Real Simple launched in March 2000 and quickly became one of the industry's biggest success stories. The magazine has struck a chord with busy women looking to make life easier, currently reaching 8.6 million readers per month.

Real Simple has expanded its brand promise, "life made easier," to other platforms, including cookbooks; books; special issues; and products sold at Bed Bath & Beyond.

Real Simple is part of Meredith Corporation, one of the largest content companies in the world and the largest magazine operator in the United States.
