SHSlotHold
Simple sponsor tracking for newsletters

Never promise the same sponsor spot twice.

See every upcoming issue in one place. Reserve a spot while a sponsor decides, confirm it when they say yes, and automatically free it again if they do not.

Issue 185 is already reserved, so nobody else can take it. If the sponsor does not confirm in time, the issue becomes available again automatically.
✓

No more double-booking.

Everyone sees the same sponsor status, so two people cannot accidentally sell the same issue.

✓

No forgotten “maybes.”

Reserve a spot while a sponsor decides. If they do not confirm in time, it opens up again automatically.

✓

Always know what happens next.

Move each sponsor from available to reserved, booked, ready, and published in a clear order.

FAQ

What is SlotHold?

What if a sponsor says “maybe” and never confirms?

You can reserve the spot for 48 to 72 hours. If the reservation expires, the issue becomes available again automatically.

No. SlotHold runs in your browser. Sign in with your email and manage your sponsor calendar from the app.
