Why I gave away a FREE WEDDING VIDEO

[@KevinWatkinsWeddingFilms]

This is how I built my business a few years ago when I moved over to video from photography, I gave away one film but I gained hundreds of leads. There was one winner and I offered all of the others a discount for entering the competition, I filled my diary for the first year. A little tip though, send them to a page on your website to enter the wedding date and contact details etc otherwise your competitors can steal them. The winner of my competition added an optional extra so I even got paid enough to cover my costs for the free one!

Epic! Great to hear success stories with this, and yeah nice tip. Although any “competitors” that would steal leads is pretty low bar 😅

Hi Adam! You are awesome! I filmed a wedding recently but it's nothing like yours!

[@AdamWingFilms]

Hey! Thanks man, that’s great though well done! As long as you got what you wanted out of it?

[@jolvideography]

Hey Adam! After seeing your pod with Greg, I actually did it myself in March and it was crazy how well this works! I am more around the mid market and ended up getting 8 bookings from it. 4 booked me before the completion ended and the others after when they asked for my packages. Also crazy how you can grow your page in such a short time!

[@AdamWingFilms]

Ah that’s great! Well done 👏 Yeah really simple way of getting your calendar filled up. Crazy that we dont see it done more often really

[@jolvideography]

@@AdamWingFilms I think it’s crazy it’s taken us thing long to figure out how great it is! 100% got to become a yearly thing!

Love this what’s the link for the podcast?

[@AdamWingFilms]

In the video description now for you ☺️

[@GarethCroft]

Great idea! Glad it worked out for you and nice to see another video. I didn't know about the podcast so will check that out :) . Did you message the brides you couldn't do because of dates or just leave it?

[@AdamWingFilms]

Thanks Gareth! No I just left it with those ones
