6 UGC ideas you can start integrating into your marketing strategy

You down with UGC? Yeah, you know me!

User-generated content (UGC) is any type of content that’s created by a brand’s followers, product users or consumers. ⁣
⁣
⭐️ Why is this important? Because a personal recommendation is the gold-star of product marketing! ⭐️⁣

What have I said time and time again? Trust is COMPELLING.

In fact, 85% of consumers find UGC more influential than brand photos or videos.
⁣
To help you get started or give you a fresh idea, here are 6 UGC ideas you can start integrating into your marketing strategy today: ⁣

1️⃣ Post and share user product reviews. Testimonials go a long way. ⁣⁣

2️⃣ Host a UGC-focused contest. Who doesn't love a little competition? #CanonFanPhoto has over 450,000 submissions. ⁣
