How to effectively use testimonials

One of the most important tasks of your website is to educate potential customers of your product and/or service. Using effective testimonials is an important step in this process and highlighting the right testimonials is of the utmost importance.

Did you know that 90% of people trust testimonials from people they know, and that 70% of people trust testimonials of strangers posted online? (Neilsen, 2009)

• Testimonials build trust. Nothing is more trustworthy than seeing a real person talking highly of your product or service
• Testimonials can answer important questions
• Testimonials overcome buyer skepticism by showing how your product has helped others
• A testimonial can substantiate claims that you have made on your website
• By including a first name, last name and company name in the testimonial, you are showing that your testimonials are coming from real people

1. Once activated, click the “Testimonials” link in your left navigation

How do I create a testimonial widget?

Showing your testimonials within a widget is easy. Simply copy and paste the shortcode of the testimonial into a text widget and press “Save”. Your testimonial widget should appear on your website. Keep in mind that you should rather select an individual testimonial shortcode for a widget instead of the shortcode that dispays all the testimonials.
