Why does showing what clients say about your company matters?

But before responding to why client testimonial videos are that important, we will first explain why is a video in general important. There are still people out there who believe that video is not a transcendental marketing tool, but we at Impress believe that it is. Why? You’ll be thinking… 

Video is the most powerful marketing tool, as it outperforms textual posts and static images for engagement, among many other reasons. So, what about using video to show customer reviews? Is it better to use video rather than text for testimonials? This blog will outline the importance of customer review videos.

Definition of customer testimonial videos

In general, a testimonial is when people make statements about their experience using that product or service. This statement has the function of confirming (or denying), and validating (or discredits) someone’s character and capabilities.

However, from the company’s perspective, testimonials are proof that what you do works. As a result, it serves as a window for stakeholders to see and understand what it’s like to work with you.

It also allows users to see the kind of people or companies your firm often works with, which may get lost in translation if your brand messaging isn’t clear enough, or if your website fails to convey the message.

They are much more than proof, which is why they are such an effective tool to employ in your brand awareness.

You may make a typical testimonial video that focuses on the fundamentals (what it’s like to work with you, for example), or you can go a step further and incorporate them into your overall brand identity video.

Finally, video testimonials are excellent sales tools that can perfectly compete alongside explainer videos or product demonstration videos.

Key statistics about Customer Reviews

According to recent studies, customer reviews have a great impact on purchases. Mainly because the customer watches people happy about the product or service that the company offers, it is more likely that they also buy that product or service.

In fact, 88% of consumers consult reviews before making a purchase. They also suggest that 63% of consumers are more likely to make a purchase from a site that has customer reviews. Thus, a website with customer testimonials will generate more sales than a website without reviews. Finally, 72% of consumers also say that positive reviews make them trust a local business more than they may have otherwise.

Benefits of getting reviews

By getting reviews, a company can: 

• Acquire testimonials that can be used as a marketing tool and that will help to build brand trust.
• Obtain feedback to improve business’ performance. It helps a business understand what is it doing right/wrong.
• Improve visibility of the company in Google. Google tracks the activity of ratings and boosts those companies with high rates or with a large quantity of ratings. Briefly, it recognises those companies that engage with customers. The higher the amount of good reviews, the higher the probability to appear on the Google Local Pack, which shows local business related to your search.
