Rough estimate. Audience numbers are forecasts based on prior April traffic patterns. Actual performance depends on your offer, asset quality, and category. Conversion ranges of 0.3%–1.2% are typical for editorial-driven travel referrals.
Three placement formats across the kit, the guide page, and the Heritage-week newsletter. Designed by us, in our voice, clearly labeled as Sponsored.
A full-page editorial spread inside the Feb 2027 PDF: 200-word write-up, hero photo, booking link. Each kit subscriber sees four — yours and three other categories.

Tell us your category. We’ll reply within 24 hours with an open-slot confirmation, a sample of last year’s kit page, and a calendar link to lock the slot.
The window runs April 1 to April 30, 2027. The kit insert ships in February 2027. Logo on /guides/2027-rbc-heritage goes up the moment payment confirms. Newsletter placements run Apr 12–18.
We take one lodging operator, one golf / tee-time concierge, one restaurant or reservation service, and one transportation / concierge provider. We don’t double up. Adjacent categories (e.g., a villa company and a resort) can co-exist if their offerings don’t overlap; we’ll work that out on the call.
Every outbound link to your brand from our pages carries utm_campaign=heritage_2027. We aggregate clicks plus directory-tracked phone-calls and inquiries into a quarterly report. You see Hilton Ahead as a source in your own analytics; we cross-check with our directory event log.
Sponsorship is clearly labeled. We won’t inflate ranking on tier-list content. We won’t recommend a partner we wouldn’t recommend pre-deal. Editorial control of the kit’s tier lists stays with us.
We’ll offer a Curated or Signature slot for the rest of 2027 with a Heritage-week emphasis baked in, and right of first refusal on Heritage 2028. Pricing differs (see /sponsorships).
Full refund up to 30 days before the kit ships (so until early January 2027). After that, kit and digital placements are non-refundable; we’ll prorate any portion we’re unable to deliver.
We pitch this once. 4 of 4slots are open. We’ll close the window when the kit ships, no exceptions.
