Using effective testimonials is an important step in this process and highlighting the right testimonials is of the utmost importance. Did you know that 90% of people trust testimonials from people they know, and that 70% of people trust testimonials of strangers posted online? (Neilsen, 2009) Testimonials build trust. Nothing is more trustworthy than seeing a real person talking highly of your product or service Testimonials can answer important questions Testimonials overcome buyer skepticism by showing how your product has helped others A testimonial can substantiate claims that you have made on your website By including a first name, last name and company name in the testimonial, you are showing that your testimonials are coming from real people
