Paid placements for launches
Picture your company sitting in a premium bay on Velzio Launch. A sponsorship is a paid placement, kept separate from the vote-ordered rankings and always marked Sponsored.
Every sponsored bay carries the label Sponsored and a rel=sponsored link attribute. The placement sits apart from the programme itself, which remains ordered by community votes alone.
Each bay holds one creator at a time, for a 7-day run. When a bay is booked, the next booking begins on the day the current one finishes. The dates you would receive are shown here and checked again in your cart before payment.
Start page bay
$49
Your company name, logo, tagline and website link in the Sponsored bay on the start page, where new launches arrive.
This bay is free now and runs 5 Oct 2026 to 11 Oct 2026.
Category bay
$19
Your company sits at the top of your listing's category page, above all the listings in that category.
The dates for category bays depend on which category your listing belongs to. Once you choose a listing, we show the available runs for that category.
Newsletter bay
$29
Your company appears in the Sponsored section of one weekly newsletter issue. If an issue is not sent, your sponsorship runs in the next one that goes out.
This bay is free now and runs 5 Oct 2026 to 11 Oct 2026.
How to sponsor a launch
List your business and add a sponsorship when choosing your launch plan. If your listing is already published, sign in to book a bay. Either way, you'll select which bay suits your campaign and confirm your dates before paying.
Questions
- What makes a sponsorship different from the rankings?
- Sponsorships are paid placements, always labelled as such and kept separate from the vote-ordered programme. They never buy or move votes. The order of launches remains set by the community alone.
- What dates would my sponsorship run?
- The dates depend on which bay you choose and whether it is free now or booked. When you pick a listing and a bay, we show you exactly which 7-day run is available. You can confirm those dates before you pay.
- Where does my listing appear after I pay?
- After payment, visit your account to see each sponsorship. We show whether it is live now, scheduled for a future date, or has ended, along with how often people saw it and clicked through.
