Get in front of
2027 Heritage visitors. Before they book.
A category-exclusive partner SKU tied to the most concentrated buyer-attention week on Hilton Head. 4 slots, one per category, $5,000 all-in.
The tournament
One April week. One island. PGA Tour stage.
Why Heritage week is different.
- ~250,000 visitors across the tournament window — the biggest week of the year for Hilton Head inbound.
- 9–10 month booking lead time for villa, golf, and high-end dining. Decisions are locked far ahead of most travel categories.
- Search peaks Jan–Apr, not in the week itself — the kit drops in February to catch decisions, not arrivals.
- High HHI — single-week trips averaging $4k–$15k per group.
The kit
Free, email-gated, 8-section PDF.
Delivered February 2027: ticket strategy, parking hacks, lodging blueprint, dinner-priority list, tee times, plaid dress code, transportation, day-by-day schedule.
Subscribers self-select for high intent and high spend. Your insert lives inside their planning artifact, not lost in a feed.
The audience
Concentrated. Intent-qualified. Pre-spend.

Insider Letter list
Behavior, not demographics.
Our readers showed up because they’re booking. The signal is stronger than any geographic targeting because they self-identified their trip-window.
Trust transfer.
We’re a local-run editorial source. Sponsored placements run with the same voice and the same care as the unpaid editorial. That trust transfers to the partner.
