In the future, Double Glazing & KBB companies will need to focus more on authenticity. Customers are becoming savvier and trust traditional ads less. They will seek out businesses with proven track records. Start leveraging customer testimonials now to stay ahead. Authentic feedback will be crucial for building trust and credibility with new prospects and reducing buyer's remorse.. Here are 4 ways you can use testimonials throughout your marketing. ↳ Website Home Page: Feature testimonials prominently on your home page to immediately build trust with visitors. Highlight quotes and customer experiences to showcase your reliability and success. ↳ Social Media: Share testimonials on your social media platforms. Use engaging visuals and videos to make the testimonials stand out. Regularly post customer success stories to keep your audience engaged and informed. ↳ Email Campaigns: Incorporate testimonials into your email marketing campaigns. Use them in newsletters and promotional emails to provide social proof and encourage conversions. ↳ Landing Pages: Place testimonials on landing pages to increase credibility and conversion rates. Testimonials relevant to the specific product or service being promoted can significantly boost trust and encourage potential customers to take action. This trend is only going to grow. Are you prepared to meet this demand?

𝗙𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝟭𝟬 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀, 𝗜’𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗱 𝘄𝗲𝗹𝗹 𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗮 𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘀𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗼𝗻 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗼 𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗶𝗺𝗮𝗴𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗽𝘂𝘁 𝗼𝗻 𝘀𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗺𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗮. That could be from your phone – because as we know, phones are one of the key pieces to any business these days – being able to take photos on-site is something that’s key to getting content out there to showcase your business. But I’ve also done a lot of training with photographers who are starting out or people in businesses who have a ‘works camera’ and want to get that little bit more out of it. I have various packages that can help you and your business – whether that’s 1-1 training, group training, online training, targeted work on specific pieces of equipment or even a certain style of photos that you’re trying to replicate – either through phones or through cameras. If you’re a photographer and you’re just starting out and you want some business support or mentoring directly, I am well equipped to talk you through that. I’ve helped numerous businesses over the years to go from an idea into a structured thought-out business that allows money to come in. In a lot of cases, it’s been a hobby in the past so the business side of things I always feel is the bit that is missed, certainly on university courses - the skills needed to take photos isn’t all that’s needed to make a business make money from taking good pictures. If you want to level up your photography skills for the new year, I can do one-off sessions, bespoke monthly catch-ups or accountability sessions – to be honest it’s not about the quality of your photography work, it’s about the mindset and the processes that you need to have in place for the business to grow. I certainly won’t criticise anyone’s skills as a photographer – that’s not what I’m here to do. If this sounds like something that would be productive for you and your business, please drop me a line and we can see what best works for you and where you are in your business. #photographycourse #levelupyourbusiness #northeastphotographer
