You can set up limited-time promotions (aka discounts) for your fonts on our sites. There is no cost to set up a promotion. Promotions on new fonts can only be set up once font installations are approved by a foundry support member in Monotype Font Platform. Promotions can last a maximum of 45 days. Once the promotion ends, you must wait 45 days before changing prices or creating another promotion.
Types of Promotions
- Discount on all fonts in entire foundry
- Discount on one or more font families (all singles and packs)
- Discount on complete family pack, sub-family packs, and/or single styles
- Free fonts
- Secret codes
Set Up a Promotion
- Log in with your MyFonts user credentials to Monotype Font Platform.
- Click on Promotions in the top right menu, which takes you to this page.
- Click the blue button “Create Promotion”
- Add a promotion name describing your sale. This will be visible to customers! Please include the discount percent.
- If you have multiple foundries, you’ll be asked to specify the foundry.
- Select your promotion type: “Percent Off” or “Free Fonts”.
- If you’ve chosen “Percent Off”, specify a discount percent. We recommend between 50-60% for most effective promotion performance.
- Optionally, you can add a secret code.
- Customers can enter secret codes at checkout to receive the discount. Promotions with secret codes will not be promoted on the Special Offers page, and the discounts will not show on the family page. Codes are case-sensitive. Please use only letters and numbers. Read more about secret codes.
- Add a start date and an end date (maximum of 45 days).
- Add a promotion image.
- The image must be a 2:1 ratio in PNG format. We recommend 2000 x 1000 px for retina screens. Minimum size is 1440 x 720 px. Do not add prices or dates to your posters, as posters are visible to customers in many different time zones and currencies. Read more about promotion images.
- Select Fonts. Choosing “All fonts in my library” will put ALL fonts in the specified foundry on sale. Choosing “Specific Fonts” will allow you to pick specific fonts.
- If you’ve selected “Specific Fonts”, select families to include in the promotion by searching in the search box or clicking “view all” to see all of your families.
- Select package level: Complete Family Pack, Sub Family Packs, and/or Singles. Checking all boxes will put all contents of the family on sale. If your family is not compatible with the options, you’ll see a warning.
- Review your promotion then click “Submit”! Your promotion is automatically approved and will appear on MyFonts immediately or on the date specified.
