When the customer speaks, everyone believes, or how to take advantage of the user-generated content boom. How written or visual content can help brands?<\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

User-generated content is any written or visual content that someone creates to promote various products or services online. More and more companies are now relying on it because they’ve realised that the most convincing boost to their sales comes from the positive words of their satisfied customers.<\/p>\n

User-generated content can include:<\/p>\n

– Social media posts featuring images or videos of real people enjoying a product<\/p>\n

– Video testimonials of customers talking about products or their long-standing relationship with a company<\/p>\n

– Reviews of companies on websites like Google, Facebook, etc.<\/p>\n

– Live streaming of people unboxing products.<\/p>\n

Again this year, the number of people using social media for online purchases is on the rise. In this regard, user-generated content is genuine product content that can easily convince your potential customers to purchase your products or services.<\/p>\n

Lindsay Heppner, the co-founder of Vampped, an influencer marketing agency in Los Angeles, believes that “The direction is social commerce. We’ll get to the point where every user on a particular social network will have a unique feed where they only get product suggestions based on their preferences.”<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

User-generated content is vital in online stores on social platforms because brands are realising that much more important than any influencer posts is valuable content that is strategically placed to raise a positive buzz around their brand.<\/p>\n

According to Deloitte’s 2022 Digital Media Trends Report, which summarises a survey of 2,000 US consumers and 4,000 consumers from Brazil, Germany, Japan and the UK, Generations Y (those born since the 1980s) and Z (those born between 1995 and 2010) are spending more time reading or watching user-generated content. Four in ten U.S. respondents indicated that they watch more user-generated video material than TV shows and movies on video streaming platforms.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

More than 92% of consumers trust brands that use user-generated content in their marketing campaigns.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

User-generated content also continues to drive influencer marketing, which is based on ROI. As more brands look to influencer campaigns that can deliver them a high ROI, they will use influencers who are their customers to rely on for truthful, not boring, advertising content. In the long run, this can become a surefire way for brands to sell more products and stand out from their competitors.<\/p>\n

Companies invest in content creators<\/span><\/h3>\n

Content creators aren’t just people who use a particular platform. They drive the success of the platform by creating and encouraging user engagement. Some platforms looking to retain both influencers and their followers have already announced new features that give content creators more control. For example, YouTube announced monetisation for short-form videos (in an attempt to lure influencers away from TikTok), and Instagram and TikTok added subscription services. Platforms are investing in tools to motivate and engage influencers.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Why bet on user-generated content?<\/span><\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. The numbers speak for themselves. 70% of consumers read product reviews and ratings before completing their purchases. At least 41% of them read 4 to 7 reviews to get to know the product better.<\/li>\n
  2. When companies incorporate user-generated content into their marketing campaigns, their customers become their face. And when said customers see relevant campaigns with their content in them, they identify more with the brand and become loyal customers. So there’s also a much higher chance of them creating more user-generated content for you.<\/li>\n
  3. You save huge amounts of money on building a creative team, creating marketing content and running marketing campaigns if you rely on user-generated content.<\/li>\n
  4. User-generated content evokes emotions because it is personal and created from emotions. Users get annoyed by being urged to buy something. Instead, they want to experience creativity and originality that gets them excited.<\/li>\n
  5. User-generated content represents the brand in a truthful way. It therefore has a 70% greater chance of influencing consumers than any other traditional form of advertising and also increases brand trust.<\/li>\n
  6. User-generated content can be extremely useful for SEO rankings on official brand websites and social media content. Using this content on a website can increase user engagement, and it is one of the best SEO ranking factors.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    How to make a campaign with user-generated content?<\/span><\/h3>\n

    Of course, there’s no one-size-fits-all recipe, but we do suggest you follow a few basic steps in organising and running your campaign.<\/p>\n

    To begin with, clearly define your goal<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

    Set a specific and achievable goal that will be useful to you in the present moment and whose results you can measure. For example: to increase your brand awareness, increase visits to your website, etc. The specific goal will also give you an idea of what type of content to look for.<\/p>\n

    Then, decide which social networks are most relevant for your current campaign. If Facebook offers short videos, blog posts and content tailored to the interests of each specific user, Instagram is characterised by quality photos, quotes, stories and r\u0435els. Twitter is not very popular in our country, but LinkedIn already is with its posts, company news and content aimed at professionals.<\/p>\n

    It’s important to select the most relevant user-generated content for your specific purpose. This could be user reviews, their posts with eye-catching photos on social media, or you could organise a competition between users for the most original content by rewarding them with a prize. Don’t overlook your own employees and even partners who can create similar.<\/p>\n

    Don’t forget to use hashtags specifically created for your brand to increase your social media presence. Through them, you’ll also be able to convey the messages you want to in still with your brand, and customers can click on them and come across other content about it from other customers, thus they can gradually feel part of a community.<\/p>\n

    Ask your customers what they think of your products on social media, and don’t worry about the inevitable negative comments either – there are bound to be more positive ones, and you can share them on your other social media if you see fit. Just tweak the campaign as required by the other social media.<\/a>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
