New York Times: 8-page spread showing a struggling Main Street in America
July 9, 2021
The Times ran a massive 8-page section  of Wilkes-Barre, PA’s downtown.  The insert, one continuous piece (4-full pages each side), showed a Main Street in flux. Even with rent averaging $9/square foot, many stores are teetering on survival.  

The only entities that seem to be growing in the area are universities and government agencies.  

Trivia: Planters Peanuts was started here and used to have its office on this strip.   View Post

Facebook: Dangerous For Your Kids--and Your Business
July 4, 2021
I’m seeing a disturbing trend online. Stores are not sharing news and events on their websites. Instead, they are relying on Facebook (and Instagram, which it also owns) to perform this task. That’s like a customer coming into the physical store and the store manager saying: "Want our news and events? We don’t have it here. Go to the coffee shop next door—which will be filled with our competitors pitching to you." 

I believe this is bad for most ...

What can we learn from Avon? Espirit de corps

I found this article about the new book 'Ding Dong! Avon Calling!' inspiring. Avon empowered many people to be in business for themselves. Bridge believes in a similar mantra of empowering people to start and run a retail business. 

I appreciate Avon promoting an espirit de corps to motivate its thousands of sales people. I share news like this very post for the same reason. Our platform is designed to help members share and support each other--much like Avon's literature for sales ...
