FAQ

What is the ideal length for a mini customer case study?

Between 150 and 300 words. That's enough to cover the 4 essential building blocks — context, problem, solution, result — without losing the reader. Beyond 400 words on a social network or in an email, the read-through rate drops sharply.

Does a mini case study replace a traditional customer review?

No, the two are complementary. A customer review is a sentence or two — emotional and immediate. The mini case study adds context and a measurable result. Use the review as a hook, then point readers to the mini case study for prospects who want to know more.

Do you need the client's permission to publish a mini case study?

Yes, always. Send a simple message: 'I'd like to share our work together as a short case study. I'll show you the text before publishing.' Most clients agree, especially when they're portrayed positively. Some will request anonymity — simply replace their name with their industry.
