Deliver Crystal-clear, Engaging Video Messages Instantly With OpenMyVideo

If a well written email is worth a thousand words, then how much is a video message worth?

At OpenMyVideo, we think it’s priceless when it comes to business communications—whether you’re describing a complex service, showing a tour of a beautiful property, or simply wishing your clients and customers happy holidays.

OpenMyVideo is the premier business application for sending video messages.  OpenMyVideo allows business users to create a video message and send it by email, using only a few clicks. This is the ideal communication tool for today’s high-speed, high-distraction business climate. It’s also an easy, fun way to communicate with friends and family.

OpenMyVideo offers three simple ways to craft and deliver a video message:

• Visit www.openmyvideo.com to record your message using the webcam on your PC or laptop.

• Install the OpenMyVideo mobile application on your 3GS iPhone. It’s available from Apple’s AppStore.

“OpenMyVideo’s new iPhone application takes our successful web service and untethers the process of recording a video message,” says Dusty Field, founder of OpenMyVideo. “The iPhone application allows for on-demand, real-time video upload and email.”

Business transactions and  communications can continue seamlessly while users are traveling outside the office and boardroom, adds Field. “With the OpenMyVideo iPhone application, you can speak to your sales team as if you were in the office, you can show the special features of your product from the trade show floor, or you can just send a family update when it’s too late to call home,” Field says.

OpenMyVideo is today’s true on-the-go application that conveys your face, tone, clarity, and urgency of message as clearly as if you were right in front of your client or business partner. The service is simple to use:

Step One: Sign up at www.openmyvideo.com.

Step Two: Download Open My Video Express for your computer. Alternatively, download the mobile application for either iPhone or Blackberry.

Step Three: Record your message on either mobile or webcam, which will instantly upload your video to OpenMyVideo.com and allow you to send the message as an email.

Step Four: Select recipient(s), write text to accompany your video message, select a branded theme for your message background—done!

“Everyone who wants to communicate quickly and effectively should give OpenMyVideo a try,” says marketing contact Dawson Roark. “Your customers will appreciate the personalized touch, your employees will understand your directions, and your competitors will want to know how you did it.”
