Reinforces Trust

Customers generally trust reviews from other customers more than official communications from brands. It helps even more if the review is from a renowned person or a personal acquaintance.

When customers see other customers satisfied with a product or a service and endorse it, their trust in a brand is reinforced. This makes it easier for them to purchase your product or service.

More testimonials mean more credibility in the eyes of your target audience.

Engage with Emotions

What’s different in a video review compared to a text review? The emotions. Text reviews sound generic and emotionless.

When a satisfied customer talks about a product or a service on camera, raw excitement and satisfaction are on display. The gestures and body language also make a big difference. These emotions excite a potential customer, and all of this can’t be represented in a text review.

High Retention Rate

According to Forbes, 59 percent of business senior executives prefer using videos over texts. This is because videos have a 95 percent retention rate. Customers are also more likely to share video content, especially on social media.
