Today we discuss how video mail is an undeniably effective tool for driving opens and clicks for your marketing communications. 

While video mail has been traditionally used in a one-to-one capacity, using it in a one-to-many capacity can be a game-changer for email marketers. 

Video Email Marketing 

Even with the influx of new marketing technologies and trends, email marketing remains a top tactic for marketers everywhere.  

Marketers, however, are still challenged to compete for attention in their audience's inboxes.  

With that challenge at hand, innovating your email marketing can deliver significant benefits. Today, this is why marketing professionals everywhere use video in their email strategies. By adding video to your emails, you are introducing a new medium that will break up the monotony of text and images.  

Let’s discuss the major, practical benefits for implementing this strategy. 

Using video in your email campaigns will immediately build your brand awareness. It gives your audience a chance to learn who you are – putting a face to the name. Using video in your emails, you will convey an authentic brand narrative; your customers can hear your inflection, see your face, and understand the overall message you wish to communicate. Not only this, but by communicating via video, you’ll likely save time! Drafting an email that is engaging and genuine, in addition to the graphic design component, can be needlessly time-consuming.  

Sending video mail will allow your messages to stand out in your audience’s inboxes rather than being lost to the sea of black and white. The movement of a video preview or GIF will pull attention right to your message.   

But don’t just take our word for it, let’s look at the stats!
