[Podcast] Episode 015: How to use video in email with Jay Moore
By Tom Tate March 29, 2016
Video in email. It’s a thing. You can’t ignore it.
Well, you can ignore it, but I wouldn’t recommend that. 🙂
Successfully implementing video in your email campaigns can yield higher open rates, and a ton of clicks from your subscribers. If you’ve been looking for a new way to stand out in the inbox, this is the episode for you.
Concerned about the whole “creating a video” part? No need to worry – producing video has become incredibly accessible and affordable these days. Do you have an iPhone? Great, you’re equipped to record video!
To dive deep into this topic, and help equip you with the tools you need to test and optimize video in email, I’ve recruited our in-house education guru (and video specialist), Jay Moore. He’s been running a successful webinar series on this topic, so he shared a few key points.
In this episode you’ll learn:
- Why you should test video in your emails
- How to effectively use video in your emails
- What types of videos you should create
- Various tools and software for creating video on a budget
You don’t want to miss this.

Thanks for simplifying the process, and for the great resources. I’d recently received an email about using video in email, and it was using a cloud based service. I came on over here because I KNEW Aweber would have the perfect solution. Glad I did.
Not sure if I’ve missed it and will certainly go look, but would love to see a video/podcast on your latest campaigns feature. Though a techie, I still don’t get it. 🙁
Thanks
Trish

If you test out video and have success – let me know! I’d love to talk about it on the show. We actually had a great planning session this morning on some ways we can provide some education around Campaigns and our latest features. Looking forward to putting out some multimedia content to help you tap into its potential.
We’re all super excited. Thanks for listening!
