We are sad to announce that the small business Barrie Real Estate Tours is closing as of December, 2020. We have worked with them since the beginning of Air Support, and wish Helen and Wilson the best of luck on their next adventure! It is actually thanks to this very partnership with them that made A.S.A.P. what it is today. Being our first large and reoccurring customer, they helped us grow and continue our work over these past crazy years!

Through our partnership with, Barrie Real Estate Tours, we provided aerial video and photography of properties while they captured the interiors and edited some amazing content for clients around Ontario. 

While we are sad that this chapter for them is closing, rest assured that Air Support Aerial Photography remains open and continues to serve the communities that raised us to what we are today.

Thanks again, guys, and stay safe!

Hello, everyone! Just a quick update on our company!

 We are No Longer on Facebook 
We have elected to delete our facebook page. We want to support platforms that value facts, and the truth, and we don't believe facebook meets our qualifications, hence as of today, we will no longer have a presence there. We do, however remain on other platforms such as Vimeo, Youtube and Twitter. Be sure to follow us on Instagram too! Use the social icons on the top right of our site to check them out!

We've dropped Dropbox and are now using Sync.com and Microsoft 365
To further develop our belief of privacy and keeping all data within Canada, we have changed over to the Canadian cloud site Sync.com. We will use this service to transfer your files to you once they are ready. Your data (unlike Dropbox) will always stay in Canada, and will be encrypted in the cloud and in transit when you download! It's a win-win in our books, and same for our customers!

We have, and will continue to use Microsoft Outlook and Onedrive for our continued contact with costumers, we have had a positive experience with it since the beginning and will continue to use these services.

Let us know if you ever have any questions in regards to our business or our policies.

Please stay safe and healthy during these days!

Regards,

​Henry

Other artists understand that doing ones' art often comes as a price. When one has a friend who is an amazing painter and one asks them to do free work, it can often be a smack in the face for the artist, for the work itself has value, not to mention the paints, brushes, canvas and possible lessons and LOTS time put into perfecting their skills. The same goes for aerial multi-media.

While we remain one of the best for competitive pricing, there are many factors that the public doesn't think about when asking a company for a quote. Common Things that are expenses can include:

• Equipment: A good quality drone starts around $1000-$2000. You also must maintain it!
• Travel Expenses: Fuel for the car! (Unless you have a Tesla)
• Camera Equipment: Can include filters, cleaners, etc... Let's say $100
• Insurance!: Most companies will probably pay around $2000-$3000 a year for liability
• Cell: To communicate! Let's say $1000 a year
• Editing software: Adobe Creative cloud (Industry standard) costs around $1000 a year
• Meals and etc...: The company workers have to work too! Let's say another $1000 a year
• Employees: Depending on size of the organization, lets say they get around 25% of profits
• Taxes: Yes, small biz can pay taxes too!
• Licences: Taxing exams and flight reviews to stay current also cost a lot!
• Paying themselves: Owners have to eat, pay for rent and have lives too!

As one can see, running a small biz can have more overhead than one might think! Luckily, A.S.A.P. Does out best to give our clients the best and most competitive pricing for the best media for our clients! 

If you ever have any questions on why a shoot costs as it does, don't be afraid to ask the people you are hiring, but chances are, some of the elements listed above may come up!  At the end of the day, remember you ARE supporting small biz!
