Reach the business owners who are allergic to bro marketing

Get your brand in front of hundreds of experienced, service-based business owners who actually invest in support.

The Ordinary Business Summit is happening (virtually) April 1-2, 2026.

This isn’t a room full of beginners or hobbyists, we’re a curated, values-aligned community of established providers who rely on referrals, relationships, and trusted recommendations to run their businesses.

Our speakers collectively reach 135,000 people across email lists and social platforms, and they’re actively incentivized to share the summit through a friendly, built-in competition. That means sponsorship visibility extends well beyond the live event itself without requiring you to present or build a massive audience of your own.

The Ordinary Summit is intentionally relationship-driven, not volume-driven. We prioritize fit, trust, and long-term visibility over flashy numbers.

Featured Expert Sponsor

$900 — 0 spots left!

Our most exclusive tier is perfect for experts who want to teach, not just be visible.

As one of two Featured Expert Sponsors, you’ll lead a 30-minute teaching workshop on your core area of expertise. This is one of only two educational sessions in the entire summit (one per day), making it a high-impact moment when the full audience is engaged and ready to learn.

Your workshop will be promoted as a Featured Expert Session, with elevated visibility before, during, and after the event.

You’ll also receive enhanced placement throughout the summit, designed to highlight your expertise and make it easy for attendees to connect with you.

As a Featured Expert Sponsor, you’ll receive:

High-Intent Placement

  • Guaranteed feature in the VIP Vault

    • Plus, your opt-in page displayed right next to your workshop video

Brand Exposure

  • Logo + link on the summit website

  • Logo on event recordings

  • Spotlight mention in attendee emails

  • Your own workshop spot

  • Featured callout in Slack before your session

  • Option to include a 1:1 Ordinary Expert Session
  • Two podcast ads for The Ordinary Business podcast

This tier is ideal for service providers, strategists, and coaches who want to teach a signature topic, establish expertise, and get in front of an audience that takes action.

Presenting Sponsor

$600 — 6 spots available

Our next highest-visibility sponsorship and the best way to get in front of warm, aligned business owners at the summit and on our podcast.

As a Presenting Sponsor, you’ll also have the option to contribute one Ordinary Expert 1:1 Session* — think audits, coaching calls, offer reviews, or another light-lift service that lets attendees experience your expertise.

We’ll draw one winner per sponsor during the summit, adding excitement for attendees and directing highly engaged participants straight to you. No choosing, no complex fulfillment, just one intentional connection with someone who’s genuinely interested in what you do.

#SlackChat Sponsor

Spots taken by Pop Impact and Melissa Mitt

#SlackChats are 30-minute topical discussions, like a focused chat room. The Slack is open before and after the Summit, and these chats were the crowd favorite last year!)

You get full sponsorship credit without hosting (unless you want to!) or attending.

This tier gives you visibility at the exact moment everyone is talking, connecting, and engaging.

  • Your brand name included in all Slack Chat promotions

Roundtable Sponsor

$250 — 2 spots available

Support one of our signature summit sessions: the Live Roundtable.

This is where attendees gather to listen to a candid, moderated, unscripted conversation about a particular topic and how’s it working.

Sign up

As a Roundtable Sponsor, you’ll receive:

  • “Roundtable Sponsor” listing on the summit website

  • Mention in roundtable reminder emails

  • A verbal shout-out from the roundtable host at the beginning and end of the session

  • Passive visibility without needing to appear live at the summit (though we’d love to have you!)

Vault Sponsor

$150 — 12 spots total, 7 left!

Get your premium offer in front of established business owners without giving away free time or creating a bonus bundle. As a Vault Sponsor, you’ll be featured on a private, attendees-only landing page where summit participants can explore exclusive offers curated just for them.

Think: free access to part of your course, a premium GPT, a paid template pack, a mini-training, 3 months free in your membership, or a low-ticket product. This will need to be something that is not usually free.

Each Vault listing links directly to your offer or opt-in page, allowing attendees to purchase, join, or opt in using your special access code. 

Apply

As a VIP Vault Sponsor, you’ll receive:

  • Private-page visibility: Your offer showcased on a secret landing page available only to summit attendees.

  • Niche exclusivity: Only one sponsor per industry/category, so your offer stands alone without competition.

  • Direct lead generation: Attendees click straight to your site to get your offer — meaning they’ll be added to your email list.

  • Low-lift participation: You just provide the blurb, link, and discount code.

Perfect for course creators, membership owners, template shops, GPT creators, and service providers with low-ticket or high-value offers who want warm, aligned visibility without offering your 1:1 time.

Topics already taken: creating a brand kit, content creation, email marketing, Canva, AI bots.

Sponsor FAQ

Why should I sponsor?

The Ordinary Business Summit isn’t a flashy, high-pressure event, and that’s exactly why it works.

This community is made up of thoughtful, values-driven business owners who genuinely care about what they’re building and how they show up.

People come because they want connection, clarity, and conversations that feel real.

When you become a sponsor, you’re not just dropping your name into a crowded space and hoping someone notices. You’re stepping into a community that actually pays attention.

Sponsors are:

  • Being positioned as a trusted recommendation inside a curated peer community

  • Getting visibility with business owners who already invest in coaching, services, and tools

  • Having warm conversations that happen after the event via Slack, email, or follow-ups

  • Getting brand recognition that compounds across multiple touchpoints (sessions, Slack, emails, replays)

What are the VIP tiers?

VIP ($67): Access to the replays and Vault

VIP Plus ($167): Access to the replays, Vault, the Ordinary Expert Sessions, and listed in our new directory for 6 months

Are there any other sponsorship options?

Yep! You can also sponsor episodes on the podcast or our #SlackChats!

Do I need to attend live?

Nope. There are no requirements for sponsors to attend the sessions or chats they are sponsoring. We would love for you to participate if it works, but you will not be on camera or asked to speak.

All sponsors get access to the summit and replays.

What counts as a niche for the VIP Vault?

There will be only one industry, regardless of your niche. For example: if you’re an email strategist who also offers copywriting, and we already have a copywriter, you won’t be able to participate because there is overlap.

What’s the difference between an Expert Session and the Vault?

The Ordinary Expert Sessions are 1:1 offers. The VIP Vault is for digital products or access to communities.
