Custom Branding & Subdomains in ThriveGather (For Sponsors & VIP Hosts)

1. Why Branding & Subdomains Matter

Custom branding ensures each event feels consistent with sponsor or host identity. Subdomains provide direct, easy-to-share links that integrate seamlessly with the CrownThrive platform. Together, they:

  • Reinforce sponsor visibility.
  • Create premium experiences for VIP members.
  • Enable trackable links for campaigns and memberships.

2. Branding Options Available

Logos & Backgrounds

  • Upload sponsor or host logos to appear in the room.
  • Customize virtual backgrounds (auditorium, booth, breakout).

Seat Labels & Colors

  • Assign branded seat tags (e.g., “Gold Sponsor Seat”).
  • Adjust color palettes to match sponsor branding.

Chat Banners

  • Pin sponsor messages or promotions at the top of the chat.
  • Include links to products, services, or membership upgrades.

CTA Buttons & Forms

  • Add embedded buttons like “Shop Now” or “Join CrownThrive Pro.”
  • Integrate lead capture forms directly inside rooms.

3. Subdomain Setup

Each workspace or event can be tied to a CrownThrive subdomain, portfolio domain via https://www.crownthrive.io:2083/ or https://www.crownthrive.io:2087/ - hosted by CrownThrive IO, partners, and sponsors for branding and navigation consistency.
