Testimonial Thank You Page Best Practices:

Make this text large and bold and use language like “Success!” to ensure they know that their submission is on it’s way to your company.

#2: Showcase your message, coupon, or giveaway instructions

Once you’ve confirmed your customers testimonial submission, the next essential part of your testimonial thank you page is your message. This message should include the information your customers are expecting to see by participating in your testimonial campaign. This includes the coupon or giveaway mentioned on your testimonial contest’s landing page. It could also simply be a couple more sentences to elaborate on your thank you message.

#3: Give them a next step

After your message you need to give your customer a next step. Maybe that is to check their email once your testimonial contest is over. It could also be a link to your testimonial page where their testimonial will appear. Give them the ability to navigate back to your website to view other information they may be curious about. The goal with a thank you page is to keep your customers engaged.
