    Nothing influences the human mind more than what words do. That is the purpose testimonials serve whilst selling your product to prospective customers.  A written testimonial can do wonders as your marketing collateral. Now, just think about the benefits of a video testimonial. Not only can it be heard, but your prospective customers can get a real sense of how their product experience will be. Take a note of the following benefits of having video testimonials:-

     

    1. Creates Trust

    Several companies tend to forget that not only are they marketing their particular product or service, they are promoting their reliability as well. It is to be understood that a business’s reliability is just as highly valued as the product or service they are trying to sell. If a customer has even the slightest doubt regarding a product or regarding your company, they will certainly not put their money at any kind of risk.

    Video testimonials are instrumental in creating a sense of trust, particularly for companies and start ups that are not popular far and wide among consumers. When a real person provides an authentic response to your company’s service, through a video testimonial, it encourages prospective customers to buy a certain product or invest in that particular company.

Thus it guards them from going through various spam results to reach to the information they actually want.
