Sponsors are an important part of many charity auctions, and recognizing them properly helps strengthen relationships and encourage future support.
CharityAuctions makes it easy to add sponsors to your event and display their logos or names in multiple locations throughout your auction.
Where to Manage Sponsor Logos
All sponsor information is managed directly from the Item Management area of your auction.
To access sponsor settings:
- Open your auction dashboard.
- In the left navigation menu, click Item Management.
- Select Sponsor Logos.
This section is the central location where all sponsor details are added, edited, and managed.
Adding a Sponsor Logo or Name
You can recognize sponsors in two different ways:
• By uploading a sponsor logo image
• By entering a sponsor name as text
To add a sponsor:
- Go to Item Management > Sponsor Logos.
- Click Add Sponsor.
- Upload a logo image, or type in the sponsor name.
- Choose where the sponsor should be displayed.
- Save your changes.
Once saved, the sponsor will be added to your auction immediately.
Updating an Existing Sponsor
Sponsor information can be edited at any time.
To update a sponsor:
- Open Item Management > Sponsor Logos.
- Select the sponsor you want to update.
- Change the logo image or edit the sponsor name.
- Adjust display settings if needed.
- Save your updates.
Any changes you make will be reflected instantly throughout your auction.
Choosing Where Sponsors Appear
CharityAuctions includes several placement options so you can control exactly where sponsors are shown.
When adding or editing a sponsor, you can select from multiple display areas, such as:
• The main auction event page
• Sponsor recognition sections
• Promotional areas within the auction
• Other designated sponsor locations
This allows you to highlight sponsors in the places that matter most for your event.
Recommended Logo Guidelines
While there are no strict size requirements, following a few simple guidelines will help sponsor logos look their best.
For best results:
• Use clear, high-quality images
• Upload JPG or PNG files
• Avoid very small or low-resolution logos
• Use images with transparent backgrounds when possible
• Keep logo styles and sizes consistent
High-quality logos help create a more professional appearance for your auction.
Organizing Sponsors by Level
If your event includes different sponsorship packages, you can reflect that within your auction.
You can:
• Add sponsors at any time
• Group or display them in different placement areas
• Highlight top-level sponsors more prominently
• Recognize all levels of support appropriately
This gives you flexibility to present sponsors in a way that matches your event structure.
Best Practices
To get the most out of sponsor recognition:
• Add sponsors early in the auction setup process
• Use clean, professional logo images
• Double-check sponsor names for accuracy
• Preview sponsor placements before your event
• Update logos if sponsors provide new branding
Proper sponsor presentation helps create a polished and professional auction experience.
