Part of my job is to review registry software. I ensure that it works well for retailers, registrants, and gift-givers (family and friends). I also assess whether it offers good value (price vs results).
A retailer recently shared with me that it uses the service MyRegistry.com. I reviewed the retailer's site and how a customer would make a registry purchase via MyRegistry.com. For privacy purposes, I changed the name of the store in the screenshots shown.
The Neely & Chloe Large Pebble Tote is the perfect bag for everyday around town (with your mask on of course). It works great as a work bag or chic diaper bag- you choose. We have it paired with our Kinross Tie Dye Print Scarf. Try it as a fashionable face cover in a pinch. We also love the Annie Gold Necklace by Hazen & Co. Paired with a little black dress and you are out the door.

Last week, a Beatriz Ball sales rep helped Sara, the owner of The Monogram Shoppe in Indiana, succeed online. As you know, everyone is shopping online. Here is how the rep helped the store:
The sales rep provided a Bridge sign-up sheet to the store.
The store used the sheet to ask Beatriz Ball and other brands to sync products.
The store emailed Bridge this sheet.
Bridge quickly processed this sheet and emailed the store back a free Bridge account.&
During the Covid-19, the most important thing is that we all stay healthy and safe. Carolyn's Collections, in an effort to make gift giving during this period easier, is helping by opening this website and Etsy Store; CarolynsGiftStudio. If there is something that you are wondering if we carry (it will take a while to get more products listed), please don't hesitate to ask. We are offering shipping and non-contact curbside pick-up.
Thank you so much for shopping with us.

A store owner named Alice from South Carolina called me this AM:
She owns a jewelry store started more than 50 years ago.
Like most retailers, she has an older website with little product on it and no online registry.
While the economy was good, Alice kept putting off investing in a new website.
When the Coronavirus outbreak happened last week, she faced the reality of having to spend $5k on a new website that would take two months to setup. Alice feels that is too much

News outlets like the Wall St. Journal have shared that Amazon is full of fake products, counterfeits, and listings with exaggerated prices. In today’s WSJ, Amazon shares it removed 1 million fake health products related to the Coronavirus. Amazon’s action supports the accusations that Amazon often fails when it comes to policing its marketplace. It’s rare ‘action’ is actually a sign of larger ‘inaction.’ While these Coronavirus products may have ...
