emailEven with all the technological advances in computer technology in recent years, you cannot embed a Flash animation in an email blast. Typically, most email programs will not allow the embedding of an executable file like a swf in the body of an html email. This is good for the most part because it's yet another way to be smacked with a virus.

A time honored and easy way around this is to place a still frame from the animation in your html file and link it to an online version of the animation. Viola' there is your animation or video clip. It lives on your server and is easily linked to from your email, and can be re-purposed for your marketing or blog.

If you have an idea for an email blast that includes a video clip or animation we can put it together for you & help you send it out. We use a service called Vertical Response to send emails because it's affordable, easy to set up and manages the mailing list for you. Plus there are no monthly fees.
