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.
