We know that getting feedback from your students is important to ensuring your courses are geared in the right direction, but it is also a great way for potential students to see what others are saying. They are a valuable tool for customers when making a purchase online.
Why are Testimonials and Reviews Important to Social Proof?
Testimonials and reviews are a form of marketing that allows customers to share their experiences with others. They provide customers with a trusted voice and can help others make a decision about whether or not to buy a product or service.
But in today’s world, a lot of people don’t always trust written reviews. So how do we overcome this?
Video reviews of course. They offer a level of authenticity that written feedback doesn’t, particularly to the younger markets.
Veedback allows you to capture testimonials and reviews in video format, which you can then use as part of your marketing toolkit.
As a course creator, you’re competing against a lot of people for students, so it is in your best interest to utilise the best marketing you’ll have access to – word of mouth. Video reviews are a cost-effective marketing option, and don’t have a timeline on their use.
It’s Not Just for Sales
While it is a great marketing tool, feedback and testimonials aren’t just for selling more courses. They are a great way for you to understand what your students enjoyed about your class, what they got out of it, how they have been able to put the tools you taught into place, and what results they have achieved. They may also tell you where you could change your course or give you ideas on other educational courses you could offer (advanced courses, spin off courses etc).
Why Veedback?
It’s easy enough to send your past students an email asking them to record a review or testimonial on video for you, but this then means they have to find the time, find a program to record onto and then send it to you.
With Veedback, you send an invite, which takes your students to a custom landing page, where they can record their video. You can send the link as an email, send it via SMS or embed it onto your website.
Your students don’t need to have an account, and the video review is easy for you to access. You can then share this onto your social media accounts and your website.
How to Collect Reviews?
Collecting reviews can be difficult, but it is in your best interest to do what you can to get them. Here are some tips on how you can ask for reviews:
- Email – simply email your past students to record a testimonial for you
- Embed a form into your course
- Give a reward – this may work if you are really having trouble getting testimonials. A small reward such as 10% off their next course or a free copy of your eBook may be enough to convince someone to leave a review for you.
