Testimonials Sell. Email Them.

In keeping with our tradition of continuous tests and tweaks to boost the performance of our websites, we’ve discovered a very simple type of email that works well for email marketing.

You just need one main powerful ingredient to make it work well – testimonials.

That’s right.

Testimonials sell. The more you have, the better. Plus, they do boost conversion rates on websites.

So, we thought, what the heck, let’s literally put some testimonials in our emails and see how that goes.

Building Your Email from Testimonials

To give you a demonstration on how to do this, here’s a quick and simple example.

The following are testimonials from one of our major websites, SilvaLifeSystem.com

First Testimonial

“I’ve used the Silva Method for many years. It has helped me overcome my own illnesses. I urge you to attend Mr. Silva’s training sessions that are presented around the world.”

~ Dr. Wayne Dwyer, motivational speaker, author, and popular self-improvement guru from best-selling book Real Magic (Harper Mass Market Paperbacks, 1993)

Second Testimonial

“One of the earliest workshops I took was the Silva Mind Control Course… The most important technique I learned in that course was the basic technique of creative visualization… Our rational mind is like a computer… The intuitive mind, on the other hand, seems to give access to an infinite supply of information. It appears to be able to tap into a deep storehouse of knowledge and wisdom…”

~ Shakti Gawain, author of numerous books, including Creative Visualization (Bantam Books, 1983) from Living in the Light (Bantam Books, 1993)

Third Testimonial

I have been investigating and researching everything in the self-help and metaphysical field for the last 20 years….I have learned many techniques to help people, and the best of all is The Jose Silva UltraMind ESP System. I cannot imagine anyone not wanting to learn Jose Silva’s System once they understand how valuable these techniques are.

~ Ellen Roper, certified hypnotherapist.

Great, so now we have a few lovely testimonials. Here’s how we can include them strategically in a captivating email.

Remember, this is just a simple example.
