A medium coffee at McDonald’s is $1.99. When a brand syncs with a retailer on Shop Local, it costs the brand $1.40 per month.
For $1.40, we do these seven things for our brand partner:
We sync an unlimited number of the brand’s products to the retailer's Shop Local Store. All updates, including price changes and new introduction launches, happen in real time. The retailer never has to click “download”
Amazon issued a press release stating that it is fighting with 10,000 Facebook groups that sell fake Amazon reviews. It’s ironic, since Amazon has been a chief promoter of the avenue allowing this behavior: Section 230. Section 230 allows tech platforms to host and indirectly promote just about any type of bad behavior, including illegal behavior (fake review services and yes, human trafficking, murder-for-hire, etc.) and then say it’s just a community space and belatedly remove the ...

Relying on file-sharing services like Dropbox to sell products often costs stores an extra $750 per brand and hurts sales
I work with 900 retailers who tell me they are drowning in a sea of Dropbox folders containing Excel files and product images. What can we do about this? First, let’s review what’s happening: When a brand wants to share products with a store, it emails the store a link from Dropbox or a similar file-sharing service. A store may receive five to ten Dropbox links...

Reports suggest that 50% of purchases start on Amazon.com, and Amazon wants to keep it this way. Yet, businesses and merchants increasingly want to sell their products via their own DTC (direct to consumer) site, retailers' websites, Facebook, Instagram, and more. Due to this, Shopify, which powers many DTC and retailer websites, is a growing thorn in Amazon's dominance of retail. Shopify reportedly helps power more than 30% of online U.S. retail sales.
This drawing shows how the Smart Products service speeds products to a retailer’s website. A brand traditionally has to 'break' its website contents down into pieces (product data and images), and then share this with the store piecemeal via Dropbox or another file-sharing service. Bridge's service helps brands and stores skip these time-consuming and expensive steps.
In the example shown, the retailer Cook's Station wishes to add Joseph Joseph products to its website. Without ...

Do you think that Dropbox is free? I thought so too until my 'free' account filled up and Dropbox wants me to pay $16/month--and $20/month if I want a 'team' account.
Dropbox's pricing page is a doctoral lesson in how to charge customers for oxygen.
Most retailers do. In January, many brands raise prices. Retailers are buried under Excel files and Dropbox links. Retailers are expected to change prices for 100s or even 1,000s of products.
How can an indie store keep up with these price changes?
We have a solution: Smart Products.
Over four hundred retailers that use Smart Products never have to worry about Excel files and Dropbox links. They get instant price increases from 120 partner brands including: + ...
