Unleashing the Power within Email and Video Marketing
In my career as a creative director at Envy Creative, I’ve learned a thing or two about the role of video marketing and email strategy in maximizing a brand’s reach. It’s not only about crafting beautiful images or producing high-quality video content, it’s also crucial to connect with your audience through strategic and carefully planned campaigns.
1. Personalization: Speak Their Language
One of the first strategies I adopted was personalizing our video content and emails to cater to our audience’s needs and interests. This was after working on a significant project early in my career where the client insisted on generic messaging, resulting in low engagement with the target audience. The takeaway? Your audience wants to feel known, understood, and valued. Use name personalization, demographic targeting, and behavioral data to make your content speak directly to them.
2. Creative Subject Lines: First Impressions Matter
I hold a strong stance on the power of first impressions in marketing. An exciting experience I recall is when I took the email marketing reins for a new product launch. We tested multiple subject lines and discovered that the more creative we were, the higher our open rates were. The subject line is your opportunity to make a first impression, so make it catchy, relevant and engaging.
3. Integrate Video Content in Emails: Engage and Inform
Early in my stint at Envy Creative, we noticed a surge in engagement when we started incorporating video content into our email campaigns. Videos not only capture attention but also deliver your message more effectively. This strategy is beneficial for product demonstrations, testimonials, or any campaign with a lot of information that needs to be digested quickly. And don’t worry about the technical aspects of video production; that’s what our experienced team is here for!
4. Mobile-first Design: Reach Them where They Are
With most people checking their emails and watching videos on their mobile devices, it’s crucial to consider mobile-first design. This shift became apparent to me when I was on vacation, observing my husband unconsciously checking his emails and YouTube on his phone. It suddenly struck me how the modern consumer behavior had evolved, emphasizing the need for mobile-focused marketing.
5. Testing and Evaluating: The Critical Final Touch
The fifth and final strategy is one I learned the hard way but has shaped my approach to every project since. You see, we spent weeks designing a full-blown email campaign: Gorgeous videos, innovative designs, the works. But when we launched, the response was lukewarm. The culprit? We hadn’t tested it enough, nor had we evaluated our approach based on analytics. So remember, never skip this final step. Test your videos. Experiment with your email design and layout. Use analytics to evaluate your strategies and make the necessary adjustments.
