Firmly Established

Since establishing in 1981 as a buying source for retail store owners, Retailers Forum has built a strong niche among chain, variety and mid-size general merchandise stores.

Using this method, we deliver new buyers to you with every issue in which you advertise. Retailers Forum is also circulated at over 50 merchandise trade shows yearly.

New Stores Added Monthly

Every month we add between 1,000 and 2,500 newly opened stores to our complimentary mailing lists.

These fresh prospects are obtained through local utility and phone companies and are businesses opened within the last six months. They are the most responsive buyers in the industry as they are eager to find new suppliers and merchandise.
