We were recently asked how to send video by email. As many of you know this site is operated from our online marketing consultancy firm where we have been using video as our main method for communication, product and consultancy for several years now and it rocks.

The main reasons for this are that clearly separates us from our competitors as its engaging, it’s memorable, it’s quick to do and it’s also simple.

When we initially worked out how to send video by email we had little doubt that it would make a huge impact to our bottom line. By sending a video email you instantly create a bond with the recipient and can guarantee that there will be zero misinterpretation of your message.

At the beginning there were of course several hurdles we had to over come. Size, format, speed of creation. It’s simple to figure out how to attach a video – that’s easy, but after testing it we realized that not everybody was watching them. We needed a better solution, we wanted to actually embed video in the email itself. When we tried to figure out how to do this we realized we had to learn how compress video for email and after a few attempts realized that this would take too far long to use a daily tool, its not sustainable and depending on the recipients operating system would depend on the best format to compress for any way, and seeing this was an unknown quantity we were on to a false start.

We then found several sites offering to do this service for us – Voxlite, oovoo and EyeJot – The latter being by far the best one. If you are looking to send videos through email then EyeJot is by far the best solution we have found out on the market at the moment. It offered every thing we wanted to do to the T. Simply create an account for free, hit record, enter in your recipient’s email address and hit send.

We almost skipped them as the site does look a little patchy and rough around the edges however we chose them over the other better looking more expensive options down to one specifi feature – you can specifically embed video in email. All of the other sites sent a screen grab of the opening vido where as EyeJot embedded the video right in to the body of the email message.

So if your looking for the best video email there is no doubt that we recommend (At this stage of course) EyeJot

Potential customers will use Google Hotpot to connect with their friends and family  to find out the right places to go near to them by simply searching for a local based service.

Users will log on, locate themselves and then use social based recommendations to find a solution to their need. People will then naturally give their rating or opinion  of your service.

So where does this leave you? How can you lever it? How can you protect yourself ?

Well first things first, if Twitter didn’t make you improve on customer service then google hotpot certainly should.

The web has changed and there is ever more ‘power to the people’ then before.

Make sure to keep your customers happy or run the risk of having more negative exposure than ever before.

There are a few simple ways of using google Hotpot to benefit your business to not only gain more publicity but also as a mechanism to engage with your customers.

Publish

Publish your business first. That way you can control whats up there from the outset and you can use this space to  upload quality photographs, sneaky marketing materials  and special offers about you and your company.

Promote

One of the major benefits of the using sites like Google hotpot or any social based web 2.0 site is the ability to generate multi rankings in the search engines. Google Hotpot wont be any different and you can guarantee that not before long, keyword optimized listings will rank well in the search engines giving you more free exposure to your brand  and you can start taking traffic from your competitors in one foul swoop.

Make sure to get a “Recommended on Google” sticker for your window or create some internal promotional materials to publicize your listing.  Pinching some of Google’s authority isn’t going to do you any harm after all…

Connect

Make sure to find local people already using the service that you can connect with. They will soon look you up if you do, and if you have done your listing properly they will give you positive ratings (in return for some incentive of course).Use their ‘Add Friends Feature’ to get started.

Lead

Don’t wait for them to write a review, encourage them to do so. Simply run a special special discount offer for anyone that writes a review about your brand. Maybe put something on the receipt, the menu or your business card that contains a clear and simple call to action to go and rate your listing.

Listen

Don’t get angry if people do write a negative comment. Look at this as a blessing and improve on whats been said. Offer the user a free gift to amend the situation and encourage them then to write a more positive review about you.

Optimize

The results do not display alphabetically, create a listing, then create a second one for another business. Compare the rankings and tweak accordingly to make sure you can get to pole position. We are running tests on this as we speak and will publish our findings as soon as we have solid data to gain an opinion from.

All in all it’s yet another great tool from google that you can use to save money and increase marketing channels.
