www.benchmarkrichmedia.com This company has several valuable video services. They can send out high volumes of video emails per hour for you. Quality is limited to your recording quality. The service also provides a database of short videos you get rights to use. I like the customizable templates they provide. Like a mini website where you can include links, HTML, graphics, flash you name it. Here is how the service works, you record your video on your computer with your web cam or video camera. Then upload your edited video masterpiece to their system for distribution where you will benefit from a sophisticated reporting interface detailing click through rates of the delivered video content. Plans start at $19.99 per month. Free demo accounts available. This source is for Internet marketers more than for sales reps or business people who want to send a fast video mail out and go on to another task. Use Benchmarkrichmedia to send out video newsletters and bulk video mail campaigns.

This company is best of breed. Not just video email, you can also meet with up to 33 other people using their live video feature. And none of those people need to be subscribers.

Covideo's most important feature is a customizable template like a mini travelling website with a menu of videos you want your viewer to see. Their video player interfaces with Microsoft Outlook and subscriptions include bulk video mailing plans, Get a free demo account and see for yourself. Monthly service fees apply. There are almost no limits in using this service. This service is great for sales people and business people of all types. You won't have to apologize for lack of quality.

www.sightspeed.com This is one of the leaders in the video communication field. They have excellent customer service. Sightspeed is continuously improving their service and list of features. The cost and services are low compared to others in the video communication segment. Only $49 per year. Their new business division should be a big hit.

www.Servergrove.com This service is really a hardware provider. If money is not an issue. Own your own system. Keep more control. Last I checked the cost was $4,000 for the hardware.

www.Firststream.com This is a network marketing company (MLM), you will need to find a rep who sells VMdirect.com services to begin using this service. This service has been in planning stage for nearly a year. It is almost an exact copy of their family plan social networking site Helloworld.com. Easy enough to find a rep to set you up just type vmdirect into any search engine. Firststream demo accounts are available. Cost starts at $69 per month plus set up fees and other extras. Be sure to get a demo plan to try out the service before you spend money. They have had many technical problems. My experience shows they are spending more time selling affiliates than improving the broken features of the service.

www.Myvideotalk.com This is a network marketing company (MLM), you will need to find a rep to sign you up for the service, the reps can get you a free demo account. Pricing is based on usage. Make sure you can change the domain that the video mail is coming from or you will be stuck with a silly domain tied to your video mails. I have not personally used the service, but I've seen the product and it is good quality.
