This can help increase your visibility and reach a wider audience. This is one of the best ways to get clients for your video production business. The keyword “video production” “videographer London” and related terms has thousands of searches per month on Google alone. By having a professionally done website that showcases your showreel with some client testimonials will help you get clients.

Now doing may be tougher than I just explained above, however it all start with a focus group/niche you want to work in (ask who is your idea client you want to work with), then have your videos which you have done well presented on your website. Your website must look professional, have the showreel to play immediately when someone visits you website, then packages with some samples prices and contact form to book a call with you for Zoom or ideally face to face meeting.

Try to get some clips from your prospect (when/if they inquire) and do a sample. You must delight and hook them to sell high price packages.

When you are getting started you will have to do whatever it takes to get the first 3 clients, delight them, get video testimonials from each and present it on your website underneath the showreel.

Remember, building a client base takes time and persistence. Be proactive, stay consistent with your marketing efforts, and continuously improve your skills and offerings to stand out in the competitive video production industry.
