Testimonial (testimonial) - a marketing technique when promoting a product and (or) service, based on the active use of someone else's positive opinion about the marketing object.

The term testimonial originates from English testimonial - evidence.

Target Testimonial– popularization of goods and services, increase in their sales, creation of a positive image of the subject of marketing.

Types of testimonials:

• recommendation letter;
• author's laudatory characteristic, consumer feedback;
• direct advertising by a famous person - a consumer who gives the product a positive assessment;
• using the image of a famous person in indirect advertising.

The essence of the testimonial- a respected character or an ordinary consumer talks about his personal positive experience of using the product. Testimonial is often the use of paid positive opinions and opinion leader statements that are authoritative for specific target audiences, popular faces, pop and sports stars, politicians and other celebrities.

Application of testimonial. This marketing tool is used to promote products that people choose based on advice. Today, “conscientious” testimonial has practically filled the domestic advertising of FMCG products, food products, and banking services. In addition, testimonial is used to popularize complex services and goods, when a complex topic is revealed, as if from a private person, in a language accessible to the mass consumer.

Testimonial became an active marketing tool with the advent of the era of social marketing (Marketing 3.0 according to F. Cutlet).

In addition to the sphere of mass consumption, testimonial is actively used in the b2b segment. In this case, the company distributes praise about its activities, products or services received from customers or partners / affiliates.

Testimonial in internet marketing. Testimonial is used both in off-line marketing and in Internet marketing. In this case, the testimonial exists under the guise of messages in forums, chats, in social networks, blogs, etc.

The activity of using testimonial was the reason for the formulation of the principles of a new "technology for managing virtual consumers" (Management of Virtual Consumers, МVC)

What distinguishes ordinary communication from testimonial communication? The main goal of a testimonial website, brochure, presentation is to show people that:

• they are not the first to use the services and/or products of the company;
• that they did not come here in vain, and here they will not be deceived;
• using a complex product or using a complex service is simple;
• the topic can be covered in a non-professional, simple and accessible language.

Principles of testimonial communication.

English testimonial - evidence] - a marketing technique when promoting a product: a respected character or an ordinary consumer talks about his personal positive experience of using the product. T. is a kind of letter of recommendation, a laudatory characteristic that the “consumer” gives the product in advertising. It often consists of the use of paid positive opinions and statements by famous people, pop stars, sports stars, other celebrities and leaders who are authoritative for certain target audiences. Usually used for products where people are guided by advice. By the 21st century "conscientious" T. practically flooded the domestic advertising of sunflower oil, washing powders and cleaning products. A creative example of the action "on the contrary" was a series of videos "Liquid Plumber" - a remedy for clogged pipes. It is shown how real Russian plumbers, who normally could be experts in classic T., begin to perceive the new product as a competitor and protest against it, as it takes away their work. The target audience of the brand was shown as a modern urban woman 25-40 years old with an average and above average income, who takes care of the house, family, paying due attention to cleaning, but does not like to spend a lot of time on it. The consumer knows and uses both traditional mother's recipes and innovative formats that appear on the market, so she chooses liquid, and not real plumbing, communication with which she seeks to avoid. T. is common both in regular off-line advertising and on the Internet. That is, how laudatory reviews about the company's activities, its products or services are usually posted by the company's clients (if it is a b2c oriented company) or its partners/affiliates (if it is a b2b company). T. also exists on the Internet under the guise of "lost" letters, messages in chats, forums, blogs (network diaries), etc., in connection with which it was called "virtual consumer management technology" (Management of Virtual Consumers, MVC). The task of MVC is to create a character that does not exist in the real world, whose actions effectively affect target audience. The set of MVC tools is simple: a) a personal site, a phantom consumer blog; b) letters coming to community members on his behalf; c) his active work in Internet communities - forums, chats, bulletin boards. All these three elements of false life are intertwined and support each other, broadcasting to potential consumers a given advertising message. MVC apologists argue that, using a virtual consumer strategy, most of the mass market can be covered with just ten characters, who can be kept alive by three editors. The basic rules for preparing T. can be as follows. The main goal of the T.-site is to show people who have come to your site for the first time or who want to become your client or partner that they did not come here in vain, and they will not be deceived here. Therefore, T. should be, first of all, trusting, actually human (and not "author's"), and only then - informative, anticipate the questions of those who will read them, and, if possible, answer them. Since different people may have different questions, it is best to place several different T., which will "answer" these different questions - about the company, about the product, about the address of the point of sale, changing them like banners every few seconds or even organizing a link "Read more testimonials - see other T.". But no need to turn the site into a book of reviews! When presenting the opinions of "authoritative people", it does not hurt to give links to their websites in addition to their names and photos, indicate the possibilities for contact, etc. A.P.
