How much does a promotional video cost in Southampton?

It is the first question everyone asks and the one most agencies dodge. So here is a straight answer from a Southampton agency that makes promotional videos every week.

The short answer

Most promotional videos for local businesses land between a few hundred pounds and a few thousand. As a rough guide for Southampton and Hampshire:

• Simple social media edit from existing footage: from around £300
• Half-day shoot with one location and a single edited video: £500 to £1,200
• Full-day shoot with multiple locations, interviews and several cuts: £1,200 to £3,000
• Brand film with concept development, actors or multiple filming days: £3,000 and up

Every project is quoted individually, so treat these as brackets rather than a price list. A tight brief in a single location can come in under these ranges; a complicated idea can go over.

What changes the price

Filming days

The single biggest factor. Each filming day carries crew, kit and setup time, so one well-planned day beats two loose ones. Good planning is how we keep budgets down.

Locations and travel

One location is cheapest. Every extra location adds setup and travel time. We are based in Southampton, so anywhere in Hampshire keeps travel costs negligible.

Editing complexity

A clean cut with music and captions is quick. Motion graphics, animation and heavy sound design take longer and cost more. Be honest about what the video actually needs; often the simple version sells better.

How many versions you need

A landscape master plus vertical cuts for social is the sensible default. Ordering the extra formats at the start costs far less than coming back for them later.
