Ready to fly?
Thanks for your interest in Promotion Pilot. Please tell us a little about you and your venue below, then book a 15-minute online chat with us.
Please upload your current logo and colours (if you have them) and any great images you'd like to share, and we'll begin work on your pre-flight checklist.
Pre-flight checklist
Questions before we talk?
Why wouldn't I just use Canva?
You could, and plenty of venues do. Canva is good and it's cheap. But it hands you an empty page and a deadline — you still have to know Father's Day is coming, decide what you're running, find a photo, lay it out, and do it again next month. That's the work. Canva doesn't take it off you, it just makes it a bit quicker.
If you've got someone on staff who enjoys that and has the time, honestly, keep going. We're for venues where it keeps landing on someone with eleven other jobs.
What if the artwork isn't any good?
You see work we've done for non-competing venues on your pre-flight briefing, before you sign up to anything.
Every promotion comes with two or three artwork options and one to three artwork changes, depending on your class.
Is this just AI making pictures?
Partly, and here's exactly which parts, because it matters.
The picture is made for your venue, in its colours, in a style picked to suit your place. The words, prices and logo are then set by us, in your venue's own fonts, so they're exactly right. Every price and date comes from you, and a person checks every word before anything goes out.
Won't my artwork look the same as the pub down the road?
It's the risk with anything that makes a lot of something, so it's the thing we've worked hardest against. Your venue gets a look that suits it, your colours and type come from your own branding, and the picture is made for you rather than pulled off a shelf everyone shares.
The samples on our Services page are the proof: each sample venue has its own look, from its colours and fonts to the style of its pictures.
Can I print these myself?
Use them on your socials and the screens in the bar; every size comes ready for that. Print-ready files are included for anything you want printed. We don't do the printing and we don't take a cut.
What if I want something a bit different — a fancy edge, a particular font?
Tell us when you start. There's a spot to show us designs you like and say what you're after. If you want a scalloped edge on your specials board, say so and you'll get one.
Do I still have to have the monthly promo meeting?
You'll still decide what you're running and what you're charging — you know your margins, your suppliers and your locals, and we don't.
What goes away is working out what's coming up, briefing it, and waiting on artwork. In practice that's most of the meeting and all of the chasing.
What happens if we change owners or rebrand?
Tell us and the next lot comes out in the new branding. Nothing needs rebuilding and there's no fee. Venues change hands constantly; anything made for this trade that couldn't handle that would be useless.
Can I cancel?
Every class is a 12 month flight package. Once it has landed you can stay on, move class, or stop. You keep all the artwork we've made for you.
How secure is the content in my dashboard?
Every venue has its own login and can only ever see its own venue, and that's enforced by the database itself, not just the screen. Your files are stored privately and encrypted, and everything travels over a secure connection. Payments are handled by Stripe, so your card details never touch our systems.
Will I own the artwork once it's been produced?
Yes. Once artwork is approved and uploaded to your dashboard, you're free to use it, and it remains your intellectual property for any future use.
Do I get a discount if I have multiple venues?
Yes. 1 to 3 venues are standard price. 4 to 9 venues get 15% off per venue. 10 or more venues get a free class upgrade on every venue: Economy flies Business, Business flies First.
How do I pay?
Monthly, by card, through Stripe. Stripe is one of the world's largest payment providers and handles your card details securely; they never touch our systems. You'll get a receipt by email each month.
Do you do logos, websites or menus?
Yes. Our in-house graphic designer can create your logo and brand standards, and our website designer can refresh your website. Both start with a conversation, so ask us in your 15-minute chat.
Menus too, as print-ready artwork.
