Companies upload customer testimonial videos on their websites and social media platforms as part of their marketing. Videos are able to reach many potential consumers who are online users or are interested to know more about a brand.

Customer testimonial videos are usually produced by a professional videographer hired by the company. Providing a professional outlook with quality visuals and audio are factors that could add to a brand’s image.
Customer testimonial video production begins with finding suitable candidates for the video. There a few places and ways to source for satisfied customers of a brand’s products. The first place to look is on online review sites. There may already be people reviewing those products on Google, Facebook, Yelp and many more sites.

Testimonial videos should be presented in a question and answer format, where customers share their journey and experience with a brand in the most personal and authentic way.
