A short, well-produced video does things a photograph cannot. It shows how a space feels, how a team works, how a product is made. For businesses across Essex — restaurants, nurseries, marine businesses, cycling shops, hospitality venues — video content gives potential customers a reason to choose you before they've even made contact.
Jon Wagstaff has produced promotional videos for a wide range of local businesses, from small independent shops to larger hospitality and leisure operations. Prices start from £295.
What to Expect
Most promotional videos run to around two to three minutes — long enough to show what matters, short enough to hold attention on social media or a website homepage. The process is straightforward:
- A brief conversation beforehand to discuss what you want the video to cover and where it will be used
- A shoot at your premises or location, typically half a day
- Editing with music (licensed), titles, and colour grading
- Delivery of the finished video in a format ready for web, social media, or broadcast
The videos in the showreel below include a pub, a nursery, a fish and chip shop, a bicycle shop, and a marine business — all shot and edited by Jon. They give a clear sense of the style and quality you can expect.
Where Businesses Use Their Videos
- Homepage hero or about section on their website
- Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube channel
- Google Business Profile (significantly improves local search visibility)
- Email campaigns and pitch documents
- Digital advertising
If you also need aerial footage — for a property, event, or business premises with an interesting setting — see drone photography, which can be combined with a ground-level video shoot.
