Are your stores worth 20¢? We think so ;)
..............................
This year, sales on Bridge have grown 89% to $12M.
But the fight has just begun. In order to help independent retailers keep up the fight against Amazon, Bridge is updating its pricing for brands in 2018. We'll be reinvesting these fees into new features for you and your retailers.
1. In 2018, you’ll see:
A. More orders for your products. We’re launching new features on retailers’ Bridge stores that boost sales for your brands. In 2018, we plan to boost retailers' sales and brands' sales another 89%.
B. A faster Bridge. We’re going to be using a CDN (content delivery network) to speed up page loading.
C. New mobile features to make it quicker and easier to use Bridge on your mobile phone.
D. Faster ways to add and edit your Bridge items. We’re going to make it easier to add items, update prices, run a sale, and more.
2. In 2018, Bridge’s charge for brands will be a tiered system. This allows brands that are small to pay less. And it benefits large brands because they’ll be getting better software that is easier to use to manage lots of products.
