Advertising that belongs here.

Paid placements on vSIStas feel like part of the mall — tasteful, useful, and clearly identified. Black-owned businesses lead with their story; aligned outside brands sponsor what strengthens the vSIS community.

Packages

Four ways to show up

Every package is designed to add to the mall, not interrupt it. Pick the lane that fits — or tell us what you have in mind.

For businesses

Storefront Spotlight

Your storefront, center stage. Premium placement puts you at the top of relevant searches and department browsing, while richer storytelling — expanded profiles, photo stories, seasonal features — keeps regulars coming back and turns first-time visitors into repeat customers.

Expanded storytelling: photos, founder story, seasonal features

For outside brands

Atrium Sponsorship

Stand with the vSIS community, not above it. Sponsor a department, shopping guide, event, or vSIS community initiative and show up as a genuine supporter of Black commerce — visible, welcome, and always clearly labeled as a sponsor.

Co-branded storytelling that centers the vSIS community
Clear sponsored labeling on every placement

Story-led

Meet the Maker

Editorial, not advertorial. A long-form founder profile written with care — the story behind the business, the craft, the why. Readers meet the person first, then the product, and the story keeps working long after it publishes.

vSIS Community-first

vSIS Community Bulletin

The board where the vSIS community talks. Pin your pop-ups, workshops, hiring calls, grants, and events where the vSIS community already gathers — practical visibility for the things that move people.

Our promise: every paid placement on vSIStas is visibly labeled as sponsored — no exceptions, no fine print. Final rates and eligibility will be defined before launch, so you will always know exactly what you are getting.
