Push cards owing to with your details on. place cards up in shop windows etc.
Post an add on http://www.craigslist.com offering to do a free wedding for someone who might not be able to afford a videographer. You might be losing money, but this way you get an event without prior examples to help you build your affair. People will not have expectations since the job is free, so you don’t have to worry about people asking for their money back for an "amateur" job.
To comepete in this very competative market you will first need to work for a company to get demo reel material. Then you will need to invest about $10-15,000+ in the best professional video and editing equipment. A professional website and links to the many online wedding reasource pages will help with marketing and a studio or office where you can meet clients to discuss their needs is a must.
Place some packages together reflecting the prices of your talent and local market and expect to so the first few weddings for friends for free.
Take some classes on digital video and editing and how to shoot weddings. it is not as simple as you reckon. Shooting about 4-6 hours of footage at a wedding, your editing time will be about 40-60 hours.
If you need any other help let me know…
