Make your emails eyecatching with unexpected moving pictures

This little hack can make your marketing emails really stand out. In an email, it is not possible to embed a video that plays automatically. However, it is possible to embed an animated gif – really all is is a series of still gif images playing in sequence. There is no sound. So it is not a true video – but it can create a striking feature for your email. Any you could always put a clickable link on the image that takes the reader to a video file, possibly on YouTube. So how did I quickly and easily create this animate gif.

Stage 1 – Shoot a short video and create the animated gif. So I used this tool https://www.gifpal.com

Stage 2 – I then wanted to edit the image, there was a watermark in the bottom right-hand corner. I used a too called Ezgif   https://ezgif.com  crop to do this. There are a heap of other edits you can easily make.

Stage 3 – Host the animated gif online. I just uploaded it to my WordPress Media Library. And from there I can use the link to embed the image wherever I like.
