I’ve tried using GIFs to catch attention, but I’m wondering if they really boost conversions. Videos seem great for showcasing products but can slow down emails.
Both can be effective, but try to be mindful about file size as videos or even gifs that are too large can slow loadtimes, causing clipping, and overall have an adverse affect on deliverability.
GIFs are effective in email marketing. They can capture attention quickly and convey messages more effectively than plain text. If the videos are kept short and limited to 1 minute, they would also be effective and great.
