Video Television Production Business Plan

EvergreenTV Productions is a multi-faceted production company operating on three basic levels.

The Home Division of EvergreenTV Productions is centered around one product. Using the most advanced, all-digital editing equipment, our company turns standard photos into video “scrapbooks” of various length and style, all set to selected music backgrounds. Customers are given a free consultation to review the process, help in selecting needed music, and given an explanation of each of the four packages of videos from which they may choose. Each package is a detailed rate plan, with varying costs. By using this free consultation, customers are assured a unique and personalized video.

The Tour and Travel Division handles various projects which may present themselves to our production company. This division is not primarily a revenue generator, but is vital to the growth of the company. Projects will be hand picked based upon a referral system. By minimizing the number of projects, we control quality and reputation as a production company which specializes, rather than an all-encompassing production facility which forsakes quality for quantity of projects. This division is responsible every quarter for producing a new hour long video of areas of interest around Tampa Bay.

The Business to Business Division (B2B) is the heart and soul of EvergreenTV Productions, the center of the vision for which the company began. It is a marketing service for college and university students of broadcasting, and a news programming service for small market tv stations. News directors are encouraged to contact the students for job openings, and students are given an account history of which stations purchased their story. These stories are marketed to the bottom 115 (Nielsen market) tv stations nationwide.
