Veeam’s Business Hurdle

The team at Veeam started using TrustRadius as a tool to build their competitive presence on review sites. Denisa Dan, the Global Marketing Campaign Manager, and Maria Luisa Liuzzo, the Global Product Marketing Manager at Veeam, quickly realized that review content could make a big impact on the conversion power of marketing initiatives. They worked together with TrustRadius to leverage review content in a few ways:

• Provide prospective customers with unbiased, authentic reviews
• Offer current customers a channel to leave valuable feedback
• Increase PPC & landing page conversions with more qualified buyers
• Drive higher ad conversion through a more human appeal

“In marketing, you have to be where your customers are.”

— Denisa Dan
Global Marketing Campaign Manager, Veeam

Solution

Veeam has a very engaged user community, so they were able to drive a substantial amount of high-quality reviews very quickly. Once the reviews started rolling in, Veeam started using TrustRadius content to run tests across their marketing mix and beyond:

• Adding review quotes in PPC Ads
• Testing quote placement on landing pages
• Experimenting with quote widget design
• Amplify how Veeam products have improved users’ experience

Results 

Denisa and Maria wanted to prove that adding review content to marketing assets would increase conversion—and they were right. When adding TrustRadius quotes to landing pages, conversion rates increased by 2% to 12%. When testing WHERE on page review quotes were most effective, they found that when quotes were placed in the middle of landing pages, rather than at the bottom, they saw a double-digit increase in conversion rates.

“People want an unbiased reference point from someone who actually uses the product.”

— Maria Luisa Liuzzo
Global Product Marketing Manager, Veeam

What’s Next

The team at Veeam is dedicated to continuous growth and improvement. While they are still testing quote widget design, with positive results, they will also continue to test and iterate on integrating customer voice into ads and landing pages. Reviews aren’t just used for marketing at Veeam, they also use customers’ feedback to continuously improve their products, solutions and offering. The Veeam team is also planning to work on operationalizing intent data to enable sales, and sharing the power of TR across the organization.
