Texas company introduces breakthrough "do-it-yourself" Video Email marketing tool!

Easily create captivating emails complete with video, text and graphics; powerful marketing without an agency!

Plano, Texas (PRWEB) June 21, 2003 -- 8point Communications of Plano, Texas today announced the release of its ViewMail Marketing System, which allows entrepreneurs and businnesses to create professional-quality video emails in seconds. Combining video, text and graphics, these emails represent a dramatic breakthrough in marketing and communicating over the Internet without the need for an ad agency or Internet expert.

"If you can use a tape recorder, you can use the ViewMail System," said Andy Wilson, chief information officer at 8point. "Click a button, record yourself saying what you want to say, type in some text . . . a 6-year-old can do it."

Until now, video email with HTML elements has been enough of a challenge that very few non-technical people could do it. They've had to pay email ad agencys or Internet professionals to put together video email campaigns for them. Then often the video has been poor. All that has changed with the ViewMail Marketing System.

"Our technology utilizes an advanced video compression technology also used by the military," said Kyle Nelson, 8point's chief marketing officer. "It stores the emails on the users computer rather than streaming them over the Internet. The result is our solution works even over dial-up Internet connections. You don't experience the jerkiness and buffering problems of other solutions." The smooth, clear video works over any Internet connection, at up to 30 frames per second.

Users can choose from ready-made templates with different "looks" to frame their video and text message. They just click to choose one, then record the video, type in the text and send. In addition to generic templates, others are available for special occasions, business presentations and more.

"The ViewMail Marketing System is going to revolutionize how entrepreneurs and small business people communicate to prospects and clients," said Nelson. It's inexpensive, easy, and it obsoletes plain text email marketing. We are convinced this is the next big wave in Internet communications."
