Your sponsor marketplace, on your domain

Revenue lives in three days.

Ninety percent of organizations sell sponsorships at their biggest event, and only about a third include anything year-round (PCMA Convene, 2018). When the show ends, so does the revenue.

Renewals get argued on booth traffic.

Sponsors want closed business, and you hand them badge scans. Exhibitor satisfaction remains low, particularly for lead acquisition (Freeman, 2024).

You make the introductions. Someone else keeps the value.

Members ask you who to hire all year. Those deals close, and the association sees none of it.

Where non-dues revenue is going

Associations are already moving from one-off sponsorship to year-round partners.

Each bar is that line’s share of total non-dues revenue. Event sponsorship is shrinking; year-round partner programs are growing.

Build, route, track, earn.

Build

Your sponsor roster becomes a branded marketplace on your domain, published in days.

Route

Members browse by need and request an intro from the listing. The request is captured on your page before it reaches the vendor.

Track

Every stage is credited to the association. Sponsors update progress in their portal.

Earn

When the deal closes, the pre-agreed share calculates, and both sides get the statement.

Revenue models

You set the pricing. Introzy tracks the outcomes and calculates the share.

Annual listing

A flat yearly fee for placement. Predictable, and easy to add to the sponsorship prospectus.

Revenue share

A percentage of the business marketplace introductions produce. The association earns when sponsors win.

Hybrid

A lower entry fee plus a share of outcomes. Easiest to sell to sponsors who doubt the value.

Vendors in real estate settlement, federally reimbursed healthcare, or insurance? Use the listing fee only.

You wouldn’t be the first.

Wisconsin EMS Association

A three-person staff negotiates revenue share with its vendor partners: about 10% from software companies, 3–5% from commodity suppliers.

Associations Now, 2021

Utah Bankers Association

Endorsed vendors on revenue-sharing agreements, chosen by competitive RFP, with preferred pricing for members.

Utah Bankers Association

What’s new is proving it: every introduction tracked to closed business, instead of trusting a vendor’s count.

Keeping it alive between conferences

The playbook for the other 362 days.

QR codes at the show

Booth signage and badges send attendees into the marketplace while they’re still on the floor.

Member-only pricing

Sponsor offers that exist only through the marketplace give members a reason to return.

Newsletter placements

Every issue points to a listing, so sponsors stay in front of members all year.

Quarterly sponsor reviews

Review real pipeline data with each sponsor instead of waiting for renewal season.

A sponsor who closed $36,000 through your marketplace doesn’t argue about next year’s package.
