The two slots

What it is |
| Top sponsor slot |

A compact box below the product list. One per issue. Your square logo, a headline, one line and a link. |
Top sponsor slot ($195): Reserves the top sponsor slot in one of the first issues of New in ToyShow after relaunch. No audience size or send date is guaranteed; full refund if no issue is sent by Dec 31, 2026.

What to send us
- The slot you booked (Top or Small) and the company name on the payment.
- Your image or logo as an attachment. Top slot: 1200 x 600 px, JPG or PNG, under 200 KB. Small slot: 120 x 120 px square logo, JPG or PNG with a solid background, under 50 KB.
- Your copy as plain text in the email. Top slot: sponsor name (up to 40 characters), headline (up to 60), body (up to 220) and button label (up to 20). Small slot: sponsor name (up to 40), headline (up to 45), one line (up to 90) and link label (up to 15).
- One https link to your own website or product page.
- A contact to approve the proof.
Keep key text out of the image. Many inboxes block images by default.
Link rules
- One link per slot, https only, going to your own site or product page. No redirect chains, link shorteners or downloads.
- Amazon links carry our Amazon Associates tag. We add or replace it before the send.
- We may add UTM tags so you can see clicks in your own analytics. We don't promise or report click numbers.
- We test the link before the send. A dead link holds your slot until it's fixed.
What we can't run
- Pros and cons, ratings, scores or verdicts. A sponsor slot describes your brand and products only.
- Claims that ToyDirectory endorsed, awarded or tested your product, unless it's true and documented.
- Health, safety or educational-outcome claims you can't support, and any product under an active CPSC recall.
- Prices or discounts we can't check on your own website.
- Mentions of or links to publications and sites on our excluded list. We'll tell you if your copy hits one.
- Weapons, vaping, alcohol, adult content, gambling, crypto or get-rich offers. No forms or tracking pixels.
- Copy that looks like editorial. The Sponsored label always stays.
