Marketing Idea #89: Collect Testimonials

Collect testimonials from your best clients as a regular part of your follow-up survey process.

Make sure you tell them you’ll be using all or part of their testimonials in your ongoing marketing efforts. Then, incorporate the best testimonials into every touch you have with your clients, such as invoices and marketing collateral (newsletters, ads, and so on). Remember: If you say it about you, it’s bragging; if someone else says it about you, it’s true.

Tip: Do you have a stellar client who would love to write you a testimonial but is always extremely busy? Offer to write it for her, and tell her if she approves, she may simply sign off on it. This allows you to mention the important stuff.

The best testimonials state:

  • the problem the client was having,
  • why the client chose you,
  • what you did for the client, and
  • why others should choose you.
