Bring Home the Beach with the OCEAN Aruba Collection from Beatriz Ball
July 28, 2021
Aruba, the name conjures up images of swaying palms, blue Caribbean waves and snow-white sands. The Aruba items in Beatriz Ball’s OCEAN Collection capture the splendor of the island in gleaming hand-polished metal. With organic shapes, surfaces resembling rippling sands, and some with naturalistic shell and starfish details, Aruba brings the seaside home.

The marvelously versatile two-part Aruba Chip and Dip features a surface resembling windswept sands and is ideal for serving iced ...

Visiting Laura May at The Ivy House in Dallas
June 23, 2021
Enjoyed visiting Laura May at her lovely boutique The Ivy House in Dallas.  She is a spitfire filled with inspiration and enthusiasm.

She offers a shop chockablock with luxury goods from Ginori, Juliksa, Deshoulieres, Saint Louis Crystal, and hundred of other premium brands. 

It’s so pretty in the shop that I suggested she could rent it out in the evenings for wedding engagements, cocktail parties, etc. 

Thank you, Laura, for encouraging me and the Bridge team! 😀

WSJ: Shops Join Forces vs. Amazon
June 17, 2021
I enjoyed today’s WSJ article about stores teaming up to take on Amazon. Since Bridge has collectivized 800 indie shops to push back against Amazon, we can relate to efforts to help stores team up and boost their communities.  

The article mentions Shopify and its popularity among indie shops. Shopify, along with BigComerce, Big Cartel, Wix, and Magento, are platforms that have helped indies to grow online independent of Amazon.

While we appreciate any platform that helps indies...

June 14, 2021 Complexity is a Tax on Indie Businesses
Complexity is a Tax on Indie Businesses
June 14, 2021
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 ...

Cleaner is Better
March 31, 2021
Wouldn't you agree that people around the world are cleaner as they undertake to get beyond the global pandemic of Corona virus.  It seems that it is time to stop advising people to do what we all have memorized about washing hands, social distancing and wearing masks. “Following simple handwashing practices is one of the most effective ways to prevent the spread of many types of infection and illness." Dr.Michele, MD, of the FDA says. “We can’t advise this ...

A Coach’s Review: How Does an Analog Retailer Survive in a Digital Universe?
March 4, 2021
There are many e-commerce platforms from which to choose. A store owner can choose from more than 30 platforms including Bridge, Shopify, Big Commerce, and Big Cartel.  Unfortunately, very few software providers are easy to set up and use. Most importantly, they may not improve retail sales.  A store owner is surely mindful of increasing costs and wasting time on software.

Bridge, our e-commerce platform, helps more than 700 indie stores offer a website and bridal registry that...
