How to Use Social Proof

How to Use Social Proof

What is social proof? It's a powerful?marketing tool that is often underused. It is important because people are more likely to do something if they see others doing it. Let's look at what it is and how to use it.

How to Find It

Sources of social proof include online reviews,?social media comments, messages, and other content that is shared about what you do for clients.

Here's an example by Kris Fasse about The Flamingo Advantage book:

We all feel a lack of courage and often a lack of clarity regarding just what God wants from us with our lives and our businesses. This book helps you renew your mind to God's way of thinking and how to embrace being your unique self in the business world. It is a must read for women who need to understand who they are and how their business is their sacred duty in honor of a Holy God. A fun read. An easy read. Understandable. Enjoyable. I couldn't put it down! I love, Love, love this book. Katie is the real deal and this book is the daily professional development my heart has been needing.
Kris Frasse

Celebrity endorsements are another powerful piece. That's why we were thrilled when Pete Vargas shared this:

“Get to know Katie Hornor, she is a rockstar”?

Another great source is social media followers:
