How do sponsorships work on Launch It Online?
Book a homepage, category or newsletter Sponsored slot for your listing.
Updated
Pick your shop window
We have three Sponsored slots on offer. Each is clearly marked as sponsored. The homepage and category slots run for 7 days; the newsletter slot is one issue.
- Homepage: One Sponsored slot on our front page, where all your shoppers start their browse.
- Category: The top spot on your listing's category page, right where interested visitors look first.
- Newsletter: The Sponsored place in one issue of our weekly newsletter.
Each slot costs $49, $19, or $29 respectively. Your sponsorship never buys votes, moves your ranking or changes how shoppers see your listing otherwise—it simply puts your name in a premium place.
How the queue works
Only one sponsor holds each slot at a time. If your chosen slot is free, your run starts straight away. If it is booked, yours queues directly after, and we show you the exact dates you would get. You'll see these dates on /sponsor and again in your cart before you pay, so no surprises.
Get started and track results
You need a live listing or a listing booked into a launch week. Visit /sponsor, pick your listing and book your slot—it goes into your cart like any other purchase. You can also add sponsorship from "Upgrades and extras" on /account/listings, or when you submit your listing.
Once you've paid, /account/sponsorships shows every sponsorship you hold: whether it's live now, scheduled for later or already ended. You'll also see how many times each one was seen and clicked.
Questions people ask
- What happens if the sponsorship slot I want is already booked?
- Your sponsorship queues after the current booking ends. We show you the exact start and end dates you would get on /sponsor and in your cart before you pay.
- Can I book a sponsorship without a live listing?
- Your listing must be live or already booked into a launch week. You can add sponsorship when you first submit your listing, from "Upgrades and extras" on /account/listings, or anytime on /sponsor.
- Do sponsorships affect my listing's ranking or votes?
- No. Sponsorships are clearly labelled as Sponsored and never change your votes, ranking or how shoppers otherwise see your listing.
