Are Formal Proposals Required for Each Potential Client?

Most of the time, in our opinion, the effort is typically worthwhile, presuming that you have pre-qualified the client. At Film District Dubai, we discover that a strong proposal gives us a considerably better chance of getting the job. But, creating it does take time, so make sure your services are within the client's budget before you begin.

For regular clients, it is advisable to use formal bids. Never assume that the clients you already have aren't looking at your rivals. In a proposal, you have the chance to remind them and their management of the benefits of choosing you in the past and why they should do so again.

We typically opt for a more casual approach in a few specific circumstances.

One of those is when a project's profit is modest. If the profit is extremely tiny, It might not be necessary to spend the time to create a formal proposal. In those circumstances, we often have a price discussion with the client before sending an email including the details. The only time we don't do so as a video production company in Dubai is if a client is trying us out with a modest project before hiring us for much larger projects in the future.

 

Your Proposal Must Be Professional in Outlook

When just starting out, you might have the need to employ a skilled marketing writer to develop a proposal form. Such a person should spend some time learning just what makes your business special and who your target market is. Then, you can create a proposal that you could adapt for each client, which can really be helpful!

Even if you can't afford to hire someone to do it for you, you should still make your own template based on your advantages and your particular target audience.

Nonetheless, it's crucial that your proposals read like they were produced by a professional. If your writing abilities are less than stellar, make sure to always have someone else look over and edit both your template and each proposal. Never send anything out from your business that has typos, grammatical problems, or spacing issues. Making a poor first impression is certain if you do it. These are just some of the steps we take at Film District Dubai to ensure that are proposals are professional in outlook.

 

What You Should Include in Your Proposal?

This will vary to some extent based on the client you're proposing to and the kind of project. Any information that demonstrates to the client your expertise in handling their particular job should be included.

As much as you can, make it specific to their business, project, and needs. For instance, be sure to highlight your previous experience if you plan to shoot a CEO of a corporation. Include previous employment with a business of a similar nature as well.

Also, you should project a good and expert image of your business. Make the most of every chance to brag about yourself. Anytime you get the opportunity to mention anything unique or alluring about your business, do so!
