Our History
Smart Retailer was established in 1993 as Country Business magazine with a focus on the country gift market. Since then, the magazine has expanded its reach to include all of the popular gift and home-décor styles. In 2012, the magazine changed its name to Smart Retailer to stay current in the market and to reach a widening audience. Today, Smart Retailer is a valuable resource for independent retailers of all types of gifts and home décor.
