Site Sponsorship on HomeSchoolReviews.com (Price: $1,500 annually)
This advertising program is designed for curriculum companies that have products we list for review. In this program, the title of the curriculum, the ‘more information’ link to your website, and an image or logo will be featured in tandem with posted curriculum reviews for all of your company’s products. In addition, your company will be listed as a Site Sponsor on the HomeSchoolReviews.com homepage.
Product Shot AND Buy Now! button on HomeschoolReviews.com (Price: $650 annually)
If you’re a publisher with only one or two titles listed for review, this option makes the most economical sense.

These add-ons may also be purchased separately: Image or product shot: $250/year; Buy Now! button with link to your website: $600/year.
