Bringing in new customers, social proof is crucial. 

The way most business owners use social proof is through written text. Some use before and after photos, and also screenshots from social media.

Each of these can and does work very well.

The more you have, generally, the more it will help you.

But, as time goes by and more and more people get used to seeing this type of social proof...

The less they pay attention to it.

This is what is called social proof blindness.

To offset this you have to use even more, and then start to combine it with video social proof.

For a lot of business owners, video testimonials are a challenge to collect and use the right way.

So many don't use them, and just rely on the written social proof, screenshots, and before and after photos.

But then they're stuck and are not getting the most out of the social proof that they have. 

So what can they do?

They Can Animate Their Social Proof

But wait a second. If video testimonials are hard to collect, and a pain to use, animating testimonials has got be even harder?

Yes, in some situations they actually can be much harder, and more time consuming than some video testimonials.

So why even consider them?

Well, if they're done right...

The Best Part is...

Now, it's easy for you to animate social proof.

If you have a written testimonial, a review, or before and after photos of clients, you don't need to use high-end professional software tools to animate them.

You don't even need to know how to use Canva to create animated social proof.

You don't have to create these animated testimonials from scratch, or go and modify templates that Canva has.

That's because you can now access... 

Done-For-You Canva Animated Testimonial Templates

These templates were custom designed for you so that all you have to do is copy and paste the text, or photos you already have from your social proof right into these templates.

Each template has animations built into it so that the text and/or photos move on screen to draw a visitors attention to it.

On top of that, each template also allows you to add your own call to action to it.

So that way you can tell the visitors what you want them to do after they've read, or should I say, watched the animated testimonial.

And you can also edit each part of the template if you want to. You can change colors, text, and even the animations.

But you don't even have to do that since these are designed to work for you right from the start. 

Here's An Example Of How To Edit The Templates

What Type Of Templates Can I Get?

You can get social media templates, before and after photo templates, and standard templates.

This template turns a standard, "boring" Facebook review into a simple animated, asset. Simply copy the review you have and paste it into this template. You c an also add your own call to action at the end of the template. 

Sometimes customers and clients will leave you a testimonial in the comment section of a post, or an ad. To use that, you screenshot it and add it to your sales pages, or landing pages. But now you can take that comment and animate just like you see above.

One of the most powerful types of social proof are reviews. The template you see here is a Google Review. If you have any reviews that were left on Google for your business, you can simply copy their photo (if they have one) and the text from that review and paste it right into this template. 

Just like Google Reviews, Yelp Reviews carry a lot of weight and people rely on them quite a bit when they are interested in a business. You can take any Yelp Review that you have and make it animated by simply using this template.

Do you have any before and after photos? Then all you have to do is upload them right into this template and you'll be good to go?

This is another variation that you can use for any before and after photos that you have. Just like every other template you see here, you can edit or change every part of it if you want.

In this template we take the standard Polaroid photo and turn it into an animated before and after photo. With this template you can even include your own headline to really draw attention to the photos.

This template is a bit different from the other before and after photo templates because it allows you to use not just a URL for your CTA but also a QR code. That way if someone doesn't feel like typing in a URL they can scan the URL code to go where you want them to go.

Here is another before and after photo template that you can use. This one is a bit more playful and just like all the others it can edited and adjusted to fit your specific needs.

This template combines the Polaroid before and after templates with a notepad to create a more natural feel.

It's As Simple As This...

Attention spans are getting shorter, people are more skeptical than ever, and it's harder to get attention.

You have to prove that you can truly help people.

And the more social proof that you have, the better it will be for you.

But everyone is using the same type of social proof, and visitors are becoming blind to it.
