ACI Drove 170% Higher Open Rates for their Presidential Email Series with Video

The American Concrete Institute (ACI) is intentional about making sure that their membership community regularly hears from their organization’s president in a series of emails throughout the year. To make the series more engaging and impactful, ACI incorporates authentic video content from the president into each email. And by using Video Relationship Management (VRM) software, creating these videos is simple, fast, and cost-efficient. And the strategy paid off. By letting their subscribers know to expect a video by including the word “Video” in the subject line, open rates improved by 170%.
