Want to create sponsor groups and a hierarchy within your event? Use the 'sponsor type' field to manage sponsor groups!
Sponsor types
- If your event is taking a tiered approach to supporting sponsors i.e. gold, silver & bronze be clear on your tiering approach and naming structure before creating any sponsors.
- When adding a sponsor, ensure that each sponsor has been given a type as these will be the titles of your hierarchy groups.
- You can manually add this information by going into the sponsor zone and updating the details.
- You can also control the size of each groups logo's so that they'll visually represent the Sponsor hierarchy. The logos can range from X-Large (i.e. Gold level sponsors) to small (i.e. Bronze level sponsors.
Tip: Internally you might tier your supporting Sponsors but perhaps you don't want the tiering system to be visually obvious within your event?
To tier sponsors but hide the 'type' from public view, simply go into 'page settings' & disable 'show sponsor types'.
Sort mode
- Navigate to the sponsors tab of the event console sidebar.
- Select sort mode and here you will choose between sorting by sponsor type and sponsors from a specific type.
- Sorting sponsor type will enable you to move your sponsor types either up and down to match your hierarchy. For example, if you would like the 'gold' sponsor group to appear before 'silver' the assortment arrows enable you to change the order accordingly. You can also choose the logo size for each group so that higher tiered sponsors have a visibly larger logo, if required.
- Sorting sponsors from a specific type will let you sort the position of sponsors within a particular type of sponsor i.e. arranging sponsors alphabetically.
Sponsor Tags
You are also able to create specific tags for your sponsors that will be visible on the sponsor pages. The tags will be visible on top the sponsor banners on the sponsor pages.
