It shows exactly how a product or service provided a solution to someone else, so it&#8217;s easy for customers to see how it could help them, too.

It starts with identifying a customer that is a good representation of the target audience, soliciting feedback from that customer, and conducting research to gather data that pertains to both the person in the case study and the product or service as a whole. The more measurable, relevant data that is included in the case study, the more convincing it will be.<\/p>\r\n\t\t\t\t<p>The best case studies use <a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/kimberlywhitler\/2018\/07\/14\/3-reasons-why-storytelling-should-be-a-priority-for-marketers\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">good storytelling<\/a> to get the point across. Include sensory details, frustration points that others can commiserate with, and creative anecdotes to make the data more interesting to read.<\/p>\r\n\t\t\t\t<p>Feedback is also an important aspect of good case studies. Encourage leads to ask questions about the company, the products, or the services being outlined. This information can be used to make the current case study better, and it can be used to make sure important information isn&#8217;t overlooked when the next case study is being created.<\/p>\r\n            <\/div>\r\n        <\/div>\r\n\r\n    <\/div>\r\n<\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>C Case Studies Case Studies \u2013 Short Conceptual Explanation What case studies includes Effectiveness of case studies Tips for creating a good case study Case Studies \u2013 Short Conceptual Explanation A case study outlines how a product or service has helped a previous or current customer.
