As someone deeply entrenched in the world of video production, I’ve seen firsthand how costs can escalate. Writing proposals is part of my daily routine, and believe me, I know the price tag attached to high-quality video production. But here's a thought – what if top-notch videos didn't always have to break the bank?

Here are three practical tips to help you extend your marketing dollars in the realm of video:

Tip #1: Nail Your Timing and Expectations

At Glory Visuals, and many other production houses, pricing largely hinges on time. A smooth production process is one that balances speed and quality – quick enough to avoid unnecessary delays but not so rushed that the quality suffers. Our job is to estimate filming durations accurately.

Here's where you come in: by minimizing unforeseen variables, you play a crucial role in keeping costs down. A well-paced schedule that avoids unnecessary downtime can make a significant difference in your final bill.

Tip #2: Bundle Your Shoot Days

Make the most out of our time in your space. Think ahead about your current and future content needs. If we can consolidate what would be multiple shooting days into a slightly extended single day, let's discuss that possibility! While we absolutely love working with our clients, fewer shooting days can mean cost savings for you – even if it results in a single, larger invoice for more extensive content coverage.

Tip #3: Repurpose Your Content (Courtesy of Brae, Our Lead Editor)

In today's digital age, content can live in countless places – websites, social media, email marketing, and beyond. Creating fresh content for each platform can be overwhelming, but here's a secret: almost any video project we complete for you can be repurposed.

Different versions of the same video can be adapted for various platforms. The more creative you are with using existing content, the less you'll spend on constantly producing new material. This strategy not only saves money but also ensures a consistent brand presence across all channels.
