There are thousands of independent brick & mortar stores that are unable to succeed online. Due to expenses and other obstacles, their websites are a shadow of a wonderful, brick-and-mortar store. Sadly, this often spells doom for the store.  With the rise of e-commerce competition, independent retailers need a champion to fight for them.

This is where Bridge helps them. Bridge is an e-commerce platform that gives independent retailers a fighting chance. Hundreds of retailers have chosen Bridge to offer a fully loaded, product-rich website. With this, they can push back against big tech companies like Amazon. 

On Bridge, retailers, brands, and sales reps collaborate on products from 2,900 brands. Retailers sell these products, share these products on social media, and use the products to power their gift registries. Brands such as Le Creuset, Juliska, Vietri, and Michael Aram use Bridge to promote their products.
