What to look for in a project proposal

So you need a video made for your business or organization… 

Start doing some research by looking for example videos that are close to what you have in mind.  The vision begins to become more clear.  

Great! Now let's find someone to help me bring this video project to life!  Do I just jump on google?  Ask friends and associates for a recommendation or referral?  Do I need a freelancer or should I hire a video production company?

Yikes, this might be more expensive than I thought.  How much time and $ is needed to pull this off?  What am I going to get for my investment?

Wow, that’s a lot to consider.  No wonder why it can feel intimidating to start creating videos for your business.

We’re here to help! We get things started with a complimentary discovery call to understand your business needs and gather all the information needed to create a thoughtful proposal.

A professional, well thought out proposal should answer most of the concerns that come up with launching a new video project.

A professional proposal should communicate a clear understanding of the project specifications, with a detailed breakdown of costs:

  1. Creative vision

  2. Goals and desired results

  3. Target audience and distribution strategy

  4. Budget and scope

  5. Scheduling and deadlines

  6. Breakdown of costs for Pre-production, production day(s) and post-production (editing) with available add-on services

  7. Payment terms

  8. Revisions process and customer satisfaction

A thoughtful proposal should address most concerns that new clients might have.
