Your Game Plan

More agents and trades booking you, every month

Step one is your new website. After that, three ways to grow Visionary Media in Taranaki, including one where we work together.

Open your website

Prepared for Mason, Visionary Media by Richard, C.E.A Smith · November 2026

What you told me

What you are after

  1. You shoot photo, video, drone and social content for small trade businesses and real estate agents.
  2. You do not have a website yet, and you wanted one with interactive features.
  3. You wanted it in the same colours as your logo.
  4. You wanted it done as soon as possible.

What I found

Research on your market

Before we spoke, I looked at property and trade content around New Plymouth: who else does it, what sells, and where the steady money is.

Listing photos are a crowded fight on price

At least six operators shoot listings around New Plymouth, and the one that publishes prices sells a low flat package. Winning on listing photos alone means winning on price.

The steady money is agents and trades on repeat

The same local operator also sells monthly social content packs and agent reels. Agents list every month and trades post every week, so they buy again and again. That is the line worth growing.

Your edge is trade content

Nobody local leads with content for trade businesses. Your painting reel is exactly the kind of work that sells it, and the new website puts it front and centre.

Easy add-ons to every shoot

Floor plans, a short social reel of the listing, and an agent-on-camera video are cheap to add once you are on site, and local agents already pay for them.

Monthly content for trades

A set number of reels a month for a painter, roofer or builder turns one-off jobs into income you can count on. Construction progress flyovers for builders and before-and-after shoots for renovators fit your drone work too.

Most trades have nobody running their marketing

Small trades usually post now and then themselves, if at all. Your reels are made, then often sit unused. Running them as ads and on their Google listing is the missing half, and it is where we come in.

Drone work near the airport needs care

Most roof and construction jobs fit under Part 101 with consent, but flying within 4 km of New Plymouth Airport or over people needs extra steps. Worth having in your terms.

Start here

Step one: your new website

The website you have seen, live on your own web address: your logo, your photos and your reel, the scroll-driven drone hero, the portfolio and the shoot planner.

Built at Signature level and priced as Professional. A free upgrade of your VM logo in titanium comes with it.

When you are ready

Grow from here

Three ways to bring in more work. Each one stands on its own, so pick any of them, or none, whenever it suits you.

Plan 1

Found when Taranaki searches

When an agent or a tradie searches for a property photographer or drone work near New Plymouth, you come up first, with reviews that back you.

proposed
$899

one-off setup

  • Your Google Maps listing set up properly: the right categories, your services, your best photos.
  • A simple way to ask every happy agent and tradie for a Google review.
  • Your website set up so Google understands what you do and where.

Why: You do not have a website yet, so right now Google has very little to show for you.

Your time: Send the review link after each job.

What I recommendPlan 2

Agents and trades coming to you

Ads that put your reels in front of Taranaki agents and trade businesses, with an offer that turns them into booked shoots.

$999

one-off setup

$499 a month

from the month it starts

  • Ads made from your own reels and photos, aimed at agents and trade businesses around Taranaki.
  • An offer built around a monthly content package, so the work comes back every month.
  • Every enquiry sent straight to you, and a plain report of what the ads brought in.

Why: You were waiting on a possible video retainer client. This is how you find more of them instead of waiting.

Your time: Answer the enquiries and do the shoots.

Plan 3

Partners: you make it, we market it

You shoot and edit. We run your trade clients' ads, Google listings and websites. Each of us sends the other work.

Priced with you

once we know the answers below

  • Your trade clients get their reels actually used: run as ads and posted where their customers look.
  • We send you the businesses we work with that need photos, video or drone content.
  • You bill for your content and we bill for ours, so neither of us chases the other for money.
  • A referral fee both ways, agreed together, so every introduction is worth something to both of us.

Why: You make content for small trade businesses. Most of them have nobody to run it once it is made.

Your time: A short chat each time you have a client who needs their content run.

Priced once we know more: Partnership terms, agreed together on a call

All prices plus GST. Ad spend is paid to Meta directly, on top.

Before we build

What we still need to know

We only build what you need, so these come first.

Who pays you most right now, agents or trades, and is any of it monthly?

It tells us which of the plans to start with.

When you make a reel for a tradie, what happens to it after you hand it over?

If nobody runs it, that is the partnership.

What are your Instagram, Facebook and TikTok handles?

So the website links to them. We could not find them online.

Is Mahony Painting happy for their reel to be on your website?

It is your best trade example, so we want their OK before it goes live.

Start with the website

Step one is all you need. Pay the deposit within 14 days of getting the link and you get 15% off your domain, hosting and SSL security for the first year. The plans are here for when you want more work coming in. Any questions, reply to the email or call Richard.
