Retail Stars, 2010

Home Accents Today is compiling information for its annual 50 Retail Stars feature which will publish in the May issue.

This feature will present vital statistics on home accent retailers across the U.S. It is not a ranking and is not based on sales volume. Instead, we are striving to present 50 home accent retailers that are successful and creative within their market. All sales figures will be published as Home Accents Today market research estimates.

Please submit all forms by Friday, March 26th. If you have any questions, contact Group Research Manager Dana French at 336-605-1091 or you may email Dana at dfrench@reedbusiness.com.

If you would like to submit images of your store, email Retail Editor Susan Dickenson at susan.dickenson@reedbusiness.com.

Thank you for your participation!
