What a city of trade fairs and craft orders
| The buyer | Their typical order | Their window |
|---|---|---|
| A trade-show exhibitor | Stand and product videos | The fair days |
| A food producer | The gesture and the material | Before the holidays |
| A school or publisher | Testimonials | Term starts |
What the trade-fair calendar imposes
Accreditation requested in advance and a shoot counted in hours, not days. The exhibitor is mainly paying for responsiveness: delivering that same evening is worth more than a polished edit three days later.
What food culture expects from a video
The gesture rather than the slogan. Dough worked by hand, filmed close and without heavy music, convinces more than a quality promise nobody can verify on screen.
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: here, your most profitable skill is making a machine understandable without a word. Everything else is negotiable.
