Creating a sponsorship

A sponsorship is a single tier or product that businesses can buy or claim on an event — for example "Gold Sponsor" or "Beverage Sponsor". Each sponsorship has a price, an inventory count, a list of benefits, and an availability status.

• You need an org_manager or chamber_staff role

• The parent event must already exist (any status — draft, active, or archived)

• Decide on price, inventory count, and at least one benefit before starting

1. Open the parent event from Sidebar > Events

2. Click Add sponsorship

3. Enter a Name (e.g., "Gold Sponsor")

4. Enter Price in dollars

5. Set Inventory — how many of this sponsorship can be sold

6. Add a Short description (shown on cards) and Long description (shown on the sponsorship page)

7. Upload a Featured image (optional)

8. Add Benefits one at a time (e.g., "Logo on event signage", "6 tickets")

9. Pick an Exposure tier — controls placement on the Our Sponsors wall

10. Set Availability — typically not_yet_available while building, then public when ready

11. Click Save

• Sort tiers by price (highest first) using the display-order field — sponsors anchor on the top tier

• Use 4-6 benefits per tier — too few feels thin, too many is hard to scan

• Set inventory honestly — overselling creates manual cleanup

• Use exposure tiers to make top sponsors stand out on the sponsor wall

Can I change the price after publishing?
Yes, but it does not affect existing orders. New buyers pay the new price.

What is the difference between a sponsorship and a package?
A package bundles multiple sponsorships at a discount. Packages require Pro or Premier.

Do I need to set a featured image?
No, but it makes your sponsorships much more compelling on the public page.
