WELCOME

Monograms America, Inc. is a growing network of diverse business owners from across the country, many of whom own multiple stores. Originally formed in 1993 as Sew Smart, the organization focused solely on personalized products. However, a few years later, the need to re-brand arose, and Monograms America was born. Today, the organization offers a 50-mile radius territory protection, among other benefits, that allows members to freely share information about merchandise without fear of competition. The territory protection allows our members to freely share what works, and what doesn’t work, when it comes to merchandise ordered for their stores without fear of competition. More often than not, when one or two stores order an item, the information is shared through our private networking capabilities and before a buying show is over, more stores will have placed the order for that product! It is through that buying power that Monograms America member stores began to grow into diverse gift stores & boutiques. That growth and change produced another need to re-brand. In 2017, we renamed our organization to MAI Retailers to accurately depict our business owners, but to also create strong relationships that will positively impact the small and major brand vendors with our loyalty in reoccurring orders. This produces buying discounts that return a positive impact in our member’s individual business building strong relationships with vendors and providing recurring orders that benefit members' businesses.
