Nancy had this to say about her Bridge experience:
"I’m surprised at how fast we received orders after signing up for Bridge Store. In less than a day, I could offer my bridal registry customers thousands of products online. I receive a new order every other day. It's easier than I thought it would be! Customers send us reviews saying how easy it is for them. We win. They win. Win-win. And, great retailer support from coaches!"

Please note: a retailer must be an authorized dealer to sync products.
You can use Product Syncing in two primary ways:
To Populate An Online Store & Gift Registry
Use Product Syncing to grow your online business. Output your synced products in your free Bridge Store. You can use this store to sell synced products to your customers. The store includes gift registry software.
As An Image & Product Library
Use the Product Syncing service as an image and product library. You can see comprehensive product data from many brands in one spot vs. visiting many different brand websites. You can use this database as a 'one-stop shop' to get all the current product prices, pictures, dimensions, stock, and descriptions. You can download this data.
Managing a gift registry takes a lot of time and money. This time consists of adding prices and pictures for registry products. Bridge's Product Syncing service saves retailers this time by doing this work for them. Our service helps 1,014+ retailers manage 64,019 products from 111 brands. The retailers do not have to take pictures or look up prices for these products.
Retailers often go through the following steps when adding a product to their website:
Bridge's Product Syncing service helps retailers skip all these steps for up to 64,019 products from 111 brands. All the products from a brand are online instantly. No thought needed. Bridge saves hundreds of retailers thousands of hours on website maintenance.
Most retailers get buried under Excel files and Dropbox links. Retailers are expected to add and update thousands of products. What if there was an instant way to update these products on your website? Product Syncing let you bypass Dropbox and Excel.
Retailers that use Product Syncing never have to worry about Excel files and Dropbox links. They get price changes and new introductions from partner brands instantly.

Brand Sends You an Excel File | You Sync with Brand |
Slow. Often requires manual processing and uploading to a website.
|
Fast. Products appear in your Bridge account instantly.
|
Expensive. Costs your business thousands of dollars to maintain products.
|
Free. Sync with an unlimited number of products for free.
|
Requires computer-savvy staff.
|
Doesn't require more staffing. Maintenance-free product management.
|
Inaccurate. Maintaining thousands of products is impossible.

Brand Sends You a Dropbox Link | You Sync with Brand |
Slow. Requires constant downloading of Excel files and images and then uploading this data to your website.
|
Fast. In seconds all product data from the brand is 'live' in your Bridge account.
|
Not easy. Brands often send files to multiple emails and accounts, thereby creating a mess of files in different locations.
|
Easy. Use one Bridge account to access content from 111 brands.
|
Not intuitive. Files don't appear in context. Dropbox files are not organized like a website or product catalog.
|
Intuitive. Products appear next to relevant files. For example, Juliska products appear next to Juliska files.
|
Not complete. Stores often show just a fraction of what the brand offers online. Reason: the stores have to manually download content from Dropbox and add it to their sites.
|
Complete. Stores can display 100% of a brand's products online.

To see how Product Syncing help a retailer, let's compare two stores that sell the tableware line Juliska. Juliska is a Brand partner.
Juliska offers 800 SKUs. Using the Product Syncing program, Juliska shares these 800 products with its retailers instantly. If a store were to add these items manually without Bridge, it would pay someone $100s and require a week or more of time. With Product Syncing, it costs the store $0, and the items are online in minutes.
Bridge requires less time and money than Dropbox and Excel.
Average Cost to Add 1,000 Products to a Website
Product Syncing reduces your employee costs.
How?
Let's imagine your store pays an employee $15/per hour to add items to your website. With additional costs (health care, worker’s compensation, etc.), the employee costs your business $20/per hour. Let's imagine this person can add up to 20 items per hour. Using this math, they are adding an item every 3 minutes. These 3 minutes entail:
Therefore, the average cost per item on your site is: $1.00 per item ($20 divided by 20).
What if there was an easier way? The Product Syncing service offers this solution. The Product Syncing service is free for your business and offers up-to-date pictures, prices, and dimensions.
In the above cost calculation, we estimate that adding an item manually costs about $1.00. This cost may include employee costs, such as:
Average Time Required to Add 1,000 Products to a Website
Product Syncing enables you to instantly show new items and hide discontinued products. Instead of waiting weeks to add new introduction products, you have the items on your website in minutes.
1,014+ retailers use Product Syncing, including:
"In today’s e-commerce world, updating products online is almost impossible. Bridge allows us to operate a website with current prices and current products. When we switched to Bridge Store, we cut our website maintenance costs by 86%. Instead of being forced to manage 35,000 products online all by myself, I only had to manage 5,000 products—Bridge helps me with 30,000 products. That’s big savings for an indie shop like me. And, Bridge helped me increase the number of products we offer online by 40%. We went from offering 35,000 products to offering 56,000. It's fair to say that Amazon.com hates Bridge."
~ Kenny Cohen, Owner • Contemporary Concepts • Pittsburgh, PA
"I do about 20% more business a year. Product Syncing saves me so much time when looking up pricing or showing a customer pictures. It is so nice to have this all done for me. It gives me more time to sell than working constantly on my website."
~ Mary Beth Wood, Owner • The Crystal Plate • Gainesville, GA
"If I have to add items to my website myself, it is one of the last tasks I get around to doing. It's much easier with Product Syncing. With Product Syncing, the items are already synced and on our website. We're much more likely to sell items due to Bridge."
~ Terri Gray, Owner • Ivy Cottage • Mobile, AL
