I recently bought a pair of jeans from the bike-lifestyle company Rapha. I find Rapha's stores, emails, and mission to be inspiring to Bridge, and I'll explain why.
First, you may ask, "What is Rapha?" Rapha is a product company that sells goods for biking, including shirts, shorts, helmets, and accessories. What is unique is the lengths it goes to foster a community (and sales!) by having a coffee shop in it, organizing riding events, offering members-only clothing...

At Mottahedeh, we choose to be colorful. That is for dinnerware or decorative objects for your home.
The historical story is important to us, because it represents the best of a culture of the past. For our reproductions and adaptations of designs, we try to understand the perspective of someone in those times and be true to their idea. For instance, if we are making an adaptation of a dinner plate from the 1750’s we would not take one motif that is repeated six times around the plate and...

Online advertising is great for brands. It's bad for: indie stores.
Why? Before the Internet, there were few ways for brands to cut out stores. They may have an annual warehouse sale, but that was about it. Today, a customer visits a retailer website and looks at brand X. Or it visits brand X's site to do some research. The issue for indie stores: thanks to online advertising, now I'm being marketed to across the web. I'm reading news on the New York Post website and being encouraged to...

We're pleased to see Bridge promoted in two new Tableware Today print advertisements. Vista Alegre, producer of Claudia Schiffer's product line, promotes its Bridge service by displaying the Bridge 'B' logo in the lower right over Ms. Schiffer's yellow dress. Bordallo Pinheiro, a brand made and distributed by Vista Alegre, also displays the 'B' logo. (Nice peacock in the background!)
Fall into sweet, nostalgic memories with reds, yellows, oranges, browns and autumn flavors.
Sustainable features of Calaisio`s organic handwoven baskets are as beautiful as those memories of quality family time in the lap of nature, playing in leaves, haystacks and first-time apple picking.

Last week, a Beatriz Ball sales rep helped Sara, the owner of The Monogram Shoppe in Indiana, succeed online. As you know, everyone is shopping online. Here is how the rep helped the store:
The sales rep provided a Bridge sign-up sheet to the store.
The store used the sheet to ask Beatriz Ball and other brands to sync products.
The store emailed Bridge this sheet.
Bridge quickly processed this sheet and emailed the store back a free Bridge account.&
I visited the New York’s Post website--to get my fill of New York gossip--and I was shown a massive advertisement from a leading tabletop brand. (I have covered the brand's logo with yellow rectangles for the privacy of the brand.) Before visiting the Post's site, I had visited this brand's website. The ads appear because the brand has hired some advertising platform to track me around the web, show me ads, and direct me back to its DTC (direct to consumer) site.
