12. Using Customer Testimonials as Case Studies

Getting positive customer testimonials is a great first step towards building your online reputation as a trustworthy company that provides excellent service and products. Legions of satisfied customers are considerably more influential than even the best-written sales copy, so ensure you include effusive testimonials and reviews from your hardcore brand evangelists gushing about how wonderful you are. By using customer testimonials in the right way can provide credibility to give your viewers the extra push they need to go ahead and convert into leads or better yet, paying customers. These might appear on your product page, landing pages, pricing page, even your home page.

Comparably, the inclusion of trust signals can be an excellent way to increase online sales, as it creates a more favourable perception of your brand in the mind of the prospect and can potentially overcome hesitations preemptively. Should your business have any professional accreditations, put the trust signals in front and centre on your site. If you have an impressive list of satisfied clients, ensure your prospect know about it.
