Tired of $150–250/hr
editors and $1,350+/mo retainers?
Houston local businesses shopping short-form video editing hit one of three walls: LYFE Marketing quotes $1,350+/mo with a 3-month minimum, Feedbird layers SaaS subscriptions on top of work you still do yourself, and inBeat-style creator shops charge $150–250/hr per clip. ClipCraft is the $500/month middle — flat rate, 3 edits a week, 24–72 hour turnaround, month-to-month. Three cold emails across nine days that name the gap on send one, ship a 48-hour case-study comparison on send two, and close the trial CTA on send three. Swap the {{first_name}} and {{vertical}} tokens and send.
Hi {{first_name}} — quick note. Most {{vertical}} owners I talk to film a few things a week on the floor and never post any of it because the editing never gets done.
I run a short-form video editing studio for Houston local businesses. The pack: $500/month flat, 3 edits/week, motion graphics and sound design, 24–72 hour turnaround from when you send the clip, one revision round included — no setup fees, no contracts. Your first edit is on us so you can see the work before any money changes hands.
If you've got a 3–5 minute clip lying around, send it over using the link below. I'll cut a 30-second teaser and ship it back before it's time to talk about the plan.
Hi {{first_name}} — following up. Quick case snippet and a side-by-side so you can see how the price gap actually plays out, not just on paper.
Last month a Houston {{vertical}} sent us a 4-minute raw clip on a Monday morning. By Wednesday afternoon — 48 hours later — they had back a captioned, motion-graphic'd, sound-designed 30-second Reel cut for vertical. No kickoff call, no onboarding invoice, no contract on file before the work shipped.
Side-by-side with the alternatives Houston owners usually shop: LYFE Marketing quotes $1,350–1,500/mo with a 3-month minimum and 5–7 day turnarounds. Feedbird is heavier — tiered packages, longer forms, slower edits. inBeat-style creator shops bill $150–250/hr per clip and quote-by-project. ClipCraft runs $500/mo flat, 3 edits a week, 24–72 hour turnaround, month-to-month.
Last note from me, {{first_name}}. Quick deadline and a clean exit — both your call.
The free-first-edit slot is open through end of week. Here's how the trial actually works before you commit: send a 3–5 minute raw clip from the {{vertical}}, get back a 30-second captioned teaser with motion graphics and sound design in 24–72 hours. No card on file, no contract, no subscription — billing only starts after you've watched the cut and decided the work is worth continuing. If the teaser isn't a fit, you're out nothing and we part friends.
If now isn't the right time, just reply "later" and I stop — no drip reminders, no guilt, and the same offer stands whenever you're ready. If it is, the link below gets the clip to me.
