ECF Live Sponsorship

Event Overview

eCommerceFuel Live is our annual event held exclusively for members of the eCommerceFuel Community. Last year marked our 8th annual event and was held at The Westin San Diego Gaslamp Quarter. Over 250 attendees enjoyed 3 days of incredible networking, learning, and fun!

Here are some highlights from the event:

Quality of Attendees

The caliber of our attendees is what sets our event apart from other eCommerce conferences. Last year the average attendee ran a store doing over $6M in annual sales.

As a sponsor, you have the opportunity to connect with and get in front of high-volume merchants in a small, personal environment. Despite selling out in hours last year, we limit the event to ~250 attendees to keep things intimate and maintain a very communal feeling.

Why You’ll Get Insane Value as a Sponsor

As mentioned above, this event is all about the people. It’s a truly unique chance to connect with 250 high-revenue decision makers in an intimate environment.

We limit the total number of sponsorship packages for a number of reasons. We are looking for companies that we respect and can endorse both from the stage and in private, 1-on-1 discussions. This limits the number of sponsorships we’re able to offer.

We also don’t want our sponsors to be lost in a sea of competing logos or among other rep attendees. As an eCommerceFuel Live sponsor, you won’t just be a corporate attendee stuck behind a booth. You’ll be a company we can get behind and feel great introducing to fellow members.

Finally, this event is FUN! Past events have included a parade in New Orleans (complete with marching band and police escort), a boat tour of the famous San Antonio Riverwalk, a night at a jazz club, a poker tournament, a bourbon tasting, swamp tours, and many more!

"It was amazing to experience the ECF community. This was the most high-quality group of entrepreneurs I can recall seeing gathered into one room. Staying close to our customers and getting insight into their problems and lives helps us with developing our product & empathizing with our customers."

All Of Our Packages Include:

All of our sponsorship packages include the following benefits:

Your Own Event Table: Throughout our event, you’ll have your own table set up where you can leave marketing materials and make yourself available to any attendees that want to learn more about your business.
Event Wrap-Up Exposure: We’ll be doing a detailed event wrap-up via the eCommerceFuel Podcast (50,000 downloads each month) and one that is mailed to our entire list (18,000+ contacts). You’ll receive recognition as the primary event sponsor with a call to action for listeners/readers to visit your website and learn more.
Category Exclusivity: As a sponsor of eCommerceFuel Live, we don’t want you to worry about competing with anyone else in your offering category. No other sponsors in your space (ie: email marketing, shopping cart, reviews, etc) will be allowed to be a competing sponsor.
Promo Materials in Event Welcome Bag: Get your promotional material and branded “schwag” included in our event goodie bag given to all attendees. In terms of schwag, we have a great sense of what gets used (thus promoting your brand!) and what gets tossed and are happy to help you come up with something unique and interesting that members will talk about and love receiving.
Sponsored Dinners: If desired, we’ll help coordinate your company hosting sponsored dinners in the evening. Whether it’s identifying attendees who are customers to invite, venue selection/coordination, or just helping spread the word to attendees we’ll help you put on an intimate dinner to deeply connect with attendees.
Mentioned in Email Updates to Attendees: We’ll make sure to mention you (and include a link) in email updates that go out to attendees.

Pricing starts at $15k
