Brands share their products with stores via the Smart Products marketing platform. Wouldn't it be helpful to see how those products are performing? Now you can. We added a new feature to help Smart Brands see how their products are performing. When a Smart Brand partner browses to a product in its Bridge account, it will now see a 'Product Performance' area. If you use Instagram, this feature may feel familiar. Instagram lets you view performance statistics for posts. We have brought ...

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."

Pat Hensley, a sales rep for Ryan Associates, helped her store and her brands this morning.
Pat signed up Canterbury Court, a gift and antique shop in Texas. By just spending a few minutes, the retailer has a live Bridge Store with 1,800+ products. Customers and brides-to-be can shop these products. Google will rank the store higher due to these products. The store saved months of web development time and thousands of dollars in labor.
Serving appetizers, entrees and more in this woven beauty accentuated with white oval platter by Corelle is the perfect art of serving. The dishware is light-weight and microwave safe. That`s Amore! Happy weekend everyone! Come visit us @DallasMarket Suite 2630 Ryan & Associates.

Bridge allows a brand to load stock to its Bridge account. There is no charge to load stock. After a brand starts sharing stock via Bridge, the brand often wishes to promote the benefits of this service. In this example, Casafina's national sales manager is sharing with reps via an email the importance of real-time stock sharing. He says it is more accurate and saves time.
Steering customers towards in-stock product makes customers happier (no one likes back orders) and boosts sales for in-...

Let’s imagine a retailer wants to operate an online store. What would the retailer and its customers experience when using Bridge vs other software? We found that a retailer using Bridge can go from having no web store to one with thousands of products in under an hour. And, there’s no charge. Other software doesn’t offer this ability.
To highlight our findings, we put together this comparison graphic showing Bridge Store and Shopify. (We chose Shopify to ...

Business leader Scott Galloway said this past week on his podcast Pivot that "complexity is a tax on the poor." I'd expand on that and posit that: complexity is a tax on indie businesses.
What if indie businesses could reduce the complexity and costs of running an online business? I believe we can. Bridge is reducing the costs of running an online business for more than a thousand businesses.
How do we reduce the 'tax'? Bridge often helps a retailer set up an online store ...

Brands and retailers have been using the new Bridge Wholesale service for six months. The service helps businesses reduce errors and save time. Retailers shared these comments below about the service:
Father's Day is June 20th and Glassworks has plenty of gift ideas. The pictured Baccarat crystal tumblers are the Louxor Tumbler, with its diamond-shaped surfaces and inside ruffles, and the Harmonie Tumbler, with consecutive parallel cuts from top to bottom. Stop in at the Shadyside store to see the full range of gifts.
Bridge welcomes Woodard & Charles as the newest member to our Smart Products marketing program.
Since 1975, Woodard & Charles has been a leading importer of responsibly produced and environmentally sound salad bowls, a wide collection of casual entertaining items, and popular mesh food Domes.
Woodard & Charles and its 46 products are ready for syncing.
We are pleased to announce that Relish is joining Bridge and the Smart Products program.
Relish is a luxurious melamine line that is made to look like handmade pottery but won't crack, chip or break. Their pieces are 100% melamine and BPA-free. Beautiful and functional, safe for any dishwasher, we call it Today's Everyday.
Relish and its 70 products are ready for synching.
Each month, on average 99.3% of retailers retain their Bridge Store service. A high retention rate shows that retailers are happy with Bridge’s software and customer service. This high customer loyalty says that Bridge is providing great value for members.
A monthly retention rate of 99.3% equates to approximately an annual retention rate of 92%.
In this month's Tableware Today issue, four brands promote their Bridge program. Badash, Bordallo Pinto, Carmel Ceramica, and Vista Alegre show the Bridge 'B' logo. We especially liked Badash's advertisement which states "Easily sell the items shown here" and lists the Bridge website.
Bridge is the easiest way for brands to get their products on to their retailers' online sales channels.
We appreciate our brands' support and look forward to help them more easily...
