TIPS TO WRITE A GREAT TESTIMONIAL FOR YOUR PHOTOGRAPHER
Testimonials and reviews are pivotal to the continued success of small businesses like mine, as they really help new clients to trust that they will have a positive experience if they choose to book with us. Here are a few tips that will help you write an incredible testimonial in a limited time.
%95 of people take the time to read the reviews before they choose to purchase a service or product. People trust the reviews as much as they trust friends and family recommendations. Consistent positive google or facebook reviews from clients can improve a business visibility and increase the likelihood to appear higher in local search rankings.
Feedback and reviews give us as a team a valuable insight that will help us improve the experience and our services for future clients. Also, it’s important to know the impact of a negative review for a small business. Just make sure, if there is any constructive feedback or negative experience reach out to us first and give us a chance to resolve the issue. Explain the issue in a kind way instead of a negative post online. We as a team work very hard to go above and beyond and make sure to create the best possible experience for all of our clients.
How should I write my testimonial?
A very important note: Google and Facebook flag and hide any reviews that have the word “shoot” in it. Make sure to avoid using the words "shooting, shot and shoot", when writing a review. Instead, use “photoshoot” as one word or "photo session, portrait session, portrait or Image, and photo" when describing your experience. Also, ask your photographer to make sure they see the review on their end.
1- What made you decide to book a portrait session?
2- In what way the photographer and the team helped you create the images you always wanted?
3- How would you describe the process and your experience?
4- How did the guidance and consultation session help you feel comfortable and less stressed before your session?
5- What was your favourite part of working with the team and specifically your photographer?
6- How the team put you at ease or even exceeded your expectation during your photo session?
7- Was there any specific moment that made you feel fabulous and want to talk about it?
8- Is there anything else that you appreciated working with your photographer and the team and you would like other people to know about it?
Your review, feedback and referrals are extremely valuable to me. Thank you for taking the time and reading this blog! To leave a review for Sara Kardooni Portraits please visit my google page and share your experience with others.
I loved every second of my experience with Sara. From our first styling meeting, to the photoshoot, to the photo reveal, to the photo delivery, every interaction with Sara was a delight. I was at a particularly low moment in my life when I saw the ad for Sara's Fabulous after Fifty project. Something inside me said "you have to do this" and I signed up immediately.
It was one of the best things I have ever done. The session itself was a dream: Sara and her team made me feel beautiful and sexy. The day was fun, luxurious and exciting - just the thing I needed to lift my spirits and remind me how fierce and fabulous I really am. And the photographs were stunning! Sara, I can't thank you enough. The entire experience is something I will always cherish.
