Tips for video production companies – ideas to increase income as a videographer
1. Find a way to add at least $ 200 to any proposal of video that you write.
You can write it in a couple more hours of editing or add it to your day rate for a shoot. It does not really matter how you do, do it! I do not think I've never lost a project due a difference of $ 200.
The other thing to consider is that you should not be so transparent in your proposals. I do not show how hours its going to take to change a larger project. I just want to say that the publishing costs is $ X number of dollars. It is easy to build a certain benefit from it.
Remember, as an owner, you want profits above your salary. If you pad your budget by $ 200 or more video, you can add several thousand dollars to the bottom line each year.
2. Renegotiate your contracts such as telephone cell, office phone, internet, etc. to reduce the monthly expenditure wherever possible.
Everyone is dying to keep Customers these days so that the use to your advantage. I had lunch today with a guy who has managed to reduce his monthly bill High Speed Internet $ 50 per month just by making a phone call and ask what is the best deal they could give was him.
I was able to reduce my phone bill $ 200 per month just by asking, "What is the best deal you can give me? There are many telephone companies asking for my business and I want to know what you can do to convince me to stay with you. "It return $ 2,400 to the bottom line each year.
Remember that I give you ideas on how to increase profits …. reduce spending increases the amount of money you have left over at the end of each month. Do not ignore it.
Of course, you can sell but more in the economy, it is a very good strategy to focus on negotiating new conditions that benefit you 100% so that when the economy is still strong, you make more money and spend less of it. The two work together in all results bigger wallets!
3. Does not include many extras in your proposal video.
Having lots of extras in the proposed initial cost until video players that can lose customers or make room for your competitors to bid lower than you. I recommends that you quote the part of shooting and editing a video and include only one copy of the DVD master.
Then, in your proposal video Tell them that additional copies and / or Web site files can be provided for a fee. Most of the time they will forget the copy or files digital until the project is completed.
Then, when they are in a mad rush to distribute their videos, they will want / need you to make copies. You cite them reasonable, but the higher number and they will side with, because they are willing to get the videos on the market.
Furthermore, the budget duplication almost always be treated as a separate cost than the original video so it does not bother not to create another PO number they can affect your cost of reproduction. If you add the duplication and the number of original PO, flags red off because they are having to increase the budget for the initial video project.
It is not uncommon to generate an extra $ 500 to $ 5,000 in copying / digital conversion costs within a week or two of making a project when you are dealing with production and distribution of video as two separate transactions.
Keep in mind that what is mentioned here is absolutely correct. The customer gets a great value and customer service every step of the project and you'll still charge less than the high-end production of other businesses in your area.
Customers are willing to pay more and they should pay more when you're ready to turn around quality work fast. Remember that.
