Upon boarding my flight to Mexico last week, did I eagerly wait the arrival of the bar cart? Maybe, but not before cracking open the book Great by Choice by Jim Collins. I recommend the book because it provides new approaches to success. One takeaway in the book is not new: we’ve got to work each day.

As you may already know, production of stainless steel flatware has perhaps been the most impacted business in tableware during the Covid crisis. This is where we stand with Couzon: our factory that produces the "U.S. only" patterns of Le Perle, Lyrique and Consul was closed for most of the summer due to Covid issues. They are just now getting back up and running and slowly at best. Orders that we placed over the summer we will not see until May of ...

Last night, I was at a speakeasy bar and spotted what I believe to be a MacKenzie -Childs item. To enter the bar, you pass through a soda vending machine that opens up.
Nice to see Smart Brand member MacKenzie-Childs contributing to the decor next to a neon sign.
If you have the chance, check out the Garrett on Avenue A. Stop by the soda machine :)

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 ...

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 ...

For decades, brands have paid retailers to set up a display in the retailers' stores. Ralph Lauren's Polo, Nautica, Jimmy Choo, and other leading brands have paid department stores to set up displays and manage their brand appearance. This helps the brand and the stores increase sales.
As we all know, retail has gone digital. Thirty percent of retail sales are now online. What if there was a way for brands to sponsor displays like these physical ones but do so online? ...
