Poem: The Bridge Builder
August 15, 2023
My colleague Josh shared this poem with us. I like the parable about doing things for others. At Bridge, we support the poem’s view by building a platform that helps growing indie businesses. We build solutions for problems (“chasms”) that existing customers have knowing that future businesses that join us (“the youth”) will benefit from these digital bridges.  To our team: Thank you, Bridge Builders.

I’m at Sweetgreen, a salad-focused restaurant, and I spotted this sticker on the preparation window.  Sweetgreen is promoting Sullivan Street Bakery. Why would it dare do that? I believe it’s because it benefits Sweetgreen: people use a brand’s name to quickly deduce information, such as quality and value. People know that Sullivan Street Bakery is good. And, even if they don’t know it, they know that a bakery provided it and that it’s not from some stale loaf....

Syncing went from $149/per brand to $0 per brand
August 6, 2023
We're happy to share that Syncing is free for retailers. Initially, retailers paid $149 per brand per month. Over the years, we reduced the monthly flat fee until we were able to make it free. 

We can afford to offer the service with no flat fee because we charge a small commission when an online sale is made.  We only get paid when the service performs for the retailer.   This ensures that retailers only pay for results. This commission model makes us work harder to bring the ...

New Vietri Cucina Fresca At Glassworks!
August 3, 2023
Cucina Fresca, meaning Tuscan Kitchen in Italian, is inspired by the Tuscan landscape: the warm color of wheat, the rich red earth, the fresh greens of nature, the soft creams and whites of clouds, and the cool blues of skies and streams. The classic shapes are reminiscent of 14th-century pottery, and the lush glazes and raw terra cotta edges honor the essence of Tuscany. Stop by Glassworks to get a rustic, handcrafted authenticity to your table!

Discover the men and women behind Baccarat’s enchanting creations.

« The challenge of the glassmaker’s trade consists in keeping a close eye on the temperature of the material. Whether the crystal is picked with a ferret or a cane to collect the right amount of material, or to shape it, everything depends on a few degrees: if the crystal cools down too much, it breaks; if it is too hot, it cannot be worked with. You must forge your mind, because it’s a very demanding ...
