About the DeVine Bridge Program
The Solarek Studio offers the DeVine Website Bridge program to empower retailers to sell 1,000's of products quickly and easily. The program is made possible by the participation of three parties:

• Devine Corporation
• A retailer
• Solarek Studio (who maintains DeVine's website).

The Bridge program allows retailers to take advantage of the investment that DeVine made into its comprehensive website for a fraction of the cost. A customized, technical bridge tool is setup that "ports" the DeVine website products to the retailer's website. The retailer's website overall looks the same. As such, an online customer doesn't even know the Bridge process is happening. With the Bridge program, the retailer's site can sell DeVine's database of 1,000's of products, show photos that accompany these products, and receive automatic updating of products on the retailers site (so the retailers doesn't have to maintain the products when prices change, etc.).

Furthermore, the retailer will receive promotion on DeVine's Find a Store page. A special Bridge icon will appear next to all Bridge partners. In addition, Devine's website has achieved a very high ranking in Google and other search engines. This same high ranking is not guaranteed but can be expected from the retailer's website "mirroring" the DeVine website. Since integrating the Bridge, one retailer in the Bridge program has seen sales increase by 450% over last year.

The following steps are needed to set up the Bridge service:

1. The Retailer chooses which brands it would like from DeVine's site placed on its site. This includes the potential for approximately:
   • 160 Alberto Pinto products
   • 500 Anna Weatherley products
   • 900 Ercuis products
   • Couzon products (Coming in 2010)
   • 460 J.L. Coquet products
   • 370 Jaune de Chrome products
   • 780 Niderviller products
   • 1,880 Raynaud products
   • 560 Varga crystal products
   This is more than 5,300 products in total. (Note: these amounts are estimates, and may vary in actuality.
2. Solarek assess the retailer's website to assess the best way to Bridge the products.
3. Solarek setups the Bridge, and products appear on the retailer's site.
4. A month of free fine tuning is provided to ensure the system is operating properly

Examples of how Bridge works

Adding items:

1. DeVine adds a new Anna Weatherley pattern that consists of 20 items. DeVine adds these 20 items to its website, including pictures, price, and stock.
2. The items appear on the Bridge partner's website the same day with no work needed by the Bridge partner. The pictures, stock, and prices all appear. As such, Bridge partners are the first to offer new patterns on their site. As soon as DeVine offers them, the partner can also sell them.

Removing items:

1. DeVine discontinues a pattern. DeVine remove the pattern from their site.
2. The Bridge removes the pattern from the retailers site, saving the retailer from having to do so, or wasting time taking an order for a discontinued item left up on their website.

Making a sale:

1. A consumer views all Anna Weatherley's items on a retailer's site as its powered by the Bridge. The consumer decides to purchase an item, checks out online via the retailers pre-existing online payment tool.
2. The retailer receives this order from the customer online, then places an order for the item from DeVine just like it would a in-store special order for a DeVine item. The retailer requests that the Bridge item be drop shipped to the customer. The retailer never has to carry the Bridge item in stock, or 'touch' the item itself.
