[newsletter] It Is All About Video Email

Do any of these statements ring a bell?

Fax machines will never catch on, especially since the person at the other end needs one as well.

Social media is a waste of time! Nobody is going to increase their sales with a bookmark or a Tweet.

Facebook … that is just a site for college kids who should be studying.

This is why I have dedicated the posts over the last couple of months almost exclusively to explaining the value proposition of video email.

Software Updates & New Features

Video Email Templates: A Fresh New Look and Feel

We have updated three of our video email templates. The new design has a larger background image, so the video email templates display well on both low and high-resolution screens (small and large monitors). We have also improved the way exit links work, to drive more focus to your calls-to-action.

“Hotspots” Launched: Perfect for Qualifying Leads and Interest Level

This is the data you need, to focus on your most qualified leads. Video analytics isn’t just about number of views. Frankly, numbers alone can be very misleading. What you need to know is how many people watched your video and where people started to x-out (lose interest in the content). This is why we created ”Hotspots”: a heatmap view of how people watch your videos.

P.S.

The larger our audience becomes, the more time we can invest in creating content. So feel free to make liberal use of the floating share buttons to the left of each post.
