Gloria at Rejuvenate by Jenna:
With my business I always have promotions especially since covid started. Budgets are tight on all ends and supplies are still hard to get or the prices have gone up due to the pandemic . Shipping also is outrages with most my suppliers . But I had to increase (not by much) my prices so atleast break even .
In my line of work seems business was very slow last quarter but hoping for a better year end since business seems to be picking up a little. But yes I always give my customers discounts and free gifts over a certain amount .

Allison Zisko in this month’s HFN shares that The Knot has launched its own direct-to-consumer sales channel—seeking to cut out its long-standing brick-and-mortar partners like Macy’s, Target, and indie stores. 

This new sales channel raises the stakes  on the growing battle between The Knot and Zola. 

Macy’s, Walmart, and Target would be wise to team up and launch their own gift registry platform—akin to how the TV ...Read more of post

In this month’s HFN magazine, Editor Allison Zisko gives Bridge a shout out in her ‘Letter from the Editor’ column. She encourages the home goods industry to adopt digital marketplaces (trade shows) now, and notes that Bridge started offering an online platform for the tabletop industry years ago. 

She notes that many big, well-funded trade shows (read IMC, which may spend $100m, and Messe) have suddenly seen the writing on the wall and are ...Read more of post

Do you offer college students a gift registry? Allison Zisko encourages you to in this month’s HFN. The average college room decorating bill is $942, just shy of what the average wedding registry produces in sales. Ms. Zisko shares that Amazon is making big inroads and investments in the college market. What are you doing to keep pace?

Have we lost our way? A recent HFN magazine article by Allison Zisko shares how tariffs may raise the price of low cost goods from China. Question: what happened to our industry asking for things to be made in America? We haven’t just slid a little—the article states that 56% of furniture comes from China. Is anyone making anything anywhere in America anymore? And, why is this question relevant? I work daily to get consumers to shop local. Lives depend on it. Family ...Read more of post
