When you’ve worked hard on creating a great publication, having more choices is always a good thing. That’s why we’re so pleased to announce that there is now a new option for including video in your digital publications on Calaméo!

From now on, you will be able to embed video elements that play directly on the page of your publication without opening a pop-up overlay. Your readers can move seamlessly from browsing an article to watching a video clip and back again.

All you need to do is open your publication in the Calaméo Editor, go to the page you want to modify and select the video icon.

Adjust the blue zone so that it appears where you wish the video to play and add the video URL and text label in the video properties window. Then, choose “Embedded” from the Display mode drop-down menu.

You can also choose whether you would like to display the video thumbnail, begin playing the video automatically when the reader turns to this page and mute any background music while the video plays.

💡 TIP: Want embedded videos to play with sound? Don’t opt for autoplay. By default, your readers must click for sound on videos that start playing automatically.

Save your work and view your publication to see the video embedded right on the page!

Of course, you’ll still be able to choose the classic pop-up player for your videos. Just select “Pop-up” from the Display mode options when adding video to your publication in the Calaméo Editor.

Including video from YouTube, DailyMotion and Vimeo directly inside of your publication is an exclusive feature of our PLATINUM plan. Upgrade today to enjoy all the advantages of professional digital publishing on Calaméo!

Leverage Calaméo to Boost Your Email Marketing Strategy

In PRODUCT

Email marketing remains one of the most powerful tools for building customer loyalty and driving conversions.But to fully leverage your campaigns, your online publications—brochures, catalogs, white papers, or flipbooks—can become much more than simple informational assets. With Calaméo and its integrations with platforms such as MailerLite and Mailchimp, your content can turn into a strategic lever for lead generation, audience segmentation, and marketing automation.

Collect leads directly from your publications

Traditionally, email address collection relies on external forms or landing pages. With Calaméo, however, you can embed MailerLite or Mailchimp forms directly into your publications.

Concrete examples:

  • Product catalog: a subscription button placed after the presentation of your new products allows interested readers to join your mailing list in just one click.
  • Guide or white paper: an embedded form at the end of the document turns your content into an effective lead magnet.

Benefit: readers don’t need to leave your publication, reducing friction and significantly increasing sign-up rates.

Tip: add a trigger to display your form when the publication is opened or downloaded, for example. Discover MailerLite triggers and Mailchimp triggers.

Segment audiences based on reading behavior

All Calaméo publications generate valuable reader data: pages viewed, time spent on each page, links clicked, and more. This data can be used to segment your subscribers in MailerLite or Mailchimp.

How it works:

  • Create subscriber groups based on readers’ real interests.
  • Tailor your messages according to their interactions—for example, send specific offers to readers who viewed your premium catalog.
  • Prioritize communications based on engagement: the more a reader interacts with your publications, the more likely they are to receive targeted and personalized content.

Benefit: you send relevant campaigns to each segment, improving both user experience and conversion rates.

Automation and marketing workflows triggered by publications

With MailerLite and Mailchimp, your publications can trigger automated marketing workflows:

  • Welcome series: as soon as a reader signs up via an embedded form, they automatically receive your welcome emails.
  • Exclusive content delivery: share additional resources reserved for your most engaged subscribers.
  • Sales follow-ups: if a prospect views your catalog and signs up via an embedded form but doesn’t complete a purchase, an automated follow-up email can be sent.

Benefit: your publications become an active engine of your marketing strategy, saving time while maintaining personalized communication with your readers.

Performance analysis and campaign optimization

Integration with MailerLite and Mailchimp allows you to track the impact of your publications on your email campaigns: open rates, click-through rates, generated sign-ups, and more.

Practical applications:

  • Identify which publications attract the most new subscribers.
  • Determine which content is the most engaging and replicate its success.
  • Optimize your forms and messaging based on observed behavior to maximize conversions.

Benefit: your publications become powerful tools for continuous optimization of your email marketing strategy.

Conclusion: your publications become engagement drivers

With Calaméo, your brochures, catalogs, and flipbooks are no longer just informative assets. When integrated with MailerLite or Mailchimp, they become powerful tools to collect leads, segment audiences, automate campaigns, and analyze performance.

In short, every Calaméo publication can contribute to strengthening your email marketing strategy and turning reader engagement into tangible business results.
