This Header Will Self-Destruct In 3…2…

Relax, it’s not really going to self-destruct and your computer’s not going to go up in a puff of smoke! Since I have your attention, here’s a quick question: What do U.S. Congressman Anthony Weiner and NBC’s To Catch a Predator host Chris Hansen have in common? If you answered spouses who are appalled by their behavior, you’re half right.

The other answer is that they should have availed themselves of our video messaging service’s self-destruct function before sending … ahem… “art images” of themselves to other women this past summer.

Wouldn’t it be nice to have a fail-safe in place when you make a mistake (or otherwise embarrass yourself and your company in front of lots of people during your video marketing campaign?) mailVU offers that protection within our online video platform.

Self-destruct for your videos can be implemented in a few different ways:

• Set your video to end after a certain number of views – Don’t want sensitive information floating around in perpetuity? Cancel it after a few views.

• Set it to delete after a certain number of days – Have a limited time offer? Make the video available only for a few days.

• Remove it after it’s been sent – Realize you made an error in your video after it’s been sent? With mailVU, you can recall it instantly!

With the first two options, be sure to let your recipients know that the video will only be available for a brief time. Your interoffice or training videos can’t be spread all over the Internet if you set them to be viewed on a restricted basis. Your business can make deeply discounted product offers available for a short time to valued customers via video email.

Try out each option free! If you want more options for your business, such as a video messaging template with logo branding, try the Business Plan. It’s loaded with features designed to enhance your company’s video marketing.

(Oh, and rethink the art photos. No matter how much someone begs you to send them, is that really the image you want out there? ; )
