What is UGC?

User-generated content (UGC) refers to content created by customers, such as photos, videos, or reviews, in which they share their experiences with a brand's products or services. This content can be spontaneous, created and shared by customers on their own initiative, or it can be commissioned UGC, where brands ask customers or content creators to produce material suitable for marketing purposes.

Why is UGC important for companies?

UGC has many advantages that make it a valuable part of a company's marketing strategy:

1. Authenticity and trust
   Over 80% (*) of consumers trust user-generated content more than content created by the brand itself. This authenticity makes UGC a powerful tool that increases trust and interest in a brand's products and services.

2. Social Proof
   When other customers share their positive experiences, UGC acts as social proof that the product or service is high quality. This can create psychological pressure and encourage new customers to try the products. Social proof is a key factor in customers' decision-making process.

3. Brand loyalty and community
   UGC helps strengthen relationships between customers and the brand. When customers see that the content they create is getting attention, they feel like they are part of the brand's community. This increases brand loyalty and engagement, which is valuable for long-term customer relationships.

4. Cost-effectiveness
   UGC is a much more affordable option compared to traditional marketing campaigns. Since customers voluntarily create and share content, production costs remain low, while at the same time generating broad visibility on social media.

How can UGC be utilized in a company's marketing?

User-generated content is a cost-effective way to produce high-quality and authentic marketing material for multiple platforms, such as Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook. UGC content production does not rely on the follower count of influencers, but rather the content creator produces ready-made material for the company to share on its own channels.

• Photos and videos can be used in the company's social media channels and paid advertising campaigns.
• Reviews and recommendations add credibility and increase customers' trust in the brand.

This approach allows the company to generate a large amount of tailored and targeted content that reaches the right audience while keeping marketing costs under control. By utilizing UGC, a brand can stand out from competitors and increase both visibility and sales at a low cost.
