I am looking for good testimonials with regards to mobile marketing, apps, smartphone ready websites, etc. I'm wondering what would be the best way to do such a thing. I did a search but got lots of testimonials for specific products rather than for the actual subject matter. Would I be required to post a jobs post for this kind of thing? I guess I could use quotes from the likes of Google, Apple, etc -- but I'd prefer proper internet markeeteers, businesses or people that can relate to. Thanks |

@ Zardon - to get any kind of testimonials you need something to review, a product or services that people can check out first and then they give you the testimonials or leave a review. You ain't going to get something for nothing. | |

I have to agree with avoiding fake testimonials and buying testimonials. As discussed earlier in this post, pick a few businesses that you know and patronize and just do a simple demo set up for them. When walking into a business with a demo of a NEED THAT THE OWNER HAS, they are a lot more receptive to your pitch. After they see the demo, don't try to sell them right away, just simply ask them to let you try your system - no strings attached. Once the product/system actually works, get a testimonial from them...then upsell on your main products and services to increase sales for them. |

Don't do anything like this. When you show a business owner a need and a solution to it, go ahead and sell him the solution. I don't believe that you need testimonials to make sales. But if you want to think so, go get them. While you're gathering them, though, make all the sales you can and don't walk away from any opportunities to sell your product. Sales are your priority. Testimonials come after the sale. | |

Apologies OP. I wasn't being serious about the Fiverr thing. Hence my comment about it not being ethical etc. | |

If it doesn't suck, then you'll have your testimonials. Fiverr sucks and buying testimonials is what losers do...you're not a loser now are you. PS. loser as defined by Trump - one who sells a car without washing it first, or one who wears a fake rolex, etc. | |

In my opinion the best way to get testimonials as a new business is to give free trials of your service. We handed out flyers offering the first 20 businesses to respond a free mobile website. Over half of the 20 that responded ended up using other services that we offer so we ended up with great testimonials as well as residual income.

I agree, WHY do you need testimonials? What product are you promoting? | |
