Animated client testimonials

Testimonials 101 - How I tell leads their social proof should be working harder.

Last month I had a call with a fabulous trade association Marketing Head (reproduced with permission):

He wants to double memberships over 2 years.

Explaining membership benefits in a stand-out and clear way would help him make that home run.

When I brought up why his testimonials should be animated (his firm has plenty), he was all ears.

So my show-and-tell consisted of:

👉🏽 Presenting a few testimonial animations

👉🏽 Sharing the platforms they’re used on (I LOVE how versatile they are)

👉🏽 How my simple process for delivery works

And he was on board.

Post them on your socials, website, expo screens even embed in your newsletter.

One eye-popping asset, multiple platforms. I just love that.

If you don’t have the resources to create live video testimonials, animation is the next best thing.

Which version is more effective, top (video) or bottom (text) 👀👇🏽?
