By using Bridge, the store has already saved about $7,500 and 500 hours (about 13 weeks).

Best of Thymes, an indie store in Iowa, just closed (https://bestofthymes.bridgecatalog.com/news.cfm?id=20645). Hopefully, they’ll continue to operate online and keep using Bridge. Best of Thymes is part of an industry-wide series of closures that is affecting large and small retailers. Due to this, brands are increasing their efforts to go D2C. Brands justify this by saying that there are fewer stores to show their wares. While this is true, surely they are motivated by: 2x the margins. ...

A Coach’s Review: How Does an Analog Retailer Survive in a Digital Universe?

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...

RetailDive Shares News About Indie Stores But Misses Important Details
December 13, 2020
In last week's RetailDive, Kaarin Vembar penned an article about small businesses and their pains during the pandemic. Ms. Vembar and RetailDive promote the groundswell to e-commerce but sadly shortcut its existence in their very article.

She interviews the owner of Adorned Abode in Tacoma but doesn't add a link to the store's website--which would've boosted the store's Google ranking and increased clicks from readers, and she doesn't give much attention to the store's website offerings. ...
