Do you have a good friend at work? These days, fewer people do. According to the New York Times, 40 years ago, 50% of us had a close friend at work; that number has dropped to less than 20%. Work has become a more transactional place. We go to the office to be efficient, not to form bonds. We may have plenty of productive conversations, but we also have fewer meaningful relationships. That’s not a good thing because work friends play a big part in our happiness.
I was happy see that our friend Adam Sigel will be leading JK Adams. Please checkout the news below.
DORSET, Vt. —JK Adams has appointed Adam Sigel CEO.

If customers feel ignored by your support team after having a bad experience with a product or service, they’ll shift for a ...

When is the last time you received a Starbucks gift card? I’ve received them as holiday gifts, and I’ve given them to sales reps as thank you gifts. Starbucks gift cards, like their shops, are ubiquitous. They are almost as popular as gift cards from our nemesis: Amazon.com. Just about every month, a company offers me an Amazon gift card if I sign up for a service. WBGO, the local, Newark-based, non-profit radio station known for jazz, recently offered me an Amazon gift ...

A customer emailed one of our client's this morning. The customer sent the email to praise the store's marketing effort. That marketing effort was designed and is managed by: Bridge. It required no effort by the store.
How the marketing works:
A customer buys a registry gift for a couple.
Approximately a year later, the Bridge software emails the customer on the couple's wedding anniversary. The email reminds the customers that it is the couple's anniversary.  
Celebrate birthdays and anniversaries for years to come with our striking sand-cast aluminum Number Candle Holder Set. Set includes numbers 1-10 in a petite box, all beautifully handcrafted to last through the years. A customer favorite baby shower gift!

Why keep past registries? Because friends and family forget to buy gifts from your store :)
In the example shown, we see an anniversary reminder prompted a registrant’s friend to purchase another gift from the store. By keeping past registries, your Bridge software can send emails to friends and family members encouraging them to purchase gifts.
We recommend you maintain past registries for 3 years or more after the wedding date.
