A COST CEILING
01
Better value
for money
The important thing is that for both low cost and big budget productions you’re getting the absolute most out of your money, nothing is wasted and every choice is made to maximise results.
Important if you’re on a tight budget for sure, but just as important if you’re spending hundreds of thousands on a shoot.
If you think a video’s going to cost you –
wait until you’ve had a bad one made!
02
DRAGONFLY’S
Price Promise
We know you have to work to a budget, we work to strict cost caps all the time, so let us put your mind at rest. With Dragonfly there are no hidden or unexpected costs, you know what you’re paying for from the start.
We’ve worked in many environments where there wasn’t a penny extra to spend and we come in on budget every single time. How can we do this? Because we plan every last thing out in detail, because we’re honest about our costs and because we’re experts at making your money work harder.
03
A return on
your investment in video
We understand you have a good reason for wanting to make a video, so we know the importance of making your video effective.
We often describe a video as a tool with a job to do and a good video will have a measurable effect, driving up sales, increasing donations or improving customer relations.
We’re proud to offer one of the best returns on investment around. How? By making our videos more effective, whatever your budget.
04
A cost ceiling
We’re innovators in our field and that means original ideas for videos, and ingenious solutions for using your budget wisely. We’re happy to be able to promise you that what we quote is what you’ll pay, no surprises.
With others, you will
pay more and get less
When commissioning video, don’t think about the price – think about the value. The costs of a video can vary hugely, from a small scale clip to a big production. The question you should really ask is ‘What can I get for my budget?’ Dragonfly’s success, and the reason our clients keep recommending us, is down to our passion for taking a budget and really maximising the potential for the production, without cutting any corners.
It’s important to be up-front about how much you have to spend, and what you want from your video, then we can be up-front with you about your options and show you how to get the most out of your money.
