Creates scarcity and FOMO.
"Product X is trending—52 purchases today"
Highlights popular items.

Find mentions on Twitter, LinkedIn, Reddit, Product Hunt, etc.
Turn reviews into Twitter posts, LinkedIn posts, quote images.

Create a public page showcasing all your testimonials.
USE CASE:
Customer leaves 5-star review on G2 → Shoutjar imports it → Click "Amplify" → Get social posts ready to publish → Also display on your website.
This is content marketing through social proof.

But if you realized you need testimonials more than popups, keep reading. 👇
⚠️ Popup Fatigue
Users are increasingly blind to (or annoyed by) notification popups.
⚠️ Trust Issues
"Sarah from New York just purchased" — is that real? Users are skeptical.
⚠️ Only On-Site
Popups only work on your website. They don't help your social media or content marketing.
⚠️ Short-Term
Creates urgency in the moment but doesn't build lasting brand trust.
✅ Authentic Voices
Real customers, real names, real companies. Verifiable and trustworthy.
✅ Work Everywhere
Website widgets, social media posts, sales decks, investor pitches.
✅ Long-Term Asset
A great testimonial works for years. A popup is gone in 5 seconds.
✅ Content Marketing
One testimonial = multiple social posts. Popups don't create content.
For SaaS and B2B: Testimonials often outperform popups.
For e-commerce: Popups often outperform testimonials.
