The ability to analyze a campaign’s performance was another reason CSC Worldwide selected video postcards. “Direct mail can get lost in the cluer, is harder to track and does not offer the immediate results we get from video postcards,” Bobbi remarked.

While each CSC Worldwide video postcard focused on a specific markeng or sales iniave, all the video postcards had the same look and feel. CSC Worldwide was able to easily create video postcards using the FLIMP Plaorm’s drag and drop creave editor. Each video postcard concept included a unique piece of audiovisual content, typically slideshows set to music. Addionally, by using video postcards, CSC Worldwide was able to include very specific calls to acon, such as request a brochure or contact us. “I entered this with high hopes that we would make an impression on some key customers we were working to close business with. It was great to watch the stascs roll in and to see that the plan worked. Not only were they watching once, but mulple mes, somemes weeks apart,” Bobbi said. “It is fun to make video postcards and the Plaorm offers endless creavity and opportunies to make an impression.” Each video postcard was distributed by email. CSC Worldwide sent flimp emails using both the built-in FlimpMail one- to-one email tool and the Publicaster ESP. Regarding the campaigns’ perfor- mances, Bobbi noted that “the results were immediate and energec.” According to data collected by Flimp’s viewer analycs for seven separate campaigns, the average CSC Worldwide video postcard generated an open rate between 11 and 24%, while the email click through rate ranged from 33 to 74%. The average flimp video length was 1 minute, 15 seconds. The average amount of video viewed by each viewer was 1 minute, 25 seconds. Over 20 hours of video were viewed across the seven campaigns. CSC Worldwide believes it is very cost effecve to create a video postcard. “The cost per impression is very reasonable, especially when you know you are in front of a potenal client and you didn’t need to book a flight or request a meeng,” Bobbi shared. “If you could pay under $2.00 to be in front of a potenal client for a few minutes, wouldn’t you?” Flimp Media Inc. allows direct email marketers to communicate more effecvely with video postcards.
