Why use video testimonials?

Word-of-mouth is still one of the most powerful marketing tools. Having video testimonials provides your potential clients with a ‘from the horses’ mouth’ recommendation from your existing satisfied clients, which reinforces trust and credibility. 

Here are some benefits of video testimonial 

• Video testimonials are more powerful than written reviews – this is because they give your existing clients the opportunity to describe their experience with your brand and services. 
• They allow more information to be conveyed in a shorter amount of time - statistics show that video has a 95% retention rate whereas only 12% of people remember textual information. 
• A personal message from a client that has already benefitted from your products or services reassures new and potential clients.  
• It provides a better emotional connection – it conveys authentic messages of real-life benefits that resonate with people on a human level
• 87% of viewers purchase after watching a video.
