Working With Clients

Send Project Updates via Custom Video Instead of Plain Old Emails

Communication is an easy way to stand out with clients.

But written messages often lack context.

Especially when it comes to sharing project updates.

So instead of sending an email to update clients on progress, record a custom video walking them through what you’ve done instead.

There’s plenty of low and zero-cost tools that can do this:

- Loom
- Tella
- SnagIt

And for many people…

Recording a video is actually faster and easier than writing out a polished email.

A personal touch like this goes a long way in client relationships.
