I’ve been working the web long enough to remember a time when video wasn’t part of the Internet scene.  The problem back in the 90’s was that the bandwidth could barely support graphics, much less stream video.  Dialup connections were simply too slow to make video part of the online equation in the early days of the WWW.  That all changed in the new millennium as dialup gave way to DSL connections.  Even that took a few years to become affordable to the masses.  But once most everyone had access to high speed connections, video became a major game changer.  Or, did it?

Want to get your message to the masses? Looking for a cost effective way to create leads and sales?  Why not try sending a video via email? While you can’t actually embed videos in every email, you can attach them to online newsletters such as Constant Contact.

With billions of videos being watched online monthly, it seems logical that businesses will want to maximize the marketing potential of video in such areas as email, newsletters, blogs and social networks.  What’s even better is the fact that a number of popular platforms are adding ways for their users to put a  movie in every emailbox.
