RugIndustry is the modern trade publication for US rug retailers, manufacturers, and designers. Our readers run rug stores, source product, specify for design projects, and write the checks for your category every day.
We offer six product types. Mix and match. Founding advertisers get the launch rate locked in for 12 months — even after we move to standard pricing.

Why founding advertiser pricing exists. We're new. You're taking a chance on us. In exchange, you get rates that step up as our audience grows — and you keep your locked rate for 12 months even after the market price moves. After 12 months you renew at the then-current standard rate.
Audience & Reach
RugIndustry is launching with a focused U.S. audience: store owners, designers, manufacturers, and service providers in the rug trade. Our audience is narrow by design — every reader is a decision-maker in the category your products serve.

Important. Sponsored content is always clearly labeled as sponsored. Banner ads, directory listings, and newsletter sponsorships are clearly marked. We do not sell editorial coverage.
