An hour from the capital, with industry, logistics and far less competition between creators.
What drives the local economy
Six sectors present.
Manufacturing.
Logistics and warehousing.
Automotive and its suppliers.
Business services.
Retail and hospitality.
And technical training institutions.
What those clients order
Six frequent formats.
A recruitment video.
A company presentation.
Internal safety content.
A facility tour.
A video for a trade fair.
And communication toward a client or a head office.
Serving the capital without living there
Six concrete arguments.
A short, predictable journey.
Lower production costs.
Faster availability.
More accessible filming locations.
Weaker local competition.
And the ability to shoot early in the morning.
What to state to convince
Six elements.
The real travel time.
A clear travel rate.
Weekday availability.
Two examples filmed in the capital.
An ability to deliver several formats.
And a short turnaround, met.
Two markets, two price lists
Selling at the same price on both sides is a mistake in both directions. The local client has a tighter budget and a shorter order, the capital client is buying a service comparable to what they would pay for locally. Two written, owned price lists prevent being too expensive here and too cheap there.
How to build those two lists
Six markers.
A short package for local shops.
A half-day package for companies.
A day package for the capital.
A distinct travel rate.
A separate rights line.
And a review once a year.
Where the local clients are
Six categories reachable with no network.
Town-centre shops.
Restaurants and cafés.
Clinics and practices.
Dealerships and workshops.
Private schools.
And estate agencies.
What altitude also changes
Six practical effects.
Bright but harsh days.
Strong temperature gaps between shade and sun.
Batteries that hold less in cold weather.
A very blue sky, useful as a background.
Fast sunsets.
And a need for sun protection for the team.
The local calendar
Six markers across the year.
The dry season, best for outdoor work.
The rainy season, to anticipate.
The industrial trade fair periods.
The start of the school year.
The end-of-year holidays for shops.
And January, for new offers.
What a city near the capital orders
| The buyer | Their typical order | Their expectation |
|---|---|---|
| A local manufacturer | Product and workshop videos | Accurate technical vocabulary |
| A brand from the capital | A batch delivered remotely | A non-capital rate |
| A local business | Venue videos | Fast availability |
What proximity changes
Access to the capital's market without carrying its overheads. That is a real pricing advantage, provided you clearly state the travel time and the option to deliver without travelling.
What is prepared to work with the capital
A profile naming the city, the travel time and the formats delivered. Without those three, the brand assumes a logistical constraint that does not exist.
What the platform brings
On UGC MATCH, joining is free and there is no subscription: you are visible by category, language 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 position is only worth something if you state it. A profile mentioning only the capital loses local clients, a profile mentioning only the city loses the capital's budgets.
