It’s unlikely we’ll ever see a true video email.
Bandwidth and security constraints make it almost impossible to embed a video player in the body of an email message.
But we can send emails that contain an animated gif file – like the one below – that link to a video that starts playing automatically.
I’d appreciate it if you’d try it out.
Click the play button above to watch the short video, then send me an email to tell me what you think – about the video and the podcast.
“What podcast?” you say? Well, you’ll have to watch the 1:47 video to find out!
Thanks in advance for your feedback.

P.S. This blog post was repurposed from an email I sent that had the animated gif above embedded in the message window, linked to the same video landing page. That email generated the highest click-through rate – by far – that I have ever experienced in 20+ years of email marketing.
