Today's WSJ reports that e-commerce is hurting brick and mortar stores. Bridge is happy to help brick and mortar independent stores benefit from e-commerce. We're preparing independent stores for the future.
View PostHFN magazine shares that Pier 1 Imports is increasing its focus on online sales. Excerpts:
A customer is the most important visitor on our premises, he is not dependent on us. We are dependent on him. He is not an interruption in our work. He is the purpose of it. He is not an outsider in our business. He is part of it. We are not doing him a favor by serving him. He is doing us a favor by giving us an opportunity to do so.

When we talk about retail, we're often talking about square footage. Why? Because if a customer can't see an item, he or she will likely not buy it.
The average Super Target store has 180,000 square feet.
Lowes: 116,00.
Walmart: 107,000.
The average 'Main St.' store: 1,000.
In sum, the avg. Main St. store is out-gunned up to 180-1. How can we overcome those 180-1 odds? Bridge helps give small and independent stores unlimited shelf space.
