An often talked about but seldom used technique for increasing click rates on emails is to add video. There are more than a few ways to do this, but the three easiest ARE:
1. Adding a thumbnail with a play button linked to a video hosted on Youtube or some other online video platform.
2. Adding an animated gif from the video linked to the actual video hosted on another online video platform.
3. Using an email marketing platform such as What Counts Professional.
