VibrantBloomBowl, Inspired by Flowers 🌸
March 17, 2022
Beatriz Ball and Louisiana-based ceramicist Gretchen Murchison developed the lively VENTO Bloom Collection, sculptural bowls and platters inspired by floral and botanical forms.

Fittingly, the form of the VENTO Bloom SmallBowl in polished metal is flowing and organic. The dynamic design features rippling petal-like movement, creating a compact serving vessel that you’ll use every day. Great on its own, or combined with other Bloom shapes and sizes, it makes a stunning serving piece and ...

Walmart+, Disney+ ...Bridge+?
March 15, 2022
Businesses like Walmart, Disney, and Discovery are bundling services and adding the “+” suffix to denote them (e.g.  Disney+, Discovery+, W+, etc.). In a recent article in RetailDive, we learn that Walmart is giving its customers free, six-month trial Spotify accounts. I think W+ bundling services is smart.  Last week, I compared running a gym to offering software. I spoke about bundling services with things that people like to increase their usage, such as work ...

Brands Helping Their Stores and Themselves
March 8, 2022
How are brands helping their stores--and themselves? They are telling retailers that Bridge is a sales solution for them. For example, Pampa Bay doubled its sales vs. last year on the Bridge platform. One way Pampa Bay increased its sales is by consistently promoting its Bridge service across various mediums. When one visits the Pampa Bay site, one can see the platforms the brand uses in the upper right-hand corner. We can see the brand uses Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, and Bridge. Pampa...

9 Ways Your Bridge Is Different Than Other Online Stores
March 7, 2022
There are approximately 40 online e-commerce providers. These software providers help other businesses sell online by offering them the ability to run an online store. These providers include Bridge as well as Shopify, Magento, Big Commerce, BigCartel, Square, and Weebly.  Does Bridge offer a different (better?) experience than these other platforms? We believe the answer is yes. We also think our 960 retail clients agree: 99.7% of our retailers retain our service each month.

I recently saw an advertisement for Windows 11 in Wired magazine. I thought: “Wow, finally something  from Microsoft that someone can understand: a logical name for their software offering.” I recall a time when Microsoft had a confusing litany of software names including: NT, 98, 2000, Millennium (ME), Windows XP, and Vista--before finally relegating those clumsy names to the desktop recycle bin and adopting a simple, progressive number system.  Apple has been naming its ...
