The video will play directly inside of the message and you can embed a whole other host of rich media, be it articles, surveys, polls, gifs, you have it… Not only does it actually look better – so it’s more eye-catching – but it actually has real meaning.Ĭreating a rich and fun experience beyond quality aesthetics and an intuitive user experience is an excellent way to break through the noise whether engaged in cold outreach, or finding your product market fit. That’s trivial to do you can do it with a slash command in Mixmax. How can you send a message that really engages someone? A wonderful way, as an example to engage someone is embedding a video in a message. This goes to the core issue of email as a medium being so dry. Sometimes, no matter how powerful the new features or value proposition are, adopting a new product is simply replacing one stale solution for another.
