LISTING VIDEO IN EMAIL
Email campaigns: putting a listing video in front of your list
Email is still one of the most direct ways an agent reaches past clients, a sphere of contacts and buyers who signed up for alerts, but most email programs do not play video inside the message. The common approach is a still image of the home with a play symbol that opens the video on a page where it is hosted, such as your website or a video channel. ListingVideosAI gives you the finished video from your listing photos to host wherever you choose. Commercial email also comes with consent and unsubscribe rules in many places, and for any format need tied to an email tool, contact support@listingvideosai.com before ordering.
ListingVideosAI does not send campaigns or host video; you choose the email tool and the page the video lives on.
One listing video uses up to 20 photos.

From listing photos to a just-listed email
- 01
Choose photos for a reader at a desk or on a phone
Email readers have opted in, so they will give the home a little more attention. Choose the exterior, the main living spaces, the kitchen, the primary bedroom and the outdoor area, plus the one detail that makes the home recognizable.
- 02
Set up the listing and upload
Create a listing and upload your photos, up to 20, as JPEG, PNG or WebP. If the photographer is still delivering, your saved uploads wait for you.
- 03
Confirm, review and build the email
Pick the single video or a plan credit, give the uploaded photos one last look and confirm the listing. Write the email while you wait; the finished video comes 24 to 72 hours after you send the listing, and once you have reviewed it you can host it and add the still image to the message.
Ways agents use a listing video in email
A listing video gives an email a reason to be opened and clicked. These are common uses.
The just-listed announcement
Send a brief note to your sphere with a still of the home, the key details and a clear button to watch the video and see the listing.
A buyer alert with context
For buyers who asked about a type of home, add one line on why this listing matches before the video image.
The monthly newsletter
Feature one new listing video in your regular newsletter alongside market notes, so the email is useful to people who are not moving.
A broker-to-broker note
Some agents send new listings to other agents in their market. Check your MLS and brokerage rules on this kind of outreach.
Seller reporting
Sellers appreciate seeing the marketing. Share the video page with them as part of a weekly update.
Test before sending
Send a test to yourself on a phone and a computer to check the image, the button and the page it opens.
What to know about video in email
Most inboxes will not play video inline
Support for video inside email is limited, so agents typically use a still image that opens a hosted page.
Consent rules apply
Commercial email laws in many places require consent or an existing relationship, a clear sender and a working unsubscribe option.
Your list is warm
Email reaches people who chose to hear from you, which makes it one of the most reliable channels for past clients and referrals.
Hosting is a separate choice
The video needs a home on the web, such as your website, a property page or a video channel, before an email can point to it.
Format needs go to support
If an email tool or host needs a specific format, contact support@listingvideosai.com before ordering.
Saved uploads
Your uploaded photos are saved, so you can come back before confirming.

What is a real estate video email?
A real estate video email is a marketing email that presents a listing through a still image which opens the listing video on a hosted page. ListingVideosAI makes the finished video from your listing photos; you choose where it is hosted and which email tool sends the campaign.
It is not an email service. ListingVideosAI does not send messages, manage lists or track opens.
Email campaign questions
Can the listing video play inside my email?
In most inboxes it will not. Agents use a still image of the home that opens the video on a page where it is hosted.
Will the finished video work with my email tool?
No email tool or host is promised. Check your tool's current rules, and for a specific format need, contact support@listingvideosai.com before ordering.
Who should receive a just-listed email?
People who agreed to hear from you: past clients, your sphere and buyers who asked for alerts. Follow the commercial email rules where you work.
Does ListingVideosAI send my campaign?
No. You receive the finished video for review and send the campaign with your own email tool.
Can I plan the email before the video is ready?
Yes. The finished video arrives 24 to 72 hours after you send the listing, so many agents draft the email and the hosting page in the meantime.
