IRVINE, Calif. – Sept. 17, 2013 – BDSmktg has been recognized as a finalist in the Annual 2013 Golden Bridge Awards for its direct sales solution, Brand Shops. The coveted annual Golden Bridge Awards program, encompasses the world’s best in: organizational performance; products and services; innovations; executives and management teams; and women in business.

BDS was selected by the Golden Bridge Awards for its Brand Shops initiative. This initiative is an opportunity for manufacturers to increase brand awareness, drive sales, launch new products, and create positive consumer experiences.

Leveraging its network of more than 50,000 highly skilled team members, Brand Shops’ cutting-edge retail format owns the initiative from start to finish, and connects with consumers like never before by creating an experience where sales professionals thoroughly understand a brand’s products and can intelligently answer questions, thereby increasing sales and awareness.
Brand Shops services include:
- Design: brand insights, consumer insights, strategy, creative, visualization
- Build: creative, layout, mock-up, production, testing
- Install: site selection, timing coordination, logistics, crew work, compliance
- Talent: recruiting, staffing, performance management and compensation
- Performance Management: goals and success evaluation, quality control, communication
