Video testimonials - How to get success from your video testimonials

If you want to get real value from your testimonials you need to use video testimonials.

With video you enhance the value of your testimonials by showing the real person behind. That way your testimonials will reach a deeper dimension and a much more emotional appeal.

To ensure success you need to take charge over the whole process, from planning to execution and usage. But then it is important that execution and usage is managed in easiest way possible.

Video testimonial process

The trick for success is that you use an automated process that integrates recording and usage. Both for you and your customer.

1. Record your video

The first video that you need to record is your own.

The main purpose for this video is to catch your potential client’s interest. The content of the video might focus on selling, market or simply communicate your product, service, expertise, webinar, fair… etc.

The second purpose for same video is to get your current customers to testify in your favor. Therefore, it is important that your content will not make loyal customer unease to witness.

No matter what business your in, choosing to do a “wider” video where you express eg. what you do and how will always work. Then the narrower you get talking about eg. a specific product, means that you most probably also will have to filter to find possible customers for your video testimonials.

It is easy to record your video suitable for your testimonials with our system Byebuy.

You may also place several videos in a gallery where each testimonial ends up under each video it belongs to

2. Invite your loyal customers

When inviting your clients, – don’t be careless.

No customer of yours likes a slobby written request to become your ambassador. Be polite and explain why you would appreciate them to record their video testimonial.

And also very important, describe how and where you want to use it. Make sure your invitation is toned in a way that reflect your company and its values. It needs to be designed so that your recipients recognize how appreciated and valuable they are being your customer. The more personal you can be the better it is.

If you as company have individual relations with your customers it is strongly advised that you use your sales force to send out. your invitations. Doing it right, it is a great moment to contact your loyal customers as to show your appreciation for being your customer.

Share your video in your invitation the way you prefer. It can be a personal mail, mailing system, SMS etc.

3. Customer record their testimonial

The Nr. 1 success factor for your video testimonials is how easy it is for your customer to record their testimonial. Setting up a complicated procedure that takes time for your customer creates irritation and may even result in a backlash with negative feelings towards you and your brand.

Although you should not steer them of what to say in their video but it is advised that you at least direct them with some examples. Being clear this way you erase any potential unease for customer. And instead you customer gets more secure of what’s expected.

So remember, as you actually ask your customer to spend some time on this, it has to be easy to make the recording itself.
