One of the most frequent questions we’re asked is “How Much Does Video Production Cost?” Estimating the cost of your video is a great first step in choosing whether you can afford to advertise through video or not. We recommend contacting 2-3 local video production companies to request a quote and discuss the needs for your video. Make sure you review their portfolio and confirm that their style is a good fit for your company.
The average cost of a video varies based on the questions below however, most videos cost between $2,500 – $7,500+.
Knowing the answers to the following questions will help expedite the quote process and allow you to get a more accurate price when inquiring with video production companies.
