Tier5Shop reaches a small but engaged audience of consumers who arrive specifically to research products before buying. Our readers are not casual browsers — they are at the bottom of the funnel, comparing options, and looking for a trusted recommendation.
This page exists to set honest expectations.
What we offer
- Display advertising. Standard IAB banner placements in our desktop and mobile layouts. Maximum two banners per page. All placements are clearly visually separated from editorial.
- Newsletter sponsorship. Our weekly newsletter goes to subscribers who explicitly opted in. Sponsorships are limited to one per issue and are labelled “Sponsored” at the top of the slot.
- Sponsored editorial. Clearly labelled “Sponsored” wherever it appears. Our editorial team writes the copy in our house style. Sponsored editorial has no effect on independent reviews in the same category.
Our principles
- All advertising is clearly labelled. We do not publish disguised promotion.
- Advertising relationships never affect editorial coverage or scores. A brand can advertise here and still receive a critical review the next month.
- We reserve the right to decline any advertising that conflicts with our editorial standards.
What we don’t accept
- Advertising that implies an editorial endorsement we have not earned.
- Paid placement in “best of” lists.
- Pay-to-rank or pay-for-score arrangements.
- Advertising for products in active editorial consideration (to avoid even the appearance of influence).
Audience notes
Honest disclosure: we are a growing publication, not a media giant. Our traffic and subscriber numbers are available privately to serious partners — we don’t publish them on a sales page because the numbers change weekly and we don’t want anyone making decisions off stale screenshots.
We will share current figures, audience breakdowns, and category specifics under NDA on request.
