Video ads · Christchurch & Canterbury Fresh video ads, without a filming day.

Short Facebook and Instagram ads for trade and home-service businesses, made from your own job photos. You keep running your ads; I keep them fresh — so people stop scrolling past the same one they saw back in winter.

Launch offer: 3 video ads for $200 — and you only pay once you’ve seen them.

Why so cheap? It’s launch pricing for my first 10 Canterbury businesses, while I build up real results to show. It won’t stay this price.

Samples

Samples, honestly labelled.

The first three are demo ads for a made-up heat pump business, so you can see the style. The other two are ads I made for my own Facebook page. They were all made with AI — the people, the places and the voices aren’t real. Yours would be built from your photos, your services and your prices, and nothing runs until you’ve approved it.

  • Sample 01 · Problem, then relief

    “Nor’wester on the way?”

    A seasonal hook for pre-summer servicing. Hot room, heat pump on, sigh of relief.

  • Sample 02 · Talking to camera

    “When did you last clean your heat pump?”

    A technician holds up a dusty filter and says one line. Best done with your own face and voice.

  • Sample 03 · The finished job

    “Tidy installs. No mess.”

    A calm, premium ad for installs and quotes, built around the finished job.

Other trades

Two more, made for my own Facebook page.

  • Sample 04 · The problem first

    “Being a tradie is the dream…”

    A tradie on site talks about the admin and chasing quotes. A problem people recognise, said straight to camera.

  • Sample 05 · The honest twist

    “Heads up, I’m not a real tradie.”

    A tradie by his van admits he’s an AI ad. It stops the scroll and shows exactly what you’d be getting.

Each one runs 10 to 20 seconds, vertical for Reels and Stories, with the words on screen so it works with the sound off. Your ads also come in the 4:5 size for the Facebook feed.

How it works

From your photos to a finished ad.

  1. Tell me about your business

    Fill in the short form below: what you do, where you work, and what you want more of — installs, servicing, quotes.

  2. Send a few job photos

    Five to ten photos from your phone is plenty: finished jobs, your van, you or your team at work. No filming day.

  3. Get your free sample

    I send you one finished video ad within a few working days. Like it? Order the pack. Don’t? No hard feelings.

Why bother

Ads go stale. Yours shouldn’t.

When people see the same ad for months, they stop noticing it. Fresh ads that match the season give them a reason to look again.

  • No filming days — built from photos you already have on your phone.
  • Your real work, not fake customers — no made-up reviews, testimonials or results. Ever.
  • Made for phones — vertical for Reels and Stories, 4:5 for the Facebook feed, with words on screen for people watching on mute.
  • Matched to the season — new hooks when the weather turns, not winter ads still running in October.
  • The words written for you — a headline and post text to go with every ad.
  • You approve everything — nothing runs until you’ve said yes.

What it costs

Two ways to start.

Launch pricing for my first 10 Canterbury businesses. You run the ads in your own Facebook account and set your own ad budget — that’s paid to Meta, not to me.

Starter pack

$200 one-off

Fresh every week

$490 a month

  • A running list of what we’ve tried, so nothing repeats
  • No lock-in contract — stop whenever you like

Questions

Fair things to ask.

Are the ads made with AI?

Yes. I use AI video tools to turn your photos into short clips, then I add your words and check every frame for anything that looks wrong. I don’t use AI to invent customers, reviews or results.

Do you run the ads for me?

No. You, or whoever runs them now, keep control of your Facebook account and your ad budget. I supply the videos and the words to go with them.

What do you need from me?

A few lines about your business and five to ten job photos from your phone. For a talking-to-camera ad, a short clip of you on your phone works best.

Is the free sample really free?

Yes. One sample ad, no invoice and nothing to sign. If you want the starter pack after that, you pay once you’ve seen the ads.

Who is it for?

Trade and home-service businesses in Christchurch and around Canterbury that advertise on Facebook or Instagram, or want to start.
