The two go hand-in-hand to give your sponsors the recognition they deserve

If you're on Event Caddy PRO you can create different sponsorship packages (such as hole sponsor, platinum sponsor and so on) and have them available for sale through your online store.

Each time you sell one of these sponsorship packages you have the option to give the sponsor recognition by adding their logo to your tournament site and placing them under the category of your choosing (which should match the sponsor category from your online store so everything is consistent).

Let's walk through an example of how this all ties together:

I've upgraded my tournament to Event Caddy PRO so I can sell sponsorships through an online store. I plan to offer three sponsorship packages - gold, silver and bronze.

  • STEP 1: On my admin dashboard I select ONLINE STORE > Product Categories from the side navigation to create a category called "Sponsorships" (click here for full details on how to create product categories).

  • STEP 2: With my 'Sponsorship' category in place I now select ONLINE STORE > Manage Products to create my Gold Sponsor, Silver Sponsor and Bronze Sponsor products (click here for full details on how to create products).

  • STEP 3: My sponsor packages have been created and are ready for prospective sponsors to purchase from my online store. The restaurant Alpine Fresh Coffee goes to the online store for my tournament and chooses to purchase the Silver Sponsor product. They complete the transaction and the revenue gets added to the Event Finances section on my tournament dashboard.

  • STEP 4: To show my appreciation to Alpine Fresh Coffee, I contact them and ask if they would be willing to provide a logo to display on my tournament website advertising they are a Silver Sponsor. Alpine Fresh Coffee is more than happy to do this and sends me a logo.

  • STEP 5: Back on my admin dashboard, I go to SPONSORS > Sponsorship Types to create my Gold Sponsor, Silver Sponsor and Bronze Sponsor categories (click here for full details on how to create sponsor categories).

  • STEP 6: With my sponsor categories created I now go to SPONSORS > Manage Sponsors so I can add Alpine Fresh Coffee there and display their logo on my tournament website. Since they paid as a Silver Sponsor I make sure to select that as the sponsorship type so it will show under that heading on my tournament site (click here for full details on how to display sponsors on your tournament site).

If you are on the FREE version of Event Caddy, you do not have access to the online store so you cannot sell sponsorships. You would only be able to display a sponsor's logo if they agree to that (and why wouldn't they when it's free advertising for them and shows they contributed to an amazing cause?).

Additional Information

  • How do I enable the store 'Become a Sponsor' button on my website homepage, it isn't showing?
    Ensure the button is not hidden under Tournament -> Settings

  • Can I see who has purchased a product/item from my Online Store and produce a report? I need a report on a specific product that has been purchased.

    To see a list of who has purchased items from your Online Store, you can go to Online Store -> Manage Products. Beside each product (if someone has purchased it) there is a link for 'Consumer Reports'. This will take you to a page with a list of transactions for that item, where you can also download a CSV if needed.
