TestimonialNudger
The Problem
Businesses miss out on 90% of potential testimonials due to ineffective collection methods, awkward follow-ups, and lack of automation, ultimately reducing social proof and credibility.
The Solution
An automated platform that sends AI-written testimonial requests at the optimal moment, provides elegant collection forms, and offers professional display options — all with minimal effort from the business owner.
Project Overview
TestimonialNudger is a comprehensive platform that automates testimonial collection, management, and display for businesses of all sizes. The platform addresses a critical challenge faced by businesses: collecting and showcasing authentic client testimonials efficiently.
Most businesses recognize the value of testimonials but struggle with the collection process. Follow-up emails often go unanswered, clients forget to provide feedback despite promising to do so, and business owners often feel uncomfortable directly asking for praise. Additionally, there's the fear of potentially receiving negative feedback publicly.
TestimonialNudger solves these problems with an automated system that sends personalized, AI-generated testimonial requests at the perfect moment - right after service completion when client satisfaction is highest. The platform features pre-written copy optimized for conversion, a sentiment analysis system that filters out negative feedback, and options to collect rich media testimonials including video and images.
What sets TestimonialNudger apart is its seamless integration with payment systems like Stripe, allowing for automatic triggering of testimonial requests post-payment. The platform also includes a professional showcase page where businesses can display approved testimonials, embedding options for any website, and a secure token-based collection system.
Designed with both businesses and their clients in mind, TestimonialNudger makes providing feedback simple and frictionless while giving businesses complete control over which testimonials to approve and display.
