The best sponsorship package examples share one thing: three to five named tiers, each with a fixed price and a short list of exactly what the sponsor gets. The names and dollar amounts change by industry, but the structure that closes deals is the same across events, nonprofits, teams and creators. Below are five real tier structures you can adapt, with what belongs in each level and how to price them.

Every example follows the same rule: price to the value the sponsor gets in front of your audience, not to the amount you want to raise. For the full method behind these, see our sponsorship packages levels and pricing guide.

What makes a good sponsorship package example?

A good sponsorship package is a defined bundle of benefits at a set price, offered as one of several tiers so a brand can pick the level that fits its budget. The strong examples name each tier, list its contents in a few bullets, and step the price so the top tier is the clear value per dollar. The weak ones offer a single "sponsor us" ask or a ten-column grid nobody reads. Structure and clarity beat length every time.

Example 1: The classic metal tiers (events and conferences)

The most common structure, and for good reason. It reads instantly because everyone already understands the ranking.

TierTypical share of goalContents
Platinum / titleAnchor tierNaming, keynote or main slot, top logo, exclusivity, attendee list, most passes
GoldLargeSpeaking session, prominent logo, large booth, lead scans, several passes
SilverMediumMid logo, standard booth or session, a few mentions and passes
BronzeEntryLogo on site and signage, a listing, one or two passes

Price the top tier around 3 to 5 times the bronze tier for the same audience. The gap should feel earned through the exclusive assets, naming and the keynote, that only the top tier gets.

Example 2: The nonprofit impact ladder

Nonprofits sell impact and community reach, so the tiers are often named for the cause and lead with what the sponsor helps make possible. A workable structure:

TierAngleContents
Presenting partnerNamed alongside the event or programTop billing, speaking moment, logo everywhere, table or booth, recognition from the stage
ChampionMajor supporterProminent logo, program ad, several tickets, social recognition
SupporterMid levelLogo on materials, a table of tickets, a mention
FriendEntryName in the program, two tickets
In-kindValued at costDonated goods or services (venue, catering, auction items) valued at market rate and matched to a tier

The in-kind tier matters for nonprofits. A local business that cannot write a $10,000 check can donate $10,000 of catering, and you should value that at genuine market cost and give it the recognition of the equivalent cash tier.

Example 3: The creator or team season package

Creators, clubs and small teams sell across everything they touch, so the winning package bundles a relationship rather than a single post. Instead of metal tiers, structure by commitment length:

PackageWhat it bundles
Season / annual partnerLogo on jersey or set, recurring mentions across the season, appearances, email and social, category exclusivity
Series packageA defined run of content or events: several integrations plus social, priced below the sum of the parts
Single activationOne post, one game, one event: the entry point that proves the fit

Bundling a season into one package prices better per deliverable and turns a one-off sponsor into a repeat advertiser. It also saves the brand a fresh approval for every placement, which is often the real reason they commit to the bundle.

Example 4: The exclusivity-first B2B package

When your audience is a specific, high-value buyer, category exclusivity is the product. Structure so competing sponsors bid for the single top slot:

TierExclusivityContents
Category ownerOnly sponsor in its categoryEverything below, plus the promise no competitor appears anywhere at the event
PremierShared categoryTop-level assets without exclusivity: keynote, booth, attendee data
StandardOpenBooth, logo, passes

This works because two rivals will both want the one exclusive slot, and the bidding lifts your top price above what a flat tier would ever reach.

Example 5: The simple three-tier starter (first-year events)

New and small events should not overbuild. Three clear tiers beat five half-empty ones. A lead package with your best assets, a middle package, and a low entry package that makes saying yes easy. Price honestly against your real, probably modest, audience. A packed small event with honest pricing earns renewals; an oversized ask that goes unsold does not.

How do you price these packages?

Inventory every asset you can offer, stack the scarce high-value ones into the top tier, then price each tier against the value of that access. Anchor the top, step down so each tier reads as a believable value, and keep the entry tier low enough that a yes is easy. A common shape puts the top tier at 3 to 5 times the entry for the same audience. Whatever the numbers, the audience sets the ceiling, so lead every package with who you deliver.

Before you set prices, it helps to see what comparable events charge. You can pull the sponsor and pricing pages from similar events into a clean list, then benchmark your tiers against what brands in your space already pay. Just remember their audience may differ from yours, so adjust to your own numbers rather than copying theirs.

Next steps

Pick the structure closest to your situation, adapt the tiers, and publish them where a brand can book. Our conference sponsorship packages page goes deeper on event tiers, nonprofit sponsorship levels covers the cause-led version, and how to write a sponsorship proposal wraps the packages into a pitch. If you are still setting numbers, how much to charge for a sponsorship has the math.

On Sponsorships, you publish your packages on a profile brands browse and book from directly. Membership is flat, commission is 0%, and the sponsor pays you. All price figures here are typical industry ranges, illustrative only.
