Choosing to hire a video production company that’s right for you is critical to the success of your video, and therefore affects the overall success of your company. It’s not only an important decision for the image of your company, but also a very costly investment.
Before saying “yes” to a production company and putting down a deposit, it’s best to do everything in your power to make sure you’ve picked the right one.
Here are some tips for doing so:
Consider the value of your time.
How much is your time worth? For example, a retail store owner should be concerned with store sales, not managing a video project. Work with a company that doesn’t require any micro managing on your part. If you pick the right company that gets to know your business, you will feel comfortable trusting them with the production process.
Examine their portfolio.
Find out as much as you can about the production companies available to you. A company’s previous work says a lot about the quality it can produce for your video. A strong portfolio and satisfied customer lists are good signs of a reliable, high-quality production company.

Understanding your business.
A production company should take the time out to get to know your business. This includes your branding strategies, objectives, core values, et cetera. Becoming fully acquainted with your business shows that a production company is capable of understanding and producing the video you want for your business.
Compatibility.
No matter how good a company’s credentials, finding a company that you get along with (something that can, hopefully, be determined after the first phone call) will save you future miscommunication and conflict. The video production process is a long one, and it’s much easier with a company that you enjoy working with.
Your relationship with the production company shouldn’t end after filming. Choose a production team who can advise you on future projects and provide ongoing, fresh content for your business year after year.
