Sample 3-touch email sequence
When inviting people to give you employee award videos via email, we recommend a 3-email sequence. Variations of this email sequence have been used successfully in hundreds of video-request campaigns by Vocal Video customers.
The first email in the sequence is a pre-ask – asking if they'd be open to recording a short video testimonial and thanking them in advance. The second email includes the link to the video collector, a brief explanation of the process, the questions they'll be asked to respond to, and some recording tips. The third email in the sequence is a gentle reminder to block out time to record.
Adapt this sequence to your use case, incentives, and your collector's actual questions, and fire away!
Email #1: The Pre-Ask
Subject:
Congratulations on your award!
Congratulations on being selected as a winner of Congratulations on being selected as a winner of a [your organization name] Employee Award! Your story stood out from the crowd, and the entire team was very impressed.
Would you be able to record a short acceptance speech video sometime in the next week? We’re collecting video with a tool called Vocal Video, so it should be very easy and only take 5-10 minutes. The recording can be done from your phone or laptop. We plan to promote your video when we announce the winners.
Please let me know and I’ll send the link and the questions right over.
Thanks so much!
Email #2: The Invitation
Subject:
Your award video
Thanks so much for agreeing to record a short acceptance speech video! We really appreciate it.
Here are the details on recording a video - it should take 5-10 minutes altogether. Just click here to record your video: https://vocalvideo.com/c/vocal-video-impact-of-video-testimonials
The 3 questions that we'd like you to answer are:
1. How does it feel to be a [your organization name] award winner?
2. Could you share a few details about your journey with [your organization name] ?
3. What advice would you give to other [your organization name] employees?
Here are a couple of tips:
1) pick a quiet and well lit place
2) avoid having windows or a light source in the background of your shot since that will create glare
3) look directly at the camera
3) relax and be yourself - you'll do great!
Let me know if you have any questions, and thanks again!
