Serious question, has anyone else tried sending a video invoice?

I had a client in Phoenix who ghosted me for 90 days on a $2,400 invoice. After three emails and a call went nowhere, I recorded a quick 60-second Loom video. I just screen-shared the overdue invoice, pointed at the total, and politely asked for an update. I sent the link and got paid in full two days later. I think seeing a real person talk about it made it harder to ignore. Has anyone else found a weird trick that finally got a client to pay up?

Wow, that video idea is actually brilliant... it adds a human touch that an email just can't. I might start doing a quick screen recording as my final step before sending to collections. Makes it feel like a real conversation they're avoiding.

Just make sure you don't accidentally record yourself yelling at the screen like I did last week...

Honestly, @max_schmidt77, my weird trick was sending a physical invoice by certified mail, which somehow scared them into paying.
