Are you making the most of testimonials that you got from satisfied clients? If not, here are 7 ways to boost your marketing efforts
1) Make sure any testimonials you use on your website, really stand out from the rest of the text. Put a box around them, or use different fonts. Make sure you include their name (rather than their initials) and perhaps where they’re from, to add credibility. If they have a website, include their URL, but don’t make it an active link, as you want visitors to stay on your site! Use testimonials that refer to particular aspects of your business, for example, your great customer support, super price or even speedy delivery.
2) Set up a question / answer (Q/A) page or FAQs page on your website. Have a link to your list of testimonials included for quick reference or better still, use your testimonials in some of the answers.
3) Set up testimonials in an autoresponder message and place the email address or sign-up box on your site, so that it’s available 24/7 upon request.
4) Batch up a bunch of testimonials into your own report or guide in PDF format available as a free download to help your prospects and clients with future shopping. You could set them up by categories according to which types of services you offer for handy reference, too; for example, Audio Software, Books, Copywriting Services, etc.
5) Turn your testimonials into case studies and articles to use for promotional purposes. Start off with enticing headlines based upon the main point each testimonial focuses on like Super Support Service, Awesome Attention to Details, etc. Then include quotes or excerpts and even a link to your site for more information or to download the entire report or case study (or have this preloaded into an autoresponder and offer the web address to it as a Free Report in your last paragraph). Submit the articles to online article directories.
6) Don’t forget to use client testimonials in your offline marketing too. They are powerful and should be included in your brochures, newsletters, postcards etc. You could even try using them in radio or TV adverts. This has been done many times before, so why not include them, if you use this form of marketing.
7) Press releases can be very powerful methods of including client testimonials. If you think offline publications and media organizations may have an interest in what you have to say, then don’t be afraid to get in touch with them. Write to their editors and then keep in touch.
