Bright Stores April Newsletter

Bright Stores hits 1000 Company Stores!

We now proudly host and run over 1000 Company Store programs throughout the United States and Canada.  This is an extremely exciting benchmark for our team here at Bright Stores and we want to extend a big “THANK YOU” to our loyal distributor partners, who continue to support our technology and our company.  We also appreciate all of the wonderful referrals we get from you and ask that you keep spreading the word about the Bright Stores system!  And, as you’ve probably come to expect from Bright Stores, our system will only continue to outperform our competitors with all the enhancements we have planned for 2009!

Supply Chain Management

Speaking of enhancements, we’re finally ready to roll out our new Supply Chain Management feature.  (Yes, we’re a bit fashionably late…we’ve been overhauling this project to accommodate even more functionality.)  We will be releasing a version of SCM to a few of our clients for beta testing in May.  Once we’re confident in that testing, we will be making it available to everyone.  Our goal is a June 1st launch.  This powerful feature is going to help “fill the gap” in the ordering process with suppliers, by automating the creation and delivery of purchase orders to your suppliers.

Bright Stores University Webinars

In April, we started a new series of Webinars to keep you more educated and informed on how to effectively run, market and sell Company Store programs.  We will continue to offer these Webinars on a monthly basis in the upcoming months.  You can also find several of them available for download on our website.   We wanted to share some of the great feedback we’ve received so far:

"Thanks for producing the webinar.  I found the diagram at the beginning and the simple explanation of integration to be most helpful.”

 “I appreciated the very basic approach and execution of the webinar.  I look forward to the next step in offering this execution when needed by my customers.”

“I really enjoyed the Webinar. Also, the Power Points were really attractive… Anyway, I'll look forward to attending more.  You might think of giving some sort of “Degree" for distributors who have attended all of the Webinars in your series (Build their attendance & loyalty)… "Certified Company Store Specialist" awarded by BSU - then you would be the benchmark!”
   

Brand New On-Demand Training Videos

We hope that many of you have been able to experience this cool new training feature in our Company Store Manager.  We are currently adding more videos on specific “features” in our system, in our on-going effort to provide the best Company Store system and support in the industry.  You can always visit www.companystorehelp.com to see what’s new!
