Offer Social Proof
By Brian Terry on Tuesday, October 20th, 2009Social proof is another amazing way to boost your sales. Nobody really likes to make the first move, in case we make the wrong one. The same can be said when people are buying an offer. They don’t want to take the risk of it being a bad buying decision.
If they see that other people have already purchased and have enjoyed the product, they will be a lot more likely to buy it themselves.
Some ways to incorporate social proof are…
- Include actual numbers when talking about results.
- Include case studies or before and after videos or pictures.
- Include some testimonials and even a picture of people who have used the product you are promoting.
You don’t have to do this within the e-mail copy itself, but you want to do it in the copy that you link to. You can even give some sales figures if you think that will boost their confidence.
