Covid-19 has changed how people are shopping. Many states have banned stores from being open. Most shoppers can ONLY shop online. Let's update your Bridge account for this new era.
You're invited to a new, free webinar:
Website Preparation in Response to Covid-19
I believe that no business will survive the COVID-19 pandemic alone. Together, we can help indie stores survive this crisis.
Here is what Bridge is doing to help members:
Bridge is hosting COVID-19 preparation webinars for retailers, brands, and sales reps. For retailers, we hosted three trainings this week. You are invited to watch a replay of the COVID webinar for retailers here: https://vimeo.com/402693440/844cc20eec Our webinar

3. $20.4 billion The amount department store sales have dropped over the past five years
4. $14 billion The amount in sales that Costco's Kirkland Signature private label outpaced all of Macy's nationwide sales last year
