Watch: What CDS Visuals Can Do for You

See what one shoot day turns into.

A walkthrough of how we work with dealerships — what a shoot day covers, how fast it comes back, and what you end up owning.

We know your world

Most equipment dealers struggle with

You sit between the manufacturer and the customer buying the machine, and almost nobody on either side sees what that actually takes. These are the things dealers tell us on the first call.

01
Heavy Equipment sitting on the lot
A buyer comparing machines gets a spec sheet and a stock photo. Nothing shows the machine working, nothing shows your yard, and nothing gives them a reason to call you instead of the dealer two states over.
02
A sales team that cannot be everywhere
Your reps can only be at one customer at a time. A walkaround, a demo, and a customer story travel for them — into an inbox, a text thread, and a phone in a truck cab at seven in the morning.
03
OEM content with somebody else’s name on it
Manufacturer assets are good, and they are also generic. Localized content puts your machines, your locations, and your people in the frame — so the customer sees they are buying from a neighbor, not a logo.
04
Service bays nobody can see
Half the value of the dealer relationship is uptime — the shop, the field trucks, the parts counter, the techs. Customers underestimate all of it, and none of it is on video.
05
Events and open houses that end when the tent comes down
You spend real money getting customers on site for a demo day or an anniversary. The day should produce weeks of content, not a folder of phone photos nobody opens again.
Our approach

Solution-based video built to win you work.

We do not make videos for video’s sake. We build content around a real problem in your business — moving machines, backing the sales team, filling the service bays — then put it to work.

A plan, not a band-aid
One-off videos collect dust. The right content, consistently, pointed at an actual goal — machines sold, bays filled, customers who stay with the dealership.
A field-tested crew
We are not an agency that has never set foot on a yard or a customer’s jobsite. Years around these machines — PPE ready, fluent around the machines, knowing what shot matters.
End-to-end, off your plate
Strategy, shoot, edit, and library — we handle all of it, so a marketing team of one can hand off a project and know it is handled.
One shoot, dozens of assets
Every shoot day adds to your library with usable video and photos you own and can pull from all year.
What we shoot for dealers

One crew. Every format the dealership needs.

Every visit is built to produce a main video, social cuts, and photos — one shoot day, a stack of assets your sales floor and your service department can both use.

Machine walkarounds & demos
Your machines, on your lot, with your name on them — walkarounds and demos a rep can send to a buyer before the first visit.
Customer testimonials
Your customers on camera, on their own jobsites — proof of the relationship behind the sale, not just the machine.
Service, parts & product support
Shop capabilities, field service trucks, and maintenance how-tos — the content that fills bays between machine sales.
Dealer events & open houses
Demo days, anniversaries, and launch events covered start to finish, then mined for weeks of post content.
Recruiting video
Techs are as hard to hire as operators. Show the shop, the trucks, and the people so the good ones apply to you.
Brand & capabilities film
The story behind the dealership, cut to win work — the video you play in the lobby and send before the deal.
The media library

Everything we shoot, you own.

Most agencies hand you a final cut and keep the rest. We hand you everything — every video, every photo, every clip, tagged, searchable, and yours to keep. Your team finds the shot they need in 30 seconds, not 30 minutes.

Photos
A full still set from every shoot — print, web, and social ready.
Video
Long-form films and short-form cut-downs, sized and captioned for every platform.
Searchable clip library
Every clip tagged and searchable. Pull the shot you need in 30 seconds, not 30 minutes.
Custom branded motion graphics
End cards, lower thirds, and animated overlays — a consistent branded layer that’s yours.

The CDS Visuals guarantee

You carry none of the risk.

Hiring a video partner shouldn’t feel like a gamble. So we took the three things you’re probably weighing off the table.

No long-term lock-in
After your initial scope, monthly partnerships are month-to-month. You stay because it’s working.
If it misses, we fix it
If a deliverable doesn’t hit the brief we agreed to, we make it right — that’s not a revision, that’s us doing our job.
The library is yours, forever
Every video, photo, and raw asset we shoot stays in your library and stays yours — whether we work together once or for years.
That’s the deal. You bring the business; we carry the risk.

Straight answers

What dealers ask us first.

What kind of video actually works for a dealership?

Machine walkarounds and demos that move heavy equipment, service and parts content that fills bays, customer testimonials that prove the relationship, event and open-house coverage, and recruiting content for techs. Localized content beats OEM stock — your name on the machines, your people in the frame, your locations in the background.

Can you film at our customers’ jobsites?

Yes, and dealers tell us that is where the best content comes from. We show up in full PPE, OSHA 10 certified, and we do not interrupt the customer’s job. Nixon-Egli sends us out to customer sites without worrying, because we get the content without becoming a liability on someone else’s site.

Is your crew safe around heavy equipment?

Our crew is OSHA 10 certified and our drone pilots are FAA Part 107 licensed. We bring our own hard hats, vests, glasses, and boots, brief with whoever runs safety, and work around your schedule instead of stopping it. Jenna Farmer at Yancey Bros. Co. put it this way: “CDS came out ready: they had their boots on, their vest, their glasses. They knew how close they could be to the machinery.”

How fast do we get content back from an event?

Same day at shows and events; three to five business days from a standard shoot day for finished cuts. One event typically yields weeks of post content — Nixon-Egli’s 60th anniversary tournament produced enough social material to run long after the day itself.

Will you travel to our branches and events?

Yes, coast to coast. Nixon-Egli is in California and we are in Fort Mill, SC, and we have never missed one of their events — including the night flights got canceled and the crew drove through to make an 8 a.m. start. Travel and accommodations are built into our scope, so there are no variable travel costs.

Can we use the footage for OEM or co-op marketing?

You own every asset we shoot, so how you use it is up to you and your agreements with the manufacturer. We deliver in the sizes and specs your OEM portals and dealer networks need, plus the raw files if their team wants to re-cut anything.

How does this help the service department, not just sales?

Service and parts content shows customers what keeps their machine running — shop capabilities, field service trucks, maintenance how-tos, and the people behind them. That is the content that fills bays between machine sales and makes the dealer relationship worth paying for.

How do you price a program like this?

We price the problem, not a rate card. Three things drive the scope: how many production days you need, how many deliverables come out of each one, and how often we are on site — a single event, a quarterly refresh, or a monthly partnership across your branches. Travel and accommodations are built in, so there are no variable travel costs and no change-order games. On the strategy call we scope it against your goals and put a flat number in writing before you commit to anything.
