How to Embed Testimonials on Beehiiv Newsletters
Newsletters thrive on trust. When a new reader lands on your Beehiiv subscribe page, seeing testimonials from existing happy readers can be the difference between a bounce and a new subscriber.
While email clients (like Gmail or Outlook) don't support interactive JavaScript widgets directly inside the email body, you can still use KudosWall to power your social proof on your Beehiiv website and in your newsletter blasts.
Option 1: Adding Testimonials to Your Beehiiv Website
Beehiiv allows you to customize your publication's website. To add a Wall of Love:
- Go to your Beehiiv Dashboard and select Settings -> Design Lab.
- Choose the page where you want to add social proof (e.g., the Home page or a dedicated "Love" page).
- Add a Custom HTML block.
- Paste your KudosWall embed code into the block and save.
Option 2: Using Testimonials in Newsletter Emails
Since emails can't run JavaScript, you can't embed the live widget directly. However, KudosWall makes it easy to include social proof in your blasts:
- Screenshot & Link: Take a high-quality screenshot of your favorite video testimonial or the Wall of Love and embed it as an image in Beehiiv. Link the image to your public KudosWall "Wall of Love" page.
- Direct Link: Add a "What readers are saying" section in your footer with a link to your verified Wall of Love.
The Beehiiv + KudosWall Advantage
By using KudosWall, you can collect video testimonials from your readers, which carry much more weight than simple text. You can even include these video links directly in your Beehiiv posts to build massive credibility with your audience.
