More credibility for your testimonials

We recently had some constructive feedback from the team over at the 8020Strategy Group in the USA. They really wanted to use vouchforthis, but considered that the email that gets sent to request a testimonial was too wordy. We have worked together to come up with a shorter, snappier testimonial email that gets sent to [...]

Over the past few days we have started pushing all vouchforthis site traffic through CloudFlare. CloudFlare is a server that sits in front of our usual web server and serves two purposes : To protect the main site from malicious attacks To improve performance by utilising their CDN (Content Delivery Network). CDN’s work by replicating [...]

We have been listening to our members again! You told us you wanted to create your testimonial widgets so that they automatically expand to fill the space available to them in your website. This would help when placing the same widget in more than one place within your site – for example, in the main [...]

It’s perfectly reasonable for you to want to share your new testimonial with the World. After all, you worked hard for it, you’re proud of it, and unless other people see it – what’s the point of it?

Following a suggestion from one of our new members we have changed the ‘more about’ link at the foot of each of your website widgets so that it includes your referrer id. What this means is that you will now be automatically credited with sending new members to us if any of your website visitors [...]

A few weeks ago I was trying to persuade a community of website users that getting their website testimonials verified was a good idea (and that they should join vouchforthis to do so!). One of the group raised the point that an unscrupulous website owner could copy the style of a vouchforthis website widget and [...]

We have changed the order in which testimonials are displayed in your widgets. Previously, testimonials were displayed in the order they were uploaded. This means that your newest testimonials appeared at the bottom when displayed on your website. Ideally, we would have wanted to allow you to determine the order in which they are listed, [...]

So far, you have been able to use vouchforthis to add and verify testimonials that have already been given to you, and also to prompt your customers to add a testimonial for you. It’s up to you to manage this, and whilst I’m sure most members are pro-active in asking for testimonials where they think [...]

We have decided to create a referral scheme to help build our client database. All members of Vouchforthis can participate, and a generous referral commission of £5 is payable for each new paying member that you introduce. As awareness of the vouchforthis website increases so should the credibility of the testimonials we display – and that [...]
