Do you have happy customers? Are you asking them for reviews and testimonials? Having testimonials is a proven way to build social proof for your product or service.

At Knapsack we ask our clients to leave a review on Google or recommend us on Facebook. This helps us rank higher in searches and make it easier for people to discover us.

Testimonial videos can be an even more powerful tool. Video is more engaging and more personal, which builds more trust.

What if you could easily collect video reviews from customers anywhere in the world?

Now there’s an easy way with Typeform’s new app, VideoAsk. Here are three reasons I think you should try it out:

Why you should use VideoAsk to capture customer testimonials

To be clear—this isn’t a paid ad. I’m very excited about the potential uses for this product and I have to share it!

1. No download required for your customer

When your customer receives a link to your VideoAsk, all they need to do is click a record button and start talking! If they prefer, they can also respond with an audio message or text.

2. It’s easy to set up

It only took me about 15 minutes to set up my first VideoAsk. From your phone or webcam you can quickly record your initial question. For example: “Hi, it’s Ben from Knapsack! Can you tell me what you liked about working with our team?”

3. You can share it easily

You can link directly to a VideoAsk or embed it in your website. If you want to get fancy, you can even link to a VideoAsk from an automated email so you’re collecting testimonials automatically!

I hope you found this little app recommendation useful. Let me know if you try VideoAsk and how it works for you!
