Time to Secure Your Advertising Space in SCIFTS Monthly Newsletter
SCiftS is now accepting newsletter and website advertisements for our 2025-2026 year. Newsletter ads will be published in all ten issues (September 2025 through June 2026) of our organization’s newsletter sent to members and subscribers of the food industry. Additional copies of the newsletter are distributed to thousands of exhibitors and attendees at our annual Suppliers Night Expo. Reserve early, as advertising space sells out quickly!
Due to significant interest in advertising with the SCiftS organization – and limited available space – payment-in-full with a completed Authorization Form must be received before placement of any advertisement may be guaranteed. Ad placement requests are honored on a first come, first serve basis.
Advertising with Southern California IFT is an excellent way to promote your company, as well as to show your support of vital food industry programs!
