the review
A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this client over the phone. Below is an edited transcript.
Introduce your business and what you do there.
I’m the director of an outdoor flooring cleaning company. We clean patios and outdoor spaces made of materials such as blocks, paving stones, concrete, and slabs.
What challenge were you trying to address with Open House Pictures?
We hired them to help with advertising.
What was the scope of their involvement?
They planned, created, and filmed an advertisement video.
What is the team composition?
Joe (Videographer & Digital Content Producer) and Dan (Video Content Lead & Producer) were our main points of contact.
How did you come to work with Open House Pictures?
We had mutual connections, and we’d done business before with Joe’s father.
What is the status of this engagement?
I think we began our relationship with them in September 2019, and we finished around April 2020.
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
We put the advertisement on Facebook Ads, and we’ve been running it for a few months. We’ve earned about five jobs so far, so it’s definitely paid for itself. We have a niche audience because we’re advertising in such a small geographic area, so given that, the leads we’ve gotten from the ad are significant.
How did Open House Pictures perform from a project management standpoint?
We met in person a lot, but we also communicated via email and over the phone. There was a good amount of back and forth to ensure that we got the result we were looking for. They were really responsive and helpful. They even helped me publish the video on Facebook.
What did you find most impressive about them?
The service they provided was very personal. They met with us whenever we needed, and they were always in touch with us.
Are there any areas they could improve?
No, I don’t think so.
Do you have any advice for potential customers?
Definitely try them. They’re small enough to give you a personalized experience but large enough to offer comprehensive services.
