If you have benefitted from any of the work that you’ve done with Downstage Media it would mean the world if you would leave a review. This will help potential clients get a clearer understanding of what the process is like. It also will give you that warm, fuzzy feeling that you helped out an independent, woman-owned business. It’s only right to make the process as easy on you as possible. So here is all the info you need to write a helpful review with little time and energy on your part, plus a bonus as a thank you for reviewing.

You may have the best intentions to help spread the word about Downstage Media (or any company that you like), but who has the time to sit down and figure out what to say?

We’ve broken down what information is the most helpful for the people reading the reviews, so they know that we are the kind of company they’d like to work with, plus four ways that you can leave us a review.

1. Fill In the Blanks

If there’s one thing that is clear, it’s that people don’t have a lot of time. And filling in the blanks is an easy way to save it. You can complete this survey which ushers you through a few prompts that someone would want to know before hiring Downstage. I’ll cobble it together into a usable review. There are only 5 questions and it won’t take you more than five minutes.

You’ll be able to share your feelings as well as your name (first name is all that’s required) as well as a link to your project that we’ve worked on together.

Behind the Scenes: This survey was created in Mailchimp and is included in most packages. You can easily make one too for your audience!

2. Create a Testimonial Video

If you’d rather make your own testimonial video that would be really great. Video is a quick way to get an audience to trust you. To do it in a review turn on your camera, and include these key elements:

Testimonial Prompts

1. What was the problem you were having before you discovered Downstage Media?

2. What did the frustration feel like as you tried to solve that problem?

3. What was different about Downstage Media's approach to your problem?

4. Take us to the moment when you realized our services were actually working to solve your problem.

5. Tell us what life looks like now that your problem is solved (or on the way to being solved).

Then, email a link with your video to info@downstage.media.

3. Leave a Review on Marketing Made Simple

Many people looking for marketing help turn to MarketingMadeSimple.com. It’s an online listing of some of the best marketers in the world. When you leave a review for me, it helps to clarify what results and outcomes clients can expect. Simply answer the questions above and leave a review on Marketing Made Simple.

Where Do Reviews Go?

When you leave on review on a survey, a video, or an online form, Downstage Media will use it on other channels to promote our work. Your review may show up on Downstage Media’s blog, in an email, on Downstage.Media, and on social media. So if you would like to include a link to your project, please do so. I’d be happy to help promote you in the process.

I may go into your public social media profiles to find the picture you like and include it with your text. Pictures, full names, and videos are very helpful to lead credibility to your review, but if you would prefer I only use your first name, or not use your image, that’s fine too. Just let me know and I’m happy to honor your request.

Thank You Gift for Reviewing

As a thank you for reviewing Downstage Media, I’d like to offer you a free Check In session. You’ll be given the link to sign up for free once completing your review. And thank you again for helping an independently-owned, woman-owned small business.
