A videographer pricing guide couples can pick from

What goes in a videographer pricing guide

Whatever form it takes, a wedding videographer pricing guide tends to answer the same handful of questions, in roughly this order. This is general guidance on structure. What you charge is yours to decide.

• Who you are. A short welcome and a line or two on how you film, so the numbers have context.
• Your packages. Each with a name, the hours of coverage and a plain list of what is included.
• Add-ons. The extras a couple can stack on top: more coverage, drone, a second shooter, raw footage, another film.
• What each one means. Enough description that a couple can tell two packages apart without a call.
• Recent work. A film or two, so they can see what they are buying.
• How to book. The next step, the retainer, and what happens after they say yes.

Your catalog is the price list

Everything starts in the Catalog under Templates. A package has the name couples see, a one-paragraph description, a base price, its default coverage hours and an inclusions list, where each line becomes a bullet on the proposal. Archive a package you have retired and it leaves the pickers, while the proposals that used it keep it.

A la carte items are your wedding videography add ons, each with a client-facing description, a price and a category: coverage, drone, edits, rush, raw footage, additional films, albums or other. Write a description once and it reads the same everywhere the item appears, including the extras you offer on a delivery gallery later. Selling add-ons from the gallery covers that end.

An investment guide couples pick from

Hailo turns your collections and add-ons into an investment guide a couple pages through, picks from and books. They choose a collection, switch on the add-ons they want, and the contract and deposit fill in from what they chose, so the booking that follows already matches the package. Investment guides are in beta.

You decide how each guide reads: a page at a time, like a printed pricing guide, or as one long page. The switch sits beside Design in the guide's editor and saves with the guide.

Send a guide to a lead from Templates, or switch on its public link and put it on your website or your Instagram profile. With your own web address connected in Settings, the public link lives there as a short /guide address, and the couple books without leaving your site.

When a couple finishes your guide, the next step can start by itself through an automation, such as a follow-up email you would otherwise have to remember.

Not a PDF, and no prices from us

Searches for a videography price list template or a wedding videography pricing template usually end at a downloadable file, and Hailo has no file to give you. The guide is a live page built from your catalog, so a price you change there is the price on the next proposal you build, with nothing to export.

Hailo also will not tell you what to charge, and you will not find price ranges here. A wedding videography pricing guide written for couples comparing costs is a different kind of page; this one is for the filmmaker building their own. If you came from photography, where the photography investment guide is a familiar format, the idea carries over: your offer, your numbers, and one clear way to say yes.
