Written by Danielle Price Griffin | Feb 26, 2025 2:00:00 PM

Seeing others enjoy and recommend your product can nudge potential customers toward a purchase. Social proof builds credibility and shows that your business delivers on its promises.

  1. Feature Customer Testimonials: Add positive reviews or quotes on your website and social media.
  2. Highlight Milestones: Share achievements like “1,000 happy customers served” or “As featured in [publication].”
  3. Showcase Real-Life Use: Use images or videos of your product in action, ideally submitted by happy customers (see Marketing Quick Tips #1 on User-Generated Content and Marketing Quick Tips #16 on Reviews and Testimonials).

By showcasing others’ experiences, you reduce hesitation and build trust with your audience.
