Two tourist seasons, artisan food brands and foreign visitors: enough to work all year if the offer is built properly.
Two seasons, two different products
Six differences to own.
Clients who are not the same.
Opposite shooting constraints.
Very different day lengths.
Distinct protective equipment.
Different preparation times.
And two availability grids stated separately.
The quiet months are the selling months
Six actions for the off season.
Follow up with the previous season's clients.
Sign next season's contracts.
Re-edit existing footage into new formats.
Film interiors while the town is quiet.
Prepare the booking campaigns.
And approach non-tourism clients.
Artisan food, the stable client base
Six possible clients.
Chocolate makers and confectioners.
Craft breweries.
Smokehouses and charcuterie producers.
Berry and preserve producers.
Regional produce shops.
And restaurants that sell their own products.
What they order
Six frequent formats.
A filmed product sheet.
A production video.
Content for the online shop.
An end-of-year holiday video.
A producer testimonial.
And a series of short formats.
The foreign client changes the rate
Seven points to write into the quote.
The price in a single, written currency.
Which party bears the transfer fees.
The duration and territory of the rights.
The option of a subtitled version.
The delivery deadline in days.
The number of revisions included.
And the reference time zone for exchanges.
Filming the landscape is not enough
Six ways to make the images sellable.
Show a person using the place.
Film the arrival and the access, not only the view.
Give scale with an object or a body.
Show the real weather, not only bright sun.
Add a shot that places the distance from town.
And keep one shot usable in vertical format.
What tourism buys most
Six recurring orders.
An accommodation presentation.
A guided activity video.
Booking content for the season.
Event coverage.
A visitor testimonial.
And a seasonal recruitment video.
What a lake-and-mountain resort orders
| The buyer | Their typical order | Their season |
|---|---|---|
| A tourist accommodation | The room, the view, the welcome | The two high seasons |
| A chocolatier or craftsperson | The making gesture | Before the holidays |
| An equipment rental | The gear in use | The southern winter |
What two high seasons change about the job
Work arrives in waves and stops dead in between. A rate calculated over twelve months rather than over the busy ones avoids underselling the peak and panicking in the troughs.
What films better early
A lake without boats and a street without crowds. Two hours ahead of the tourists gives shots nobody else will have, and that head start is worth more than pricier gear.
What the platform brings
On UGC MATCH, joining is free and there is no subscription: you declare your languages, you are visible by category and country, and the order keeps a record of the brief and the delivery. The brand pays at ordering, the funds are not released straight away, and payment goes out on approval. The platform retains 10% of the price on the creator side, who therefore keeps 90%, and charges the brand a 6% service fee, with a minimum of 1.50 EUR.
One last marker: your most profitable season is not the one where you film the most, it is the one where you sign for the next.
