How to monetize your cafe
- List it. Upload a photo of your cafe, mark each spot and pick how you bill: per week, month, event or post. We set the price from reach, market and demand.
- Get requests. Brands find it in Browse and message you. Accept or decline.
- Get paid. The brand pays when you accept. You are paid after you post proof that the logo is up.
- Or run an auction. Share a link and let brands bid. Start a cafe auction.
Get paid to put ads on your cafe
Post dated photos of each spot in place during open hours, with your counter or sign in frame.
Tips
- Pick sponsors that fit the room: studios, bookshops, local makers. Avoid anything your regulars will find pushy.
- Keep sponsor items off food contact surfaces.
- Start with a short period like a week before longer deals.
Questions
Will ads change the feel of my cafe?
Keep it to a few small spots and pick sponsors your customers would like.
Can a coffee brand sponsor me?
Yes if you are fine featuring them. Avoid sponsors that compete with what you serve.
Do I need a permit for indoor signs?
Usually not, but your lease may still have rules.
How do brands find my cafe?
List it once. Brands browse spots by type, city and price and message you through SponsorMySpot. Your email stays private.
Who sets the price?
Our pricing engine, like a ride app. It prices each spot from what it is, how many people see it and the market you are in, and the price rises when brands are asking for that kind of spot near you. Owners pick how they bill: per week, month, event or post.
When do I get paid?
The brand pays when you accept their request. You are paid after you post proof that the logo is up. Payouts go to your bank through Stripe. The fee is 8 percent.
Can brands bid against each other instead?
Yes. Run an auction: each spot opens at your start price and any brand can take it by paying double. Cards are held, not charged, until bidding closes.
