With Locable’s Sponsor Embed Tool, you can easily create groups of businesses and seamlessly display their logos, complete with links to their websites. Whether you’re showcasing sponsor support for an organization-wide initiative, a specific event, or a campaign, this tool makes it effortless to give your sponsors the recognition they deserve.
In this article, we’ll guide you through:
- Creating a Sponsor Recognition Embed: Learn how to set up your group of sponsors.
- Adding Sponsors to the Embed: Step-by-step instructions for including sponsor details and logos.
- Embedding Sponsors on Your Website: Discover how to add your sponsor group to an entire website, a single webpage, or within an event listing.
Our tool offers the flexibility to display sponsor logos in either a grid layout or as a carousel (slider), ensuring you have the right format for any context. For instances where a dedicated sponsor page is needed, you can also use a directory to provide more comprehensive recognition.
Powered by Local Connections™ Integration
As part of Locable’s suite of Local Connections™ tools, the Sponsor Embed leverages data from your CRM for Companies and Causes. This means that sponsors must first be added to your CRM. Once added, you can manage, categorize, and display sponsors effortlessly—either by adding them directly or through various integrated channels.
Creating Your Sponsor Embed
To create meaningful sponsor groupings, you'll want to tailor each embed to serve a specific purpose, such as recognizing sponsors for a particular event, campaign, or organization-wide initiative. This approach ensures that each grouping highlights the right sponsors in the most relevant context, providing targeted recognition that maximizes their impact.
You can create a Sponsor Embed by going to Local Connections > Sponsor Embeds then click Add Sponsor Embed.
From here, you can add the initial settings to create the embed:
-
Name - You will want to give the sponsor embed a clear and descriptive name. This will be helpful when you choose the embed to add to your various events or web pages, etc.
-
Header - Here you can add an optional title/label that will appear above the group of sponsors on the public-facing view. For example, 'Thank you to our Generous Sponsors', or 'Diamond Level Members' when recognizing groups of companies. Alternatively, you can add information to the page wherever you embed this.
-
Sponsor Layout - Choose between a static grid and a sliding carousel.
-
Number of items - Select how many logos to show on the grid or carousel. A lower number will show larger logos. NOTE: This must be an even number, and all included logos will be used.
-
Paid accounts can hide Locable branding when embedding on 3rd party websites.
-
Click Save Settings to complete the creation of the embed.
Managing Sponsors in your Embed
Once created, you can manage the sponsors/businesses that are to be included in this grouping.
- To add a company, click on Add a Source and select the company from your CRM. If the company does not already exist in your CRM, you will need to add it first.
- Make sure the sponsor’s logo is included in the company's CRM record, as companies without logos will not be displayed alongside other sponsors.
- Once a company is saved in the embed, you have the option to Remove companies by selecting the appropriate checkbox.
- Finally, click Save Settings to apply your changes.
NOTE: Deleting this embed will remove it permanently and any page it's been installed on will show an error message - be sure to uninstall it first. You can always save it for later without it being used.
