Products & Services
Our program targets the eight major markets you see here and numerus additional income areas. You don't have to offer every market in your Videomasters business, only the ones you like. Our affiliate network is always trying out new markets and improving the current ones. We report those results back to you. The potential income in each of these markets is impossible to predict as some of you will do this business on a part-time basis. We offer you some very conservative pricing samples that were provided to us by our active affiliates, therefore your potential income may vary.
Weddings & Other Events
Create beautiful remembrances of those special moments in peoples' lives. Today, most weddings and other memorable events are video taped. We do more than that, we create a finished production that is a pleasure to watch for years to come. Our affiliates report to us that a single wedding production can range from $1,200 to over $2,500. Other additions such as montages, copies, or DVDs can add extra value and profit for you.
Photo & Film Transfer
This is one of the hottest markets today. Customers bring you photos, slides, and other memorabilia for you to create a video that is complete with music and maybe even some narration. Once they show your finished video, the audience can't wait to make a similar video for a special occasion of their own. Transferring home movie film to video is still going strong and we give you the ability to offer this to your customers. Average orders retail in the $100 to $600 range for each finished video. Transferring home movie film to video is still going strong and we give you the ability to offer this to your customers as well as other vendors through our third party transfer program.
Live Productions
This market includes; Dance Recitals, Plays, Graduations, Sporting Events, and more. You can shoot these events with one or more cameras and either live mix them together or edit the footage together afterwards. Affiliates tell us they sell multiple copies of the finished video, sometimes by the hundreds of copies at $20 to $35 each.
Duplication
The video format revolution has consumers shooting with one format and watching it on another, which has really opened up this already profitable market. The average consumer has no idea how to make a copy of their videotape or they are too busy to fool with it. So they bring it to companies like Videomasters to have it copied. We also can convert videotapes from Europe to the American TV system or visa versa. Additional copies are a welcome add on to every market and keeps your customers coming back again and again. An average price for a two hour videotape duplication retails for $15.95 to $19.95 each with a discount added for multiple copies. Now DVD is adding another level of excitement to this market. 13 million DVD players were sold last year and this market is exploding. The average DVD copy is $29.95 to $39.95.
Legal
Depositions, Day in the Life, Editing, Accident Recreation, Last Will, Demonstrative Evidence, and Mock Trials are potential areas of income in the legal video market. We include a certification training program for this market so you can feel confident offering your services to attorneys. Rates for video depositions average $75 to $125 per hour. A single deposition can last for days.

By commercial we mean videos produced for businesses. Product demos, employee training, sales videos, etc. are all videos businesses use everyday. Affiliates pursuing this market, offer a variety of creative services such as concept development, scripting, taping, directing, producing, editing, graphics, narration, and duplication. An average business video will sell for $250 to $2,000 per finished minute. That means a ten minute finished production could range between $2,500 to $20,000.
Broadcast
Thirty second TV commercial spots yield our affiliates $500 to $2500 each. Companies have also found the infomercial an economical way to reach their target audience. Our affiliates also produce showcase type shows that can highlight several businesses during the airing. Pricing for these types of productions vary with the length and complexity of the show. Rates for these services are similar to those charged in the commercial market.
