Last week, a gift shop in Alabama signed up for Bridge and had a coaching call with Jordyn, our retailer coach. Within one day, the retailer had a Bridge Store offering 15k products and a full suite of online services to serve its customers.

I’m even amazed at what our software can do! Our software requires a lot of parts to come together: our tech team codes the software, our coaches call the stores to walk them through setup, and the participating Smart Brands act on sync requests and approve them. This is not a simple process.
This complex process is part of our secret sauce as to how we help local shops. We help so many indie stores that Bridge has become synonymous with the shop local movement. It’s fitting that we recently acquired the domain name ShopLocal.org. This domain enables us to further help our industry and customers.
PS - A special thanks to Matt Hullfish for the encouragement on getting the domain name.
