My Experience with Prime Seven Media
My Experience with Prime Seven Media I feel it is important to share my experience with Prime Seven Media so that other authors can make an informed decision before committing to their services. In my experience, while Prime Seven Media does provide the services it advertises, I found the prices charged to be extraordinarily high when compared with other companies offering similar services. One example concerns the production of a book trailer for one of my books. Prime Seven Media charged me $8,000 for this service. Some time later, after speaking with another reputable media company, I was quoted £500 for producing a comparable book trailer. A friend of mine, who was convinced that I had been significantly overcharged, commissioned the second company to produce a trailer for the very same book. Both trailers were then submitted independently to a company that reviews books and book trailers for promotional purposes. I was informed that the £500 trailer was the one they would have chosen if considering the book for film promotion. For me, this raised serious questions about whether the much higher price I had paid represented good value for money. Unfortunately, this was not an isolated concern. In my opinion, the pricing of a number of Prime Seven Media's services appeared to be substantially higher than comparable services available elsewhere. Had I understood the market better at the time, I would have sought quotations from several providers before committing. My purpose in writing this review is not to discourage authors from investing in the promotion of their books, but to encourage them to do careful research, obtain multiple quotations, and compare both pricing and the quality of work before making any financial commitment. Based on my own experience, I would strongly advise prospective clients to explore alternative media companies and compare costs and deliverables carefully. Doing so may save you a considerable amount of money while achieving results that are just as good—or, in my experience, even better.
