Video E-mail Software provides the ability to embed videos into e-mails or provide a hyperlink for access by compressing the video file. This avoids the problem of sending video messages as attachments. Video attachments are typically too large for most people to receive or send. Also, most people will not open attachments to avoid the possibility of infecting their computer with a virus. This method of sending video e-mails means that they are more likely to be seen by those intended to view the videos.

There are several Video E-mail Software programs on the market and one of them is Videogram Creator. This program allows someone to create a video from previously recorded video files and compress them into an HTML format that is easy to send and receive. When the embedded video E-mail is opened it appears like any webpage. This is computer friendly and user friendly as well.

Another Video E-mail Software program is called VMDirect. It allows the sender to upload the video to their server. When the person receives the Video E-mail, they are provided with a link that takes them to the video message on the VMDirect server. This avoids having to compress the video to embed in e-mails to be able to be received by those that are targeted for receipt. This is especially useful if the video is still too large even after being compressed.

Video E-mail Software can be used by an individual to send video e-mail to clients or potential customers. There are many people who want the ability to send videos by e-mail, especially those that want to control access to their videos. The big advantage with this software is that compresses the video into a small packet of data that allows most everyone to open it. Business uses of Video E-mail software include:

• Announcements of new products
• Announcements of new benefit programs and how to apply for the programs
• Announcements of newly acquired business ventures to employees
• Human Relations internal position announcements
• Announcements of employee promotions
• Holiday greetings from CEO to employees
• Happy Birthday greetings to employees from company president
  

Video E-mails are becoming a very popular method of sending direct mail marketing over the Internet.  This software program is primarily used by the marketing industry to send videos to people for what ever they are trying to sell. Basically this is a new twist on telemarketing that relied on the telephones. The advent of National and State Do-Not-Call Lists caused the marketing industry to seek alternatives ways of getting their message out.
