It’s 2023 and if you’re still relying solely on traditional text-based email marketing, you’re missing out on a massive opportunity to engage with your audience. The rapidly evolving digital landscape demands more interactive and engaging content, bringing video email marketing to the fore. Essentially, video email marketing is the incorporation of videos into your email marketing campaigns. It holds extreme value in its dynamism, offering a great route for optimizing subscriber engagement and conversion. This article is designed to be an inform-all, do-all guide to help you unlock the transformative powers of video email marketing.
The sheer power of video marketing is undeniable. Statistics show that users are more likely to engage and retain messages from videos than from reading text, and more likely to share, comment, and make a purchase after watching an engaging video. Stepping into the era of Video Marketing 2.0 means it’s time to replace those text-heavy email newsletters with compelling video content.
Creativity is limitless when using videos in email marketing. Demonstrations or “how-to” videos can simplify the understanding of a product or service. Showcasing your offerings in a compelling video significantly strengthens product promotion. Videos are also an effective way to share your organization’s emotions during celebrations, holidays, and events.
Creating high-quality video content that resonates with your audience needs careful crafting. A well-told story shrouded in quality production has a profound impact on subscriber engagement. The focus should be on delivering value in the shortest possible time, preferably within the first ten seconds, as user attention spans continue to shrink.
Despite its benefits, video email marketing comes with a set of potential challenges. Video file size, loading speed, and differing email client protocols must be carefully negotiated to ensure the viewer receives an optimal experience. Employing techniques like optimized file compression, thumbnail embedding, and using email marketing platforms that support video content can help overcome these challenges.
Case studies such as that of Patagonia, the outdoor apparel giant, show how video email marketing, when done right, can drive engagement and sales. Their impactful video campaign about ethical sourcing and manufacturing of their products led to a surge in brand affinity and increased online sales.
The future of video email marketing is promising. With advancements in Artificial Intelligence and Augmented Reality, we can anticipate a more immersive and personalized video email marketing experience.

Up until working with Casey, we had only had poor to mediocre experiences outsourcing work to agencies. Casey & the team at CJ&CO are the exception to the rule.
Communication was beyond great, his understanding of our vision was phenomenal, and instead of needing babysitting like the other agencies we worked with, he was not only completely dependable but also gave us sound suggestions on how to get better results, at the risk of us not needing him for the initial job we requested (absolute gem).
This has truly been the first time we worked with someone outside of our business that quickly grasped our vision, and that I could completely forget about and would still deliver above expectations.
I honestly can't wait to work in many more projects together!
