How to Write a Testimonial

When writing a testimonial, there are a few things you should keep in mind:

  • Keep it positive. A testimonial should highlight the positive aspects of your product or service. If you have any negative feedback, save it for another time.
  • Be specific. A good testimonial is specific and detailed.
    It should mention the product or service by name, and it should describe how it was used and why it was helpful.
  • Use names. When possible, use the full name of the person giving the testimonial. This adds credibility to the statement.
