How Vitrina Helps Equipment Rentals Identify Sales Opportunities

1. Track Projects by Stage: Development and Production

• Current projects in development or production.
• Preferred genres and production scales (e.g., indie films, high-budget blockbusters).

• Unreleased project slates where rental needs may arise.

By understanding their past equipment usage and project profiles, you can align your services with their specific needs.

3. Monitor Individual Target Projects

Vitrina allows you to keep a tab on specific projects of interest. You can monitor when early-stage projects move into development or production, ensuring you pitch your services at the right time. Stay informed about updates to production schedules, collaborators, and equipment needs to align your outreach efforts effectively.

4. Connect with Key Decision-Makers

Vitrina provides verified contact details for the people who make equipment decisions, such as:

• Directors of Photography (DPs): Responsible for selecting cameras, lenses, and rigs.
• Line Producers: Managing equipment rentals within the production budget.
• Production Managers: Coordinating logistics for hardware and rental services.

Direct outreach to these decision-makers ensures your equipment is considered when rental needs arise.

5. Monitor Regional Production Hubs

Different regions present unique opportunities for equipment rental providers. Vitrina highlights the most active production markets:

• North America: High-budget productions with advanced equipment requirements.
• Europe: A blend of indie projects and mid-budget productions needing versatile equipment packages.
