Create Sponsorship Levels for Events

Sponsorship levels are part of what determine the order that sponsor logos or names display on the website. In addition, sponsors may be sorted within that level by assigning a Logo Sort Order. Sort order is determined as follows:

Sponsorship level

Logo sort order assignment

Alphabetical by member name

If no sponsorship levels are assigned, logo sort order will be the priority sort. If no sort orders are assigned, then the order will be displayed alphabetically.

In this example, with Gold, Silver, and Bronze sponsorship levels created and ordered respectively, the sponsors’ name and logo will appear on the website as follows: A Rental Place, Creative Ink Advertising, Clarity Fireplace, Inc., Little World Child Care, LearyCorp, ABC Rentals, Natural Foods, Inc.

Sponsorship level titles may also display on the website if desired and is selected to “Display Heading” or “Do Not Display” on a level by level basis.

Default sponsorship levels may be created to use on events as desired (so that you only create the levels once and may use multiple times). Also, each event may have a unique set of sponsorship levels defined.
