SPONSOR THE REVIEW
Put your name in front of the people who run the Inland Empire.
The Citrus Belt Review is read by the business owners, executives, and civic leaders shaping Riverside and San Bernardino counties. Sponsorship places your brand inside the publication they read to stay ahead.
WHO READS THE REVIEW
A focused audience, by design.
The Review covers the Inland Empire's economy and civic life — commercial real estate, logistics and manufacturing, hiring, local government, and the institutions that move the region. It's written for the people making decisions here — owners, executives, HR and operations leaders, brokers, bankers, and civic officials — and lands in their inboxes Tuesday and Thursday mornings.
That focus is the point. We don't chase a general audience, and we keep sponsorship deliberately limited. When your name appears in The Review, it appears in front of a professional readership — and very little else competes with it for attention.
PLACEMENTS
Three ways to appear.
Primary Placement
The top position in the newsletter — above the lead story. Every reader sees your message before anything else in the issue. The largest placement we offer, clearly presented as the issue’s sponsor.
Secondary Placement
A mid-issue position set within the editorial flow, where reader attention is already engaged. On Thursdays, this placement sits directly above the Weekend section — the issue’s most leisurely read.
Long Read Sponsorship
Your name attached to the week’s feature story — an attribution line in Thursday’s email, plus a sponsor banner on the article page itself, which keeps working for as long as the story stays online.
Where your placement sits.
The Review runs two sponsor placements per issue — no more. The primary placement opens the issue; the secondary placement sits inside it. Both are clearly marked as sponsored and held to the same design standard as the editorial around them.
Limited inventory is deliberate. A crowded newsletter dilutes every advertiser in it. Two placements per issue means your message is one of two, not one of twenty.
OUR COMMITMENTS
Two rules that protect your investment.
One sponsor per category.
During your term, we won't run paid sponsorship from a direct competitor in your category — anywhere in the publication. If you're the commercial real estate sponsor, you're the only one. Exclusivity isn't an upsell; it's how we structure sponsorship.
Editorial stays independent.
Sponsorship never buys coverage, and it never softens it. That separation is what keeps the readership engaged — and an engaged readership is exactly what you're sponsoring. Your placement benefits from the credibility; it doesn't borrow against it.
