Turn happy customers into testimonials you can actually use. SimpleVidz makes it easy for small businesses to capture video testimonials and signed media releases in one simple workflow. Your customer signs the release right on your iPhone or iPad, answers a few guided questions on camera, and the finished video lands in your library with the release attached. No follow-up emails. No chasing signatures. No wondering whether you have permission to post the footage. THE RELEASE COMES FIRST Every recording starts with the media release. Your customer fills it out and signs directly on your device before you hit record. The signed release, signature, and video stay connected, so you can quickly see which footage has permission to be published. A healthcare authorization option is also available for clinics and practices. GUIDED QUESTIONS Most people aren't sure what to say when a camera turns on. SimpleVidz gives customers suggested testimonial questions right on screen. You can also create your own questions for a specific service, product, project, or location. Customers answer one question at a time, helping you capture focused, useful testimonials instead of one long, rambling take. FOR THE JOB SITE OR THE FRONT DESK Record with the front or back camera on iPhone or iPad. Capture a testimonial right after the installation, workout, appointment, service call, closing, or purchase—while the experience is still fresh in your customer's mind. TRIM IT ON THE SPOT Remove dead air from the beginning or end of a clip, adjust the audio level, and preview the finished video before sharing it. No desktop video editor required. ORGANIZED BY PERSON SimpleVidz keeps clips grouped by the customer who signed the release. If the same customer records another testimonial later, their new clips stay with their existing story instead of becoming another disconnected file. CAPTURE THE MOMENT WHILE IT'S FRESH The best time to ask for a testimonial is often right after you've done great work. SimpleVidz gives you everything you need to ask, record, get permission, and save the story—before your customer walks out the door. Real customers. Real stories. Ready to share. SimpleVidz.
