How to write a testimonial /
A good testimonial is:
SHORT
Readers are wary of reading long-winded testimonials. Ideally, keep them just one-to-two sentences long.
A testimonial needs to propel the reader to action. The testimonial should be worded in a compelling manner reflecting the hopes and fears of the person behind it. Action-oriented and emotive words that capture emotions well are a good way to do that.
AUTHENTIC
When you say something about a business, it should be your honest opinion. Yes, you bear a significant risk of the testimonial sounding blunt. But, a testimonial only works when it sounds authentic.
BENEFIT SPECIFIC
A long meandering testimonial that takes forever to arrive at the point kills conversions. It should be specific and describe the results/benefits that you received from our products & services.

“Our brand and website were looking a bit tired and old – we had tried to update ourselves but we just didn’t have the know-how. We came across Julie and the rest of the team from Marketing Eye and things started happening right away! Within days we had a new brand direction, a new modern looking and useable web design and a solid marketing plan – exactly what we needed. Thanks for the direction!”
Chris Reynolds, Managing Director, Champion System Australia – Quality sports clothing, tested for durance.
“We developed a great partnership with Orbit Media and their dedication to our website is evident in all aspects of the site. We appreciate their attention to detail and creative approach to bringing our new exhibit to life online.”
