They\u2019re sent without permission and from an unknown email address.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The moment you open a cold email, you get bludgeoned with information &#8211; a product pitch from a company, a massive price drop email alert or an insurance plan for a vehicle that you don\u2019t even own.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>To sum it up, cold emails are just like it\u2019s name &#8211; <strong>Cold<\/strong>. It\u2019s not personal, and it\u2019s easy to figure out that it was sent to tonnes of other people.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Alright, I hope you\u2019re with me till here.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Now, let\u2019s turn the table <em>slightly.<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div id=\"head0\" class=\"cta_tab\"><h2>What if you\u2019ve to send cold emails? <\/h2><\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>I mean, you have to write an email and send it to a bunch of people who don\u2019t know you and have not engaged with you before.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Now, before you think that it\u2019s a bad idea to send cold emails, let me throw some light on this subject. Even in the year 2020, the <strong>conversion rate from cold email is <a href=\"https:\/\/dailyblogging.org\/internet-marketing\/cold-email-statistics\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/dailyblogging.org\/internet-marketing\/cold-email-statistics\/\">15.11%<\/strong><\/a>. This means that a fair amount of conversation gets triggered based on the cold emails sent to people.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>But, didn\u2019t we just say that it\u2019s an information overload for the reader and not very useful?<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Yes, but that doesn\u2019t necessarily mean that you follow the same route. If you want to make your cold emails interesting and impactful, it\u2019s time to walk on a different path.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>You can only do so much with words in your email. Adding videos with a personal message can go a long way in grabbing the attention of your audience.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Before sending your emails, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.findymail.com\/email-verifier\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">use an email verifier<\/a> to ensure your messages reach the right people, reducing bounce rates and increasing your chances of engagement.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>However, making videos can be expensive, time-consuming, and difficult to use. This is where <strong>Vmaker <\/strong>comes into the picture.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Vmaker is a very simple tool that helps you to record your screen, and your face with the help of a webcam simultaneously. You can make unlimited screen videos, download and share it with others via emails to start a video communication.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Here\u2019s an introductory <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/-rd95K7szSE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">video<\/a> on how Vmaker works<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Alright, there are a lot of reasons why you should try Vmaker, but here are the top three that can add spark to your cold sales emails:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Bonus Read:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vmaker.com\/video-emails\">How to send a videos through email?<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<div id=\"head1\" class=\"cta_tab\"><h2>More personalization to cold sales emails<\/h2><\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Addressing an email to the recipient personally is a great idea. Including their name in the subject line can bump your <strong>open rate by 22%<\/strong>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>However, when you\u2019re WRITING an email, too much personalization can make the content lengthy and boring.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Videos make it easy to add more personalization. Instead of just typing their name, you can call out their name. And, while you do that they can see your face too which makes the video even more interesting.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>With Vmaker, you can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vmaker.com\/screen-recorder\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.vmaker.com\/screen-recorder\">record the screen<\/a>, and your face and even annotate to highlight smaller details.

On average, people spend <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wyzowl.com\/video-marketing-statistics-2020\/\">16 hours a week<\/a> watching videos because it is more interactive and engaging.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Vmaker allows you to take advantage of this trend. With Vmaker, you don\u2019t need a studio or an expensive set-up to start making videos.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Your webcam and laptop are all that are needed.

You can also improve the audio quality and fine-tune them even after you have hit the record button.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Takeaway<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Cold emails are here to stay. They have been around for some time and even now, they\u2019re helpful for starting conversations.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>What has changed is the way people interact with content today. People have shifted their interest from text-heavy emails to a more engaging medium like videos. If you&#8217;re someone who still wants to stick with cold emails then instead of typing one you can use <strong>cold sales email templates<\/strong> and then combine them with a video.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>With Vmaker, you can make videos which are personal and more engaging for the reader to consume. This will give you a higher click-through rate and better performance from cold email campaigns.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>At Animaker, we engage the power of <strong>Vmaker<\/strong>. We\u2019re constantly trying to be more creative in our emails and Vmaker has played a pivotal role in our endeavor so far.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Instead of boring our customers with long emails, we use Vmaker to make screen recordings.
