Guestbooks beat testimonials

Why I ask clients to write a line in a guestbook instead of a review.

A testimonial request feels like homework. A guestbook line feels like signing a card.

The lines are shorter, warmer and far more specific. Somebody wrote about the bag, not the brand strategy, and that told me more.
