3 Solid Methods You Can Easily Use for Better Testimonials

By Ethan Sims


Sometimes, if not often, a new online business has a hard time getting started because of the trust factor, and that needs to be addressed by all new businesses on the web. The one thing that new businesses understandably lack is customer testimonials, and that doesn't help because good testimonials are powerful. You'll be a few steps ahead by displaying your testimonials because if you do, then you'll find that your readers/visitors will respond more favorably to your marketing messages. In this article, we're going to cover three effective methods you can use to help you out with testimonials.

First on line, think about doing a survey of your customer base, and then you can decide on the focus such as your service, product, buying experience, etc. Your only goal in the survey is to get people to respond to it with some meaningful comments. Then be sure to include, maybe at the end, a question pertaining to how much they liked what they bought from you. You won't see a 100% response from your customers when you ask them to fill out this survey, but the response will be enough to generate enough testimonials. Also, very important, be sure to ask anyone for a release to use their replies in the form of a testimonial in your marketing or advertising. Not only can you come-out with terrific testimonials, but you can also occasionally get really great ideas to improve some aspect of your product, or service.

You almost shouldn't even bother if all you have are initials and maybe a state because people will blow them off. Even though there's a law that makes it illegal to fabricate testimonials, there are still dishonest marketers who are adamant on doing it. Once you have satisfied all the requirements, or suggestions really, for providing sufficient information, then you've done your job and don't stress over it.

It's very important that people don't feel like anything unusual is going on when they read your testimonials; in other words they can't appear that your best friend wrote them. As you probably know, the perfect product or perfect service does not exist. Testimonials look and feel much more credible and real when they have understandable feedback and balanced comments, for example, "it was confusing at first since I was using the service for the first time, but once I got a hang of it, it was just a breeze!" Don't think people won't read that and know that you're not afraid to tell the world.

Last but not the least; remember that when you're collecting testimonials, they should be from similar people. There needs to be a connection between your target market and the people in your testimonials. There is no doubt that when that occurs, the people reading will have a better feeling about everything. When this all works well, then your conversion rates will reflect those good feelings. In conclusion, from the above article we can easily conclude that generating quality testimonials is all about thinking out of the box and working with your customers in the most effective manner. You know the deal about testimonials, but keep in mind they have to be presented as powerfully as possible. You need to give it some time if you're just starting out, and once you think it's the right time, go ahead and start applying the ideas that we discussed in this article.
