Email Marketing with motion

Email Marketing with motion and emotion

Video brings motion and emotion to your customer email marketing. It can change the way a customer interacts with you and how they feel.

When you do video marketing right, customers can’t help but notice you!

So lets talk about customer emotion in relation to email marketing, we need to talk about the three things that happen when they feel something. It starts with what they physically do (sit, watch, click, ), what they focus on and did the message we use mean something. Emotion comes from motion, so what we do physically affects our actions. Our feelings are tied to our movement…so if you want to change the state of your customers emotion, get them to physically do something different. Get them to Engage?

Also maybe we should question our email marketing focus. Frequently, we work ourselves into a tizzy because we are focused on what we think is the customer outcome. If you want to break out of a pattern, concentrate on something different. Change the marketing focus and you will change your attitude towards your customer marketing. While, you are at it, why not change the way you are thinking too. Usually, we ask poor marketing questions (even in our thoughts) and we get bad results. Improve your questions and you will improve the state of mind you approach any marketing campaign. Improve your marketing message or language and you will improve your customers state of mind as well. It is all about marketing discipline. Lao-Tzu said, “Don’t think you can attain total awareness and whole enlightenment without proper discipline and practice.

Email marketing has churned out millions of pieces of HTML based “marketing messages”. The purpose is for your customer to read and click. Why not change your focus to video in email marketing, where the purpose is to get your customer to watch, smile, laugh, nod, cry, rewind, interact, click.

When we think “video marketing” do you think that by simply posting a video to YouTube, for example, that it will go viral. Ask yourself the question “Is that target marketing?”, why not decide to target your video for use it in existing marketing efforts including email marketing. This could generate targeted exposure which, if your video is shared, appear on social networks as well.

Change is discipline, the once powerful marketing channel of e-mail is experiencing growing pains. Consumers are finding e-mail messages less relevant and experiencing e-mail fatigue.

Video can evoke emotion, video email gives e-mail a “human touch.” “Everyone wants marketing to be more personal. With video marketing we are not talking about different types of marketing, we are talking about using video as a different channel to physically engage a customer (sit, watch, smile,nod,laugh, cry,click, ). What it all boils down to is “customer engagement.”

Video Marketing

Video Marketing

The use of video marketing on the Internet is still in its infancy but experiencing rapid growth.

The effectiveness of video comes from the fact that the human brain is wired for visual stimulation and is most attracted to visual movement (think TV or YouTube). As email marketing or indeed most forms of marketing have been enveloped into social media strategy, there are numerous benefits to incorporating video marketing into your email marketing, social media, viral marketing and not to forget your website.When looking for the best way at video marketing, too many marketers just upload their videos to YouTube and cross their fingers, hoping viewers like the content enough to forward on to their friends.

While the practice of posting to YouTube etc certainly has benefits it is far from effective, leaving your video marketing campaigns much more likely to flounder, leaving you wondering was it worth the effort and expense!!

Creative marketers are weaving video into email, website and social media platforms because they can take advantage of the tools that are built into these platforms. For example, many people are already accustomed to sharing links with their friends, so send them a video email or video landing page where they post comments, share,talk about what they have watched. It is a much more engaging experience for the audience than watching a video on YouTube.

Have you ever noticed that you remember a face but not a name? That’s because we are visual learners. The best way to absorb information is via a visual aid. (research suggests over 65% of people absorb information is via motion). The principal advantage that video marketing is that it revolves around allowing you a tailored audience who is more excited about watching than they are about reading content like a static email. These individual consumers will be more open to learning about your product or service via a video presentation than reams of text on a web site.

Successful marketing is all about an emotional response from a customer and providing for that customer’s needs. Text articles and emails, even when beautifully written with pictures, do not provide the same urgency as you will see in a video viewing response. Information can be delivered in a quicker time frame, as little as 20 seconds,in keeping with the shorter attention span of today’s average consumer.

Video is an excellent way to grab a viewers attention quickly and direct them to your business website,blog or social media page thus helping develop a longer relationship with your web site

Forrester Research found that videos were 50 times more likely to receive an organic first page ranking than traditional text pages.

Video Email. Create Video Email Marketing Campaigns: To get your video really noticed, think beyond stand-alone video publishing.

Landing Page with Video

Landing Page with Video

Video marketing is a great way to provide information online like seminars, conferences, product launches, webinars and company updates. A video landing page is a critical component of any video marketing campaign, so, let’s take a closer look at video landing pages, to see how they work and to give you some insights that will drive up your desired results.

When we say ‘video landing page’ we mean the web page where your video is streamed and your key metric is ‘conversion’. For email marketers, the goal is to stimulate the visitor to take some sort of action, lead by an offer or discount.All email marketing takes time and creative energy to drive traffic to your video landing page, so you need a video landing page that delivers! With a little thought, you can take a video landing page template and turn it into your own company branded landing page which will encourage the visitor to take action.

Tips For Branding your Video Landing Page
These tips are a result of looking and monitoring 1000′s video landing pages and these suggestions will assist you in improving any video landing page template.

Tip 1. Reduce the Bounce.
When a visitor lands on your video landing page, they quickly decide if they are going to stay and statistics show they decide within six seconds of hitting your video landing page. It really is an impulse decision, so your lead message and content is critical. The old adage of “you never get a 2^nd chance to make a 1^st impression” comes into play so you need to have,

• an attention grabbing headline that instantly communicates your offer,
• the clickable image (or best frame) that displays before your video is streamed, something that will make the visitor think “ I’ll watch that”, and
• short, snappy messaging that entices the visitor to take action.

Tip 2. Its About the Video
The video landing page is more than another page on your web site. The video is the main actor, taking center stage, so use links and URLs wisely, if they click away too early they might miss the key message in your video, even if they visit your your website it’s unlikely they will return to your video landing page.

So what you say, “I got them to visit my site”, if they visit my web site then they are interested in us,” then you have forgotten about “conversion”. Getting customer conversion is bigger than visitor clicks, so use links and url’s wisely.

Tip 3. Don’t mix and match
The design of your video landing page must be well branded. The key is for a visitor to recognize your brand between email template to video landing page, be consistent.Also when using a video landing page templates, remember to create new landing pages for each video email campaign you run, with matching email templates.

Tip 4. Less is more
You may be tempted to fill up every space with lots of text or messaging to promote your product or offer. Don’t.
Rather, let your video do the talking, be selective with your video landing page design. If some of the text does not reinforce the key video message then take it out!!.

Tip 5. Easy on the eye
Make it easy to read, clear text, short sentences, avoid jargon and too many CAPITALS
Also bullet points are very effective than a long paragraph. Don’t stuff your landing page with paragraphs.

Tip 6. Don’t lose them
So the visitor has viewed the video, seen the offer and is hot to trot, (1) where do they click next (its called the eye-path) and (2) where does this click bring them?

Point 1 is about a nice, easy to see, “Click here” or “Visit Us” tile.

On point 2, the click has to bring them to an action page – sign up, register or purchase. They have had the sales pitch, now give them the product,

Tip 7. Gain trust
Including a physical address and telephone number or even a a link to your privacy policy will increase the trust level of a visitor to your video landing page.

We hope you enjoy these tips and using them will help drive up your conversion rates on your video landing pages in video marketing.
