Revide vs spreadsheets: Which is right for your bridal store?

Many bridal stores successfully run their businesses using spreadsheets, diaries and a collection of different tools.

In fact, some of the most successful stores in the industry started exactly that way.

The right approach depends on how you work and what stage your business is at.

Spreadsheets

Spreadsheets are flexible and familiar.

Many stores use them to manage:

• appointments
• customer records
• inventory
• measurements
• designer orders
• reporting

For some stores, spreadsheets provide a simple and low-cost solution.
