"I enjoy the Wholesale Ordering feature. It saves a ton of time because the item numbers and wholesale costs are right there. And with some brands, you can see the stock levels as well. It’s a great feature!"

Thank you, Lois. Bridge's goal is to save retailers time, and we're happy it's working. Last year, a store owner avoided 33 hours on wholesale ordering by using our service. We have our 50 brands that share stock via the service. We'll keep enhancing the service :)

"Shop Local's Syncing service saves us a lot of time and money on adding items to our online catalog. We don't have to deal with manufacturer price changes.

Shop Local is very good when it comes to any issues we have regarding our site.

They have also been accommodating about updating our website with coding that ensures our Email Blasts make it to the recipients."

"We continue to be pleased with the software and services provided by Bridge. Jason and his staff provide excellent help and support. They are a great resource for us at Beatriz Ball. The software is easy to use and we see our sales continue to grow.
We encourage all of our retailers to join Bridge as it is a time and money saver for independent store owners. The Bridge platform allows you to have an online store immediately and start selling online."

"Shop Local is on target and powerful. We have experienced demonstrated positive results from retailers using Shop Local’s Gift Registry platform. Shop Local allows retailers to expand their brand offering. It supports their physical in-store display and inventory.

We encourage the brands we represent to partner with Shop Local to enhance their reach to consumers via their independent retailer network."

"Our brand, Salisbury, uses Shop Local's gift registry service and we recommend it. Here’s why: it works well for us. It offers us a higher ROI than other software.

My company has used other registry services, so we have some experience in this field. We were able to compare the services' performance. We’ve received more new gift registries with Shop Local’s service than with myregistry.com’s service. Shop Local requires less labor to maintain. And, Shop Local’s service costs us less. In sum, we get more with Shop Local and pay less.

I share this information because I want my industry peers to succeed and know what works. Choosing the wrong software is wasteful because one loses sales and time and it costs more out of one’s pocket.

I’m happy with Shop Local’s registry service, and I recommend brands in our industry use it."

"Since switching my website to Shop Local we have seen a significant increase to our web business. A big portion of our web business is for our brides. They appreciate the vast content, ease of use, and general look of our site. The whole Bridal Registry software has been a big hit with our brides. When our brides are happy, we are happy!!"

"Working with Bridge has really allowed for us to expand our wedding registry services to brides outside of Spartanburg. Brides can see most of our product offerings online, which is a lot more than we are able to carry in the store! They love the ability to update and change things on their own! It has also helped boost wedding registry sales from out-of-town wedding guests who cannot get to the store. I wish all of our vendors would partner with Bridge!"

Thank you, Amy. You’re right: out-of-town shoppers are important and can make up a notable percent of a registry’s gift givers. We work daily to make the gift-giving process smoother and more attractive. We appreciate you trusting us with this responsibility.

"We recently switched to Bridge from another registry service and have loved everything about Bridge. The team at Bridge made the transition seamless. They created all of our existing registries for us in a timely manner. Bridge is so easy to use and our customers have had zero issues when placing orders. We worked with Jordyn who has been the most helpful person throughout this process. She is patient, kind and extremely knowledgeable.

I am the one who now creates the registries online and also processes the registry orders. I have been very pleased with how easy it has been for me to use.

We are happy customers!

Thank you! We appreciate you, your business, and your customers. We're happy you experienced a smooth transition from your old registry provider to Bridge. We believe it should be easy to move from another registry provider to Bridge.

We're happy to hear that your customers are able to easily place orders. Our team at Bridge has spent 10+ years honing our checkout system to reduce friction, speed up the checkout process, and make checkout easy.

Jordyn (and our other coaches) are happy to help you grow your business. I'll share your kind compliments with the team.

Please contact us anytime ;)

Thank you,

You can easily add the brands you partner with or add exclusive products individually. Our team enjoys Bridge and continues to love the accessibility of this addition to our website!"

"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."

"When we were evaluating online tools to create a Baby Shower Registry solution for our customers we found Bridge Catalog, we only saw wedding registries but loved the concept (yes, we called a current customer and she shared she loved the tool) so we contacted Bridge and the support from the team was outstanding. They created our baby banner and edited the tool as much as they could to fit our needs.

Jordyn trained us, Jason was troubleshooting behind the scenes when I was uploading items the wrong way. We have 72 brands, almost 1,500 products in our store and we were able to have the website ready in a matter of weeks. Setup was super easy!

We just completed our first very successful baby shower registry and we are so excited that we can provide this extra service to our customers and increase our sales!"
