Portfolio Piece: Video Sales Letter for Private Aviation Service
Project Overview:
This Video Sales Letter (VSL) script was created for an anonymous regional private aviation company (confidential for portfolio purposes), showcasing the luxury, time-saving benefits, and exclusivity of flying private. The goal of this VSL is to effectively communicate the unique value of private aviation in a way that resonates with high-net-worth individuals and busy professionals, emphasizing efficiency, safety, and personalized service.
My Approach:
For this project, I focused on crafting a narrative-driven VSL that not only highlights the luxurious aspects of private aviation but also emphasizes the practical benefits that make it an intelligent choice for those who value their time and freedom.
The script is designed to:
- Identify pain points (e.g., frustration with commercial flying, long commutes, and time wasted in airports and traffic)
- Present the service as a solution, showcasing the time-saving, seamless experience that comes with private aviation
- Highlight the exclusivity and VIP experience that flying private offers, from the luxurious amenities to the personalized service
- Incorporate humor and engaging language to keep the tone both aspirational and relatable
- Showcase real results through the testimonials of satisfied customers, positioning private aviation as a game-changer for business and personal travel
- Provide a clear call to action that emphasizes the time-saving benefits and encourages viewers to schedule a consultation or book their first flight

Voiceover (Dry Humor):
“How much of your day are you willing to waste in traffic? Or sitting in that old, uncomfortable airport chair, counting down the minutes until your flight finally takes off? Now, imagine a world where you could fly 16 minutes — instead of 90 minutes stuck on the highway. No waiting, no lines, no stress — just complete freedom.”

Voiceover (Engaging with humor):
“Let’s talk about commercial flights for a second. The excitement of your trip is usually overshadowed by the chaos of getting there. TSA lines, delays, crowded terminals... The only thing worse than the stress of commercial air travel is knowing that you’re going to be late because someone decided to spill their coffee in line.”
