Review Guidelines
Product Reviews
Inspired Retailer welcomes your products for review! We feature reviews of giftware, books, and music in every issue. Reader surveys confirm that most retailers read product reviews and ads before any other section of the magazine, and many make their buying decisions based on those thoughtful reviews. They rely on the integrity of Inspired Retailer's independent review process.
If your product is selected for review, you will be notified. Submissions with incomplete information will not be considered. Have questions? Email us.

However, advertising with us is a great way to get your product noticed by our wide readership of independent retailers and buyers. Our sales team would be happy to discuss all your advertising options, including our new ad design services.
