Why use video email marketing?

Succeeding as a coach, it’s all about the connection you have with your audience.

People buy from people they Know, Like, and Trust.

They don’t buy from logos or brand statements. They buy from real people like you.

In a pandemic-centered (soon to be post-pandemic I’m praying) world, it’s imperative that you make the most of every opportunity to form and solidify your connection with your tribe.

Doing so means consistent money in the bank.

Today, I’m digging into the best video email marketing tools for coaches.

If you’ve never thought about using video inside your emails or as another level of email marketing, it’s time.

The three platforms I’m reviewing are BombBomb, Bonjoro, and Vidyard.

This post was requested by one of my subscribers, Kricket Harrison of Smart Success Inc. If you have a software, platform, or plugin you would like for me to review, leave me a comment below.

I have to admit, I’d heard about video emails a couple of years ago, however I never actually considered it.

I felt it would be too expensive. WRONG wrong answer

And that it would be too cumbersome or clunky to send. WRONG wrong answer

Or that no one would even see it because of how providers like Gmail “select” which emails actually get into your inbox (instead of the promo tab). Totally WRONG again. wrong answer

It was very eye-opening for me as I researched these video email platforms.

Before I dive deeper, here’s my pick for the platform that will work best for my business.

Bonjoro

Bonjoro is made for Transformational Specialists like you and me. Especially if you use a task-based CRM (Customer Relation Management software) like Active Campaign, Ontraport, or Infusionsoft by Keap.

  • Ease of use to record and send a personalize video
  • Users reported high engagement from recipients
  • Free plan that may do everything you need

Since you know my choice, let’s look at the other two.

I’ll go into more detail about Bonjoro later in this post.

 

Vidyard

Vidyard is best for enterprise sales teams and marketing departments who want to add a personal touch to their email outreach.

The platform has a native integration with Hubspot and also integrates with Salesforce Pardot and Infusionsoft by Keap.

You can easily create your video from your desktop using their Chrome extension. Which can be shared using the system-generated link they provide.

BombBomb

 

I thought that BombBomb would have been my choice from the beginning. Alas, it wasn’t, but it is still my runner up.

BombBomb’s main focus is the real estate, mortgage, and automotive markets.

These markets depend on personal engagement, which makes BombBomb the perfect solution for them.

BombBomb is built to accelerate the sales process while allowing you to personalize your interaction with your prospects.

They make it super easy to email and add your personalized video while writing an email at the same time.

Two of their key features are the Gmail app and Chrome extension which make sending a video email run-of-the-mill.

Bonjoro

Happy CarolOK, we’re finally here. My total fav!

Bonjoro is made for us Transformation Specialists.

Here’s why:

  • It integrates with the services you use as a coach: Active Campaign, Infusionsoft by Keap, Ontraport, ConvertKit, and Zapier
  • You can create a new video or upload an existing video
  • Send videos to individuals or to groups
  • Create in the app or via the Chrome desktop extenaion
  • Track interactions in real-time

One of the features that got me is the ability to connect Bonjoro with tools that I already use. That way, I don’t have to reinvent the wheel and it can fit neatly into what I’m already doing as an enhancement.

Bonjoro is a task-based system that uses trigger to initiate actions.

And since I’m a task-based, trigger-using kind of girl, you know I’m in love.

They even provide you with a 35-page playbook filled with examples of how their customers are using video in their business. You can get it for free and no email required.
