UGC (User Generated Content)
UGC (User Generated Content) is content created by users featuring a brand's products or services, often shared on social media.
What is UGC?
UGC (User Generated Content) is content created by users featuring brands, products, or services. It includes reviews, photos, videos, testimonials, and social media posts created by customers rather than the brand itself.
This authentic content serves as social proof and helps build trust with potential customers.
Why is UGC important?
User-generated content is valuable because it:
- Builds authentic social proof
- Increases brand trust
- Reduces marketing costs
- Drives engagement
- Influences purchase decisions
Studies show that consumers trust UGC significantly more than brand-created content.
