Getting Started for Sponsors
Set up your sponsor account, complete onboarding, and tour the dashboard.
What sponsoring on Fanflet looks like
Speakers run sessions, build a fanflet, and link a QR code so the room scans into a curated resource page. You attach your resources to those fanflets. Audience members tap your link, download your asset, request more info, or join your list, and Fanflet attributes the lead back to you.
Every click, download, and info request on a sponsor-attributed block fires a tracked event and writes a lead record. You see who engaged, with which speaker, and on which resource.
Sign up and onboarding
The whole signup flow is one screen. Submit it and you land on the dashboard.
Create your account
Go to fanflet.com/sponsor/signup and sign up with your work email.
Confirm your email
Open the confirmation link from your inbox. The link verifies your account and sends you to onboarding.
Fill the onboarding form
One screen, five fields. Company name and contact email are required. URL, industry, and logo are optional.
- Company name as speakers and audiences see it.
- URL for shareable links like
fanflet.com/sponsors/your-company. Leave it blank to auto-generate from the company name. - Contact email for partnership questions and lead notifications.
- Industry helps speakers find you in the directory.
- Logo shows on every sponsor block in a fanflet. JPEG, PNG, WebP, GIF, or SVG up to 2 MB.
Speaker label is set later
Did a speaker invite you?
Speakers add resources from sponsors who are not yet on Fanflet. Those are tracked sponsors. Lead and engagement data accumulates under your name. When a speaker invites you to claim the account, you arrive on a signup page with a banner showing your existing views, leads, and subscribers.
Submit the onboarding form on the same page and the claim merges your prior history into your new account. Read Tracked sponsors and the claim flow for the full picture.
Your sponsor dashboard tour
The sidebar groups everything into four areas. Here is what each item does at a high level. Each link goes to the deep dive.
- Overview shows your top KPIs. Active speakers, resources placed, leads captured, and recent engagement.
- Analytics breaks engagement down by resource, speaker, fanflet, and time range.
- Leads is the lead inbox. Every attributed click, download, info request, or email signup lands here with the speaker and resource behind it.
- Resource Library is your reusable catalog. Speakers drop these blocks into their fanflets.
- Campaigns group resources, copy, and goals into a named push. Track performance per campaign instead of per resource.
- My Speakers lists every speaker you have a relationship with. Seat-licensed speakers and tracked-relationship speakers both show here. See Speaker seat licensing.
- Connections is the directory of active and pending connection requests between you and individual speakers.
- Integrations connects your CRM and marketing tools. HubSpot is direct. Other platforms route through Zapier on Studio.
- Billing shows your plan, invoices, and seat usage.
- Activity Log records who did what in your account.
- Settings holds company profile, speaker label, team members, and webhook destinations.
Plan capabilities
Sponsor Studio is the public plan listed on pricing with a Get in touch CTA. Sponsor Connect is a smaller starter tier offered during onboarding conversations. Here is the shape of each.
- Sponsor Connect fits a single team running a focused program. Limited speaker connections, a starter resource library, a few campaigns, one user seat, and 90-day analytics retention. HubSpot direct and Zapier are not included on Connect.
- Sponsor Studio fits teams running sponsorships at scale. Unlimited connections, resources, campaigns, and seats. Lifetime aggregate analytics retention, HubSpot integration, Zapier, SSO, audit log, branded landing pages, and speaker seat licensing.
First five minutes
Run this checklist right after onboarding so the first speaker who looks you up sees a complete profile.
Finish your profile
Open Settings and add a logo, a one-line description, and a contact link if you skipped them at signup.
Build your resource library
Add three to five resources to Resource Library. Lead with one high-value asset like a guide or template. Speakers pick from this list when adding sponsor blocks.
Request your first speaker connection
Go to Connections and find a speaker whose audience matches yours. Send a connection request with a short note about the resources you want them to feature.
