Choose Thinktank's Opinion Leader Testimonial service to make your film.
Sector Specific
Producing customer testimonial films in specific sectors or niche markets where there is a real need to ask the right questions can be the biggest hurdle to making successful on-screen customer reference projects. We don't just produce beautifully crafted films; we take great interest in understanding the subject matter to make your video the best it can be! We have the innate ability to grasp complex markets and in-depth technical information, which allows us to ask the right questions and understand the contributor answers to the extent that we can ask the right probing questions based on their reply.
Feature-Benefit
Client testimonials can be used as a tool to draw out the main features and deal-breaker benefits for your product or service offering. We're able to fine-tune client testimonial productions to give your video stand-out factual information – like getting your clients to wax lyrical about what they like best about your company. And, explain how buying from you gives them several valuable benefits. If you want a more front-foot positive approach to your testimonial films, we can make an amazing feature-benefit testimonial video for you.
Use | In-Action
For customers who prefer to see your product or service in action during a testimonial video, we can incorporate the product/service in use during the visual testimony. Inter-cutting between customers who love your product and watching exactly how it helps in the real world makes for a great story. What better to sell your product to new customers than to have real users talking and demonstrating your product in action. This gives you a persuasive tool that you can share to increase take-up of your brand and increase sales.
Time Saving
Very often, we find that one of the main benefits of seeing clients using their testimonial videos is in the time that their customers save by using their products.
It's much easier to show someone how much time can be saved on video because the proof of concept can be demonstrated whilst your testimonial contributor talks about your product's other benefits. Ultimately, testimonial videos that show how clients can save time using your product work really well.
Endorsement
An endorsement testimonial film is the most sales-focused of all testimonials. If you're looking for an endorsement film, we can create a powerful film where your client contributor explains why it's important to switch to your product during their interview. The idea behind endorsement films is to make your customer reference programme more sales-like. This can be especially good for highly competitive markets where buyers don't have much time to consider subtleties and want the facts presented in a crystal-clear way.
Problem Solving
Certain products and industries respond well to 'problem-solved' style client testimonials. Whilst how you solved their problem' is something you'll find in most client testimonial films; some clients choose to have productions where problem-solving is the video's main focus. For video testimonials that are problem-solution-centric, we know how to get the best interview sound bites to make your films really work. If this is what you're looking for, we can help you create the right film for your needs.
Customer Reference
Global clients often prefer to have a structured, strategic approach to testimonial content. This is called Customer Reference, and Thinktank is one of the leading Customer Reference video providers in Europe. The reference programme involves in-depth strategic client management across various countries and different market sectors. If you're looking to upgrade the standard and quality of your customer reference programme, talk to thinktank. We make great reference films and provide a best-in-class value geared to clients who want the finest content without the heavy price tag normally associated with CR.
In-Depth
Some sectors require complex, in-depth technical client testimonial appraisals; for example, engineering, banking, technology, education and healthcare.
The skill in making in-depth customer testimonial videos is comprehending the subject matter to get better interview content. It is also paramount to put together a concise end-product so that your in-depth testimonials aren't 15-minutes in duration.
We're good at balancing communicating the right level of information to retain viewer interest in your video production.
