remains an e-commerce platform, such as Shopify, Big Cartel, ...

In last week's RetailDive, Kaarin Vembar penned an article about small businesses and their pains during the pandemic. Ms. Vembar and RetailDive promote the groundswell to e-commerce but sadly shortcut its existence in their very article.
She interviews the owner of Adorned Abode in Tacoma but doesn't add a link to the store's website--which would've boosted the store's Google ranking and increased clicks from readers, and she doesn't give much attention to the store's website offerings. ...

Bridge Store helps members fill the marketing component that Shopify is missing. When a store joins Bridge, Bridge instantly points hundreds of links to the store from other Bridge members, which Google sees and ...
