Have you ever been to a sales pitch where it seemed like the speaker just droned on and on? After a while the meeting most likely became boring and you may have even found yourself nodding off. Smart companies realize that using video is much more interesting than reading long emails. We will use an example of a different kind of video presentation to show how video will help set more appointments.
Take for instance a company that sells timeshare units. When potential buyers come in to hear a sales pitch, they do not just listen to a sales rep but instead watch a video first. Instead of numbers and a boring sales pitch, the video showcases happy couples and families enjoying their vacations at a variety of perfect locations across the country. After the potential buyers have their interest piqued, the sales pitch comes after. The point is, the people who attend the sales pitch stay engaged and interested instead of checking their watch to see how much longer they have to stay. Now what if you could use that same type of engagement in an email to set more appointments?
vidREACH Reach Creates Engagement
The new vidREACH Reach shows video questions asked to prospects and recipients can immediately reply to tailored questions and/or schedule a meeting to learn more. In fact, vidREACH Reach replaces 500 written words with a commercial that is just 30 seconds long. This makes the marketing campaign intriguing, interesting, and engaging while bringing your campaign to life. In fact, you are able to record your own campaign content with a video that is personalized and an email that has questioned specifically tailored to the recipient. And if you are wondering if the email will attract attention, don’t worry because the recipient’s email has a personalized message and a snapshot of the video to get them interested and eager to take a further look.
