We all know that testimonials from clients can boost credibility and positive perception of a company. But did you know that 79% of people prefer viewing a video rather than a written testimonial?

In the day and age where video is ‘king’, video testimonials are easy to obtain and can be used in various ways. Whether you post a video to YouTube, LinkedIn, or even live on your website, people ALWAYS prefer to put a face to words. 

Here are 4 reasons why you should start investing in video testimonials: 

1. Establish Credibility
   1. Video testimonials can enhance trust through real-life testimonials 
   2. Humanizing the brand by showcasing a satisfied customer

2. Emotional Connection

   2. You have a chance to SHOW the diversity of your clients, hence your company’s successful work

3. Showcasing Real Results
   1. You can display before-and-after scenarios 
   2. Use customer success stories as a reflection of the brand’s capabilities

4. SEO and Online Visibility
