What is a testimonial?
A testimonial is words of praise from anyone that has tried your product or service.
How do I get testimonials?
If you are just starting out on the internet and you don't have any customers yet, it might take you a little while to get testimonials however there are a few tricks to get testimonials faster than usual.
- Try giving away your product for free for anyone that is willing to try out your service and give you a testimonial.
- Let your prospects know that if they purchase your product and give you a testimonial you will give them a full refund. (this can help sales for when you don't have any testimonials.
What if I already have customers??
Another way to get testimonials is by asking your customers. Simply send out an email asking for testimonials. If you don't get that many testimonials you can entice them by giving them a free gift or discounts off future products.
How should I display testimonials?
Testimonials always work better when they are displayed in a fashion that is noticeable to the web site visitor. Usually this is done by placing testimonials in colored background tables. Testimonials can also be displaced inside your sales letter basically at any part of the web page. In the top, middle or bottom.
