Want more web hits and clicks, but don’t know why your content is missing the mark? We’ve got three words for you – User-Generated Content.
User-Generated Content, or UGC, is content created about your brand by customers who love your products, ethics or overall brand message. This content is then posted to their social media accounts and through other channels.
When we started the Content Studio at MHP/ Team SI, our main goal was to take what we know about social media and share it with the hope of helping others. It’s why we tell every client looking for high-performing content that one of the best things they can do to bolster their marketing strategy is to inspire UGC.
Savvy marketers often leverage UGC as part of their strategies, harnessing the power of user-created testimonials, reviews and social proof to promote their products or services. Because UGC delivers the most authentic experience for your audience, it can influence the purchasing decisions of other consumers and build trust between your business and customer base.
By creating memorable campaigns, products and content, your brand is empowering others to use their voices to share what makes your brand/product worth their attention – saving you time and money. Through unique perspectives and diverse voices, this content allows brands to reach wider audiences and send ripples into a variety of demographics.
Creating high-quality content can be expensive and time-consuming. We’ve all experienced frantic photo and video shoots while trying to stay under budget. It can be a high-stress environment. But hey, that’s how diamonds are formed. UGC avoids costly photo/ video shoots, minimizes stress and still produces valuable, diamond-tier content for your brand.
UGC can also be a bountiful resource for SEO performance. When UGC content drives clicks to unique landing pages or products, you’re going to see just how influential your audience is.
This isn’t just something we read about. We’re currently using UGC to help our clients catch the waves of the latest trends and surf to success with authentic content on their social media accounts.
