Why reinvent Google?

The answer is simple, don’t! Every theme created in your OpenMyVideo.com account works with Google Analytics. We treat every theme like a unique web page and give you the best tools to analyze your traffic. Here’s how it works:

1. When creating a theme enter your Google Analytics account number (it looks like UA-XXXXXXX)

Google Analytics on OpenMyVideo.com

2. Now login to your google analytics account:

3. On the left select “content”

Google Analytics Content

4. Drill down into Site Content / Landing Pages

The power of Google Analytics connected to every theme. Sure, we give you the basic CLICK, OPENS, and DELIVERIES…and a whole bunch more!

OpenMyVideo.com is more than video in email, it’s a tool to build your brand, business, and develop relationship with customers from the first day they watch your video. Call us to learn how to use video in email and send video messages.

Video Email – “Our themes are better than their templates!”

Why OpenMyVideo vs. [Insert other video email platform]

FIRST
We offer a simple branded email with your logo, colors and video. When a recipient clicks on your video they are directed to a completely branded THEME. Our themes are better than their templates. A theme has your logo, colors, background, additional videos, images, links, text, contact info, social media info, phone number, and any type of “call to action” link you can think up.

Every OpenMyVideo subscriber gets access to the theme creator. We don’t charge a white label fee, or a design fee, or a setup fee. We simply give YOU the tools to build something cool, custom, with all your content. Content is king.

SECOND
We are NOT a multi-level-marketing company (MLM), or an affiliate company. We don’t care about downlines or right leg vs left leg. We don’t require you to read a comprehensive compensation plan, and we won’t send ANYTHING to your contacts. We are a video marketing platform for businesses that want to use video as a part of their marketing and selling strategies. You don’t have to be an associate to use our platform. If you refer customers to us we are forever grateful. Don’t get me wrong, we want you to tell people about our platform, but we hope it’s because you LOVE our service and OMV helps you create more cash in your own business.

THIRD
We LOVE YouTube and Vimeo they are awesome, but their not the best platforms for business video. Free is good but that old saying is very true, “you get what you pay for!” Imagine – spending several thousand dollars to create a super-awesome video, it’s perfect and describes your product or service beautifully. Then you post your masterpiece on YouTube, and tag your video with all the right keywords. The very next day your ideal customer finds your video and watches it to completion, after your video’s finished, in the very same window or maybe off the left, right or down below…your competitors video shows up. Nope, not with OpenMyVideo, it’s your content, on your branded page, with your info to direct the viewer right where you want them to go!

FORTH
I’ll stop. It’s simple. Our plans are more affordable, with more features.

We are a sales organization first and a tech-company second. Our functions and features are designed for business-minded companies that want more than just a social surge. Integrate OMV into your sales process and you’ll be using the most innovative and effective prospecting and selling tools available.

OpenMyVideo.com updates

It’s been a while since our last update. Here’s why…

In December, we had massive downloads of our free iPhone/iPad app for OpenMyVideo. This was both good and bad: It was great for exposure, but the enormous surge in video traffic slowed down our service. So we’re reacting by tightening our focus.

Since 2008 we have tried to accommodate both consumer and commercial users. It’s not easy to please both. Many companies operating today in our space are funded by investor groups; as a result, they have the bandwidth and capital to support thousands, if not millions, of free users. We are NOT that company. Sure, it feels good to provide a cool free tool or service—and those surges in download numbers make us happy. But without long-term capital, it’s not easy to support a freemium business model. Our iPhone application was free and now it’s not. We did this to reduce the number of free users so that our business customers get priority service.

We are truly that small business that everyone is talking about—the business selling its way to success. Our product is innovative. It’s strongly differentiated from our competitors. We strive to help businesses communicate in a new and effective way.

What is our ideal customer? It’s pretty simple: We serve clients who value sending more than a simple text email message. We know how tough it is to win over new clients and customers. To get that tough prospect to respond. To close that big deal. To nuture strong business relationships.

It’s our goal to give professionals a leg up on the competition. Our system is ideal for businesses that are expanding their brand, want to offer exceptional customer-service while increasing sales, and need a system to target new business and prospect more effectively.

We choose to focus on business and commercial customers, and we have taken the necessary steps to ensure that the quality of service is available to them when they need it. To that end, we’ve made further upgrades to OpenMyVideo.

Themes
This is your branded template. Design a custom theme to match your brand.

• Theme cloning—as easy as cut-and-paste to copy a theme
• Toggle on/off the B-Roll—control the supporting video and images in your theme
• Sleek look—browser background is clean and neat (we removed the OpenMyVideo upper navigation and OMV background
• Increased flexibility—you can now change the color of the background box in the email message
• Quicker theme choice—quickly pick a default theme from your library

Encoding
This is the background process that makes your video playable on a wide range of mobile devices. You don’t have to worry about encoding, but take it from us: it’s complicated. We’re on top of it, though—more so than our competitors. Now our encoding is even stronger. We have…

• Fixed the flash capture process, which improved speed of encoding
• Added encoding for Android devices
• Reduced the encoding queue so videos are ready for sending faster

In General

We changed the sending engine email address from “donotreply@openmyvideo.com” to “videoemail@openmyvideo.com.”

Now, when you send video email with OpenMyVideo, your recipients can reply to the message directly. The reply will be sent to the email address you list in the account profile.

We at OpenMyVideo are excited about these changes. We look forward to serving our clients with an even stronger, faster video emailing system. Feel free to ask questions at info@openmyvideo.com.

Welcome to OpenMyVideo

Hey hey,

Welcome to OpenMyVideo. We think you’re here because you downloaded our iPhone and iPad app–if that’s the case, thank you.

We wanted to write you with the full list of what you get for the next 30 days–because it’s a lot more than just a mobile video app.

[BTW, we have videos that show you everything that is written below. If you're a “watcher,” stop reading here and just watch the videos below.]

Ah, you’re a “reader”? Here’s the deal. For 30 days you get…

iPhone application that allows you to send and share up to 3 minutes of video per send. Keep reading to learn some helpful tips and tricks.

Record videos directly from your computer’s web cam, or upload a video file from a PC, then send your video. Send video emails while you’re test-driving the service over the next 30 days. If you need more, call us!

• Access to the Video Library, where you can upload videos to store, send, and share.

• The Theme Creator, your tool for building a branded web page featuring your content. Use this customized space to share videos, images, links, social info, and attachments. This is your branded landing page, wrapped with your logo, backgrounds, and imagery.

• Address book–upload your contacts in a couple of clicks and easily send them video emails. Group your contacts for effective video email campaigns. (Just make sure to create the group first, then upload your contacts into the right group.)

• Two options for analytics: basic analytics built-in and Google Analytics integrated into our Theme Creator. Just add your Google Analytics ID to your theme. When you login to Google Analytics, you will see your OpenMyVideo traffic and visitors. Use analytics to track the effectiveness of your campaigns.

Get Going

Still with me? Cool! So you’ve got a little bit of setup to make our system work for YOU. Get going! If you build a theme, record a decent video, blast it out to your people, you will see results. Our video email open rates are more than 25% higher than standard text-based email messages. Get the facts.

Our blog has all the FAQs, but if you need us, just email help@openmyvideo.com. Tell us what we’re doing right–and especially tell us what we’re doing WRONG. We are in the business of helping your business. If you have suggestions or issues about OpenMyVIdeo, email kendall@openmyvideo.com. Keen-eye Kendall is a stickler for details, so tell him the type of computer you use, the browser, the file type of your video, any details that will help us troubleshoot.

A Few Final Notes

Mobile video – first off, it’s complicated. We encode (fancy word for format) for iPad, iPhone, Blackberry, Android, and all types of browsers. Our iPhone app works best when you send videos that have been previously recorded to your video/photo gallery. We offer a record “on-the-fly” option, but many different factors can affect upload. We’d rather you film with the standard camera application that comes with the iPhone and use our application to send your video. Frankly, mobile and wi-fi networks can time-out, calls can get dropped–things can be beyond our control. But if you record with the standard camera app, you will save a video locally that you can send using OMV when you’re ready!

Check it out…there are many cool tricks to learn. Forget about the trial, I want an account now!
