In the two years since Flimp released its last report, digital postcards have grown in popularity and evolved in tandem with how clients are using them. In 2015, a typical postcard featured a single video and two or three buttons. Today, it is common to include more videos to educate and several buttons, leveraging the all-in-one convenience for employees. See an example.

This growth allowed Flimp to increase the number of campaigns analyzed in its latest report from 40 to 200 while the response rate held steady at 76 percent. With more buttons to click and more videos to watch, employee response rates climbed dramatically from 94 to 147 percent and video-viewing rates rose from 104 to 139 percent. Mobile viewing also rose significantly from eight to 31 percent.

"Our HR team is so excited about the new digital postcards. They have allowed us to reach employees in all corners of the country with a crisp and consistent message," remarked Christy Fenner, HR Director at a.i. solutions. "We have saved countless hours for the HR team and employees by replacing the traditional in-person meetings with a slick digital delivery. Time is money and the digital postcards allow us a more efficient approach to budgeting HR dollars."

The video communications campaigns utilized employer-branded, interactive digital postcards and video content produced by Flimp Media, which specializes in creating HR benefits videos and presentations for employers, brokers and insurance providers. Its expanded animated video library offers more options for employers looking to include additional educational videos for their employees this enrollment season.
