How effective are video emails?

This is a difficult question to answer - it all depends on who you send the video to, and how relevant it is to the recipient. Relevance is the key to success with video email. You should only send Video Emails to potentially interested viewers, then you will get response rates that will drive your business forward. In my experience sending well targeted video email attracts a viewing rate of 50%, with a click-through for more information of over 93%.

What's the best way to use video email?

'Sell the sizzle not the sausage' the basis of all advertising.: Video email is about as sizzling as you can get! Video is all about selling emotion, excitement and ideas. The associated copy on your video email page has the detail.

How quickly can you get my video email online?

Generally, the day after filming unless its a complicated edit, or if you didn't give me enough time to arrange things properly.

What's the quality is the final video?

The final video is good enough to broadcast, output to flash may upset some technophiles, but it's going to look as good as TV.

Can the video be shown full-screen?

Well, that's always a possibility, but remember the main point of the video is to raise interest and awareness of your message, the copy around the video is important too, maybe even more important from a business point of view. If you run the video at full screen, your target audience will quite probably watch the video then close it and move on. With the smaller video size I recommend your target will begin looking at the copy while watching the video and continue reading after the video has finished. Small is beautiful!

Is there any discount for multiple video email productions?

Maybe, but don't expect too much.

Can I include my own video footage or photographs?

It can be done, everything's possible. It often works very well - if you've got a long lead time before the opening of a new development, then it can prove You must ensure you have permission to use the video or photography, I expect a signed disclaimer so that in event of legal problems it's not my problem.

Who owns the copyright?

I own the copyright.

Do video emails get filtered out by spam filters?

Spam filters aren't particularly looking for video emails so it depends how aggressive the parameters are set. Omitting from your email all the words that spam filters are looking for helps, and not needing to include the word 'click' or 'click here' helps enormously.

Do you incorporate any special FX?

I don't include any special FX unless you specifically ask for them, they could incur a increase in production cost. More importantly special FX don't communicate very much either - video email is about short sharp messages, about one minute maximum, it needs to be direct and powerful.

What file format are the video emails produced in?

I stick to flash, it's the most popular format for web browsers. Other formats often require clients to download players, which is a big turn-off.

Can I host the video email on my own site?

Of course you can, I produce a competitive package which includes hosting, but should you wish to host your video email elsewhere you can hire me as a video producer, that way you do get the best of my expertise in video email production and I'll output the finished film in any format you choose.

How long do you host my Video Email?

As long as you want me to, however if it remains inactive for three months I may ask if you intend to use it again or whether you'd like me to remove it.

What about locations, can we film in multiple locations?

I can film anywhere you want me to - except war zones (and it's my call on where is a war zone). Usually after I arrive at the first location travel between other locations is charged for on a time and costs basis. But I'm an easygoing sort of guy, let's talk about it.
