Whether you're a video messaging virtuoso or just starting to dip your toes in, these tips are your golden ticket to video mail that's not just seen but remembered. Let's dive in and make every video mail a masterpiece of engagement and connection!

How-To Framing (for a space):

Subtly weave your brand into the backdrop—think a logo on a mug or a poster on the wall. These elements do double duty as decor and brand ambassadors, effortlessly boosting recognition.

For an interactive touch, use a whiteboard to write your intro or key message; holding it up in the first three seconds creates a dynamic preview in your SalesMail, capturing attention right from the get-go. 

It's all about striking the perfect balance – minimalism meets brand identity, ensuring your video mail packs a professional punch while keeping it fun and engaging.

Stepping into the intermediate zone, it’s time to add some depth to your video... literally! 

Simply start by positioning yourself a bit further away from the back wall. This small adjustment separates you from the background, adding depth and focus to you as the speaker. 

For those working with limited space, getting depth requires a bit of creativity. Practically speaking, you can utilize vertical space by adjusting items at different heights in the background. For example, arranging shelves with items at different depths or using wall art variably spaced can add that desired 3D effect. 

By playing with perspective and arranging things cleverly, you can make even tight spaces look dynamic and engaging. It's all about using what you've got in smart ways to make sure your message stands out, making every video visually engaging, no matter the size of your room. 

Let's elevate your video presence with our advanced tip: color coordination. To ensure you're the focal point, pair your attire with your background thoughtfully. Choose a dark background if you're wearing light colors, or a light background for dark colors. This contrast is simple yet effective, drawing the viewer's attention directly to you.

Keep in mind, it's not just your clothes, but your hair color too, that needs to stand out against your background. Aim for a contrast that ensures your outfit and hair are clearly visible, putting you in the spotlight of the video. 

For a universally professional look, lean towards neutral background colors like beige, grey, or soft whites. These shades work with a wide array of clothing options, minimizing clashes and maintaining a polished appearance. 

I've been talking about color coordination, but surprise—it's all color theory! You're already getting the hang of it, way to go!
