What is user-generated content?

User-generated content (also known as UGC or consumer-generated content) is original, brand-specific content created by customers (at no cost to you) and published on social media or other channels. It comes in many forms, including images, videos, reviews, and testimonials.

79% of people say UGC highly impacts their purchasing decisions (Nosto)

Make the most of user-generated content:

Actively prompt customers to share

Start a trend, challenge, or contest. Creating a hashtag and actively using it is another way to promote customers to take part.

Reward customers for sharing

The opportunity to get featured on a brand’s social media is a great incentive in itself. But a rewards system can accelerate participation in creating UGC.

Implement best practices

Follow practices like asking for permission before using your customer's content. Also, remember to have a proper strategy to use UGC.

Top ways to showcase user-generated content:

Ads

Use customer content to make your advertising more authentic and relatable, whether you’re creating ads for social, web, or any other format.

Website

Take your customer photos outside social media by including them on your website in gallery format. Consider using customer content in product photos.

Email Campaigns

The emails you share can provide another opportunity to feature user-generated content and engage your subscribers.
