Why Choosing the Cheapest Video Production Company is a Costly Mistake

Written by Eric Elliott | Dec 11, 2023 3:00:39 PM

When we receive a call from a potential prospect, and we get to the proposal phase we like to refer to the adage "Good, fast, and cheap - pick any two," holds especially true. This phrase serves as a guiding principle when selecting a video production company, reminding us that the cheapest option is not always the best choice. At Craft Creative, we understand that video production is an art that balances creativity with technical expertise. We wrote this blog to educate prospective clients about the pitfalls of choosing a video production company solely based on price and why investing in professional video production is vital for your business's success.

The Hidden Costs of Cheap Video Production

When shopping for a video production company, opting for the lowest rate is tempting. However, this decision can be shortsighted. A professional video production crew brings much more to the table than just an attractive price tag. They offer quality, reliability, and a deep understanding of translating your message and vision into a compelling video.

Quality of Work

The quality of your video has a direct influence on your brand image. A professional video production company invests in high-quality equipment and skilled personnel to ensure your video stands out. In contrast, a cheaper alternative might use outdated equipment and inexperienced crew, leading to a subpar product that fails to capture your audience's attention.

Experience and Expertise

A seasoned video production crew brings a wealth of experience and expertise. They have the knack for storytelling, understanding current trends, and technical know-how to create videos that resonate with your audience. Their experience also means they can anticipate and avoid common pitfalls, ensuring a smooth production process.

Company Tenure and Reputation


Longevity and reputation in the industry are indicators of reliability and quality. A well-established company like ours, Craft Creative, has a proven track record of delivering exceptional results nationwide, making hiring decisions safer and more reliable than a cheaper, less experienced counterpart. A company has one chance to get things right when filming for the first time. Why choose an unproven, untested company that may not be there when you need to enhance or recreate your message?

Creativity and Customization


Every brand is unique, and your video content should reflect this. A professional video production company excels in crafting bespoke videos and content that align with your brand's identity and messaging. Cookie-cutter ads are usually offered from low-cost providers, whereas seasoned companies provide customized solutions representing your brand and delivering a compelling message.

The True Value of Professional Video Production


Investing in professional video production is not just about avoiding the pitfalls of cheap alternatives; it's about reaping the benefits of quality, creativity, and expertise.

Enhanced Brand Image

A well-produced video enhances your brand's image, making it more appealing to your target audience.

Effective Communication

Professional videos effectively communicate your message, ensuring your brand's voice is heard loud and clear.

Return on Investment

While the initial cost might be higher, a professionally produced video offers a better return on investment by engaging your audience and promoting your brand more efficiently.
