Testimonial Videos

Sales figures, funding history, customer reviews are all ways of telling how many people believe in you and in what you have to offer. A positive customer review or testimonial always nudges prospective customers to trust you. When done right, a customer testimonial video can be your brand video, explainer video and success story rolled into one. As you know, a happy and satisfied customer is also your brand ambassador, and they can endorse your brand to other potential buyers and increase your sales. Therefore, testimonial videos should be a part of your marketing strategy.

What does a testimonial video look like?

A testimonial video is simply a customer sharing their experience of using your product or services. It is usually a person speaking on camera, taking the listener through their journey. Typically, it should cover before and after experiences and

preferably qualitative or quantitative results they achieved after using the product. The video’s tone is usually serious and the intent is to humanize the success story. But, depending on your brand image, it can also be funny, quirky and witty.

Why is a testimonial video important?

Testimonial videos are especially important if you have launched a new product. Stories of people using a new product always help us connect with them and encourage us to try it. Testimonial videos help businesses create trust and confidence among their audience. It is advisable that you create more than one testimonial video so that people can have more stories to connect and follow.

How long should a testimonial video be?

Since a testimonial video intends to take the audience through a journey, it is important to build one gradually. The video should hold the viewer by their hand and take them along this journey. Therefore, the length of the video is usually two to five minutes and sometimes more. As long as the story is interesting, people will listen. However, beyond interview shots, it should also give a deeper insight into the person’s life on camera so that the audience can connect easily. That is why the video should capture other details, shots of the product/service and tangible results, if any.
