Facebook: Dangerous For Your Kids--and Your Business
July 4, 2021
I’m seeing a disturbing trend online. Stores are not sharing news and events on their websites. Instead, they are relying on Facebook (and Instagram, which it also owns) to perform this task. That’s like a customer coming into the physical store and the store manager saying: "Want our news and events? We don’t have it here. Go to the coffee shop next door—which will be filled with our competitors pitching to you." 

I believe this is bad for most ...

RetailDive: The omnichannel age is here — and it's expensive
April 6, 2021
Operating a website is expensive--not only because programmers are expensive, but because margins are smaller. 

For 10 years, Bridge has encouraged stores to beef up spending in preparation for the e-commerce boom.  It's easier to spend a little each year over many years than spend money in a panic. Money spent in haste often results in waste. As a reference, when traditional retailers tried to catch Amazon, they often failed in their scramble. Please  recall Macy's buying the ...
