Hi luistaim, there are loads of people waiting to bite your hand off to sell you a 'video email package' - from MLM-based companies like VMDirect (offering you a media hosting package) to business video producers selling streaming services.
Whatever you do, content is king - and badly shot, badly lit and/or badly sound-recorded video can damage your image faster than it can build it, so consider carefully whether or not you have the media skills in the company to do a good job of creating and recording the content you intend to distribute.
A simple way to try whether video works for you in terms of your marketing and communication is to experiment with YouTube or Viddler. Record video, upload, send link to prospects / colleagues in email. Get feedback.
Cost? Zero.
If it doesn't work as a form of communication there, I suspect it wouldn't work ANY better with a 'video email' provider charging you a fortune to do it. It's the content that matters more than how people get to it.
If video DOES work for you there, then you could consider adding a respected email newsletter management company [EDIT: Eeeek - not me, I don't do that stuff, I hasten to add :-)] to the mix as a way of distributing your links and monitoring who clicks through to your videos.
