American Quilt Retailer subscribers read and depend on the magazine as the source for business and industry news. The comment heard most often from our readers is, “I read it from cover to cover!” Our unique policy of keeping advertising and editorial content separate, maintains the editorial integrity of the publication. This keeps readership and interest in the magazine high. Our readers know the editorial information they receive is unbiased and accurate, and they know the advertisers are the best resources in the industry — resources who are interested in keeping their clients up-to-date on their products.
American Quilt Retailer has many regular advertisers who have advertised in every issue for years and even a few who have given instructions to run their ads in every issue forever — or at least until further notice. Advertising in American Quilt Retailer works for them, and it can work for you too.
