- Use before and after photos – make sure the photos look professional. Hire a photographer if necessary.
- Gain a celebrity endorsement or a high profile individual in your niche.
- Demonstrations work extremely well. Make a video of how the products or services work. Studies have proven that demonstrations out sell testimonials because consumers can physically see the product solving their problem.
