RetailWire Editorial Policy
Last Updated: January 2026
Our Mission
Since 2002, RetailWire has been the retail industry’s independent voice, bringing you objective news coverage, expert analysis, and meaningful discussion.
Editorial Independence
Our editorial content is never for sale. Companies cannot pay for coverage, buy favorable mentions, or influence our news selection. Our editorial team picks stories based solely on what’s relevant and important to retail professionals.
How We Make Money
RetailWire generates revenue through three channels:
- Sponsored content. We partner with retail technology companies to create educational content for our audience. All sponsored content is clearly labeled as “Sponsored” or “Presented by [Company Name].”
- Brand awareness and promotion. Sponsors can promote their solutions through our newsletters, website, and social channels. These placements are clearly marked as sponsored or advertising.
- Lead and professional introductions. We facilitate connections between technology providers and retail professionals where we see a professional fit and mutual benefit.
Our Standards
All sponsored content is clearly labeled. We maintain standards for relevance and quality. Companies cannot pay for editorial coverage or influence our news selection. All retail professionals can access RetailWire’s core content for free.
