The power of visuals in storytelling is undeniable. In fact, today\u2019s consumers crave visually engaging experiences so much that brands are constantly battling against providing for this ever-increasing visual appetite.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/taggbox.com\/blog\/user-generated-content\/\">User-generated content<\/a> is helping brands sell more, as it is the next best thing after word-of-mouth marketing. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adweek.com\/performance-marketing\/why-consumers-share-user-generated-content-infographic\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">85% <\/a>of the people find UGC more compelling than brand-generated content, and close to half of the market leaders rely on it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But, as promising as this strategy might be, brands are constantly struggling to inspire their audience to create content that speaks of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you, too, have been looking for ideas that can help in the production of the UGC, then you have come to the right place. Keep reading to figure out which UGC creation strategy would work the best for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"why-is-ugc-important\">Why Is UGC Important?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The fact that compelling content prompts an instant response cannot be denied. But now marketers are stretched thin in the process of pondering upon and creating content that captivates the attention of consumers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here, leveraging UGC can potentially satisfy the growing content crunch and the appetite of the users for authentic content. Thanks to technology and social media, sharing opinions, experiences, and views has become so easy. This is an attributable reason why the behavior of the consumers has made a shift from being passive to active.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They look forward to experiences more than any brand-led selling tactic. Talking about numbers, <a href=\"https:\/\/taggbox.com\/blog\/user-generated-content-facts-and-stats\/\">73%<\/a> of the users consider transparency more important than the product price when it comes to investing in a brand. Showcasing UGC can potentially provide for this requirement of the user.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/taggbox.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/ugc-2-min.png\" alt=\"Encourage User Generated Content\" style=\"width:577px;height:246px\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>The need to leverage your users\u2019 voices to sell better is pressing for the following reasons:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Social media is influencing users at large. According to a report by Deloitte, the probability of consumers spending on purchases increases by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bizjournals.com\/bizjournals\/how-to\/marketing\/2015\/05\/how-social-media-influences-consumer-buying.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">4 times after checking<\/a> out a recommendation on social media.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/forbestechcouncil\/2022\/08\/16\/online-reviews-the-customer-reference-that-never-sleeps\/#:~:text=According%20to%20research%20on%20customer,four%2Dstar%20ratings%20or%20higher.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">70%<\/a> of the consumers consider reviews given by the users of the brand before making a buying decision.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.smartinsights.com\/content-management\/content-marketing-strategy\/5-ways-use-user-generated-content-in-marketing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">92%<\/a> of the consumers trust UGC over traditional methods of marketing.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Users appreciate and like to be a part of the journey of those brands that are humane in their marketing approach.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Users and the content created by them decide the future of the brand, as fetching trust is getting rather difficult, especially because the number of brands operating in a digital setting is growing at lightning-fast speed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hence, inspiring the creation of UGC and resourcing it further to various marketing touchpoints of the brand has become more important than ever.

Identify Consumer Trends<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When you have an overview of the visual content shared by your audience, the pattern and culture of your core audience become evident, and when you analyze the types of photos that your customers are sharing, you can strategize better.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But before you begin, here are a few points to consider:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Who do you think can probably share your content the most?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What do they share photos of? If there is any particular product or collection that is dominating the conversation?&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What is the location of your customers when they share content mentioning your brand?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Consider what situations inspire them to participate in content creation.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lastly, take note of the technicalities too. If they are tagging your brand naturally, or are they using your geotag? On which platform are they most active?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you have access to all this data, you can curate your <a href=\"https:\/\/taggbox.com\/blog\/create-successful-ugc-campaign\/\">UGC campaign<\/a> and repurpose this content across your marketing touchpoints.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For instance, if you showcase your UGC campaign even after having considered all the points, you can better inspire your audience into content creation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"2-add-digital-ctas\">2. Add Digital CTA\u2019s<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To encourage your users in content creation place powerful calls-to-action in places where your customers are most likely to engage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On Instagram, this can be your bio, location, tag, or in the caption. Other places are your website, other social media channels, blogs, etc.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/taggbox.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image-82.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1018\" height=\"508\" src=\"https:\/\/taggbox.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image-82.png\" alt=\"link in bio to get UGC\" class=\"wp-image-31441\" srcset=\"https:\/\/taggbox.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image-82.png 1018w, https:\/\/taggbox.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image-82-300x150.png 300w, https:\/\/taggbox.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image-82-768x383.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1018px) 100vw, 1018px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Additionally, you can also engage them at the most crucial points of the customer journey, your physical store. Showcase your UGC campaign on digital screens and the content generated by users using it to motivate viewers to create content around it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They might get motivated to document their shopping experience by looking at other users getting featured on the screens, which will further boost your brand\u2019s reach and awareness.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"3-tap-into-influencer-marketing\">3.

Host Hashtag Contests<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Giveaways have always been a common strategy to build awareness of the brand, spark the interest of the audience, and encourage them to participate in the contest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Businesses ask their followers to post on social media using their branded or any other specific hashtag, similar to a giveaway. In return for their efforts, brands reward the winners with a giveaway price.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/taggbox.com\/blog\/run-successful-ugc-hashtag-contest\/\">Hashtag contests<\/a> are a great way to engage audiences in your brand\u2019s activities while igniting conversations.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/taggbox.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/GoPro-1-1024x492-1-768x369.png\" alt=\"\" style=\"width:576px;height:277px\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Interestingly, you can use the UGC produced via the hashtag contest for later marketing purposes. Taggbox allows you to <a href=\"https:\/\/taggbox.com\/blog\/how-to-collect-ugc\/\">collect this UGC<\/a> and display it on your marketing touchpoints to further showcase your brand\u2019s authenticity and credibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"5-give-them-guidelines-around-content-creation\">5. Give Them Guidelines Around Content Creation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>According to statistics, More than <a href=\"https:\/\/merkleyandpartners.wordpress.com\/2016\/05\/20\/how-to-connect-with-consumers-via-user-generated-content-infographic\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">50%<\/a> of consumers wish that brands would tell them what kind of content to create and share.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore, brands can have set guidelines to encourage users to create content for them. This will also help you curate content as per your aesthetic and appeal requirements, which is what Daniel Wellington did and achieved great success on Instagram for their hashtag campaign.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Being specific will help you in receiving better content. Additionally, users create content based on their understanding of the brand and what they think the brand will repost or repurpose. If they know exactly what they need to do, they will be better inspired to create content.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"6-host-an-event\">6. Host An Event<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Although user-generated content is an effective way to create awareness around your products, it requires quite a lot of effort from the brands to be able to finally get users to create content from them. Here, hosting an event can ease your efforts.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Create an exclusive hashtag for your event and promote it to reach out to a wider audience. This will help in increasing the awareness of your event and gather more attendance.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"542\" height=\"366\" src=\"https:\/\/taggbox.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Screenshot-2021-07-27-at-3.20.08-PM.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-17039\" srcset=\"https:\/\/taggbox.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Screenshot-2021-07-27-at-3.20.08-PM.png 542w, https:\/\/taggbox.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Screenshot-2021-07-27-at-3.20.08-PM-300x203.png 300w, https:\/\/taggbox.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Screenshot-2021-07-27-at-3.20.08-PM-480x324.png 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 542px) 100vw, 542px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>The event attendees create and share pictures, which can be aggregated and <a href=\"https:\/\/taggbox.com\/ugc-on-digital-display\/\">displayed on event screens<\/a>. When others see people getting featured on screens, they will be motivated to further produce content. Hence, letting you have more UGC.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"7-create-hashtag-campaigns\">7. Create Hashtag Campaigns<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/taggbox.com\/blog\/hashtag-campaign\/\">Hashtag campaigns<\/a> are the ideal way to generate traffic on social media, fetch the attention of the audience, and inspire them to create content following the hashtag campaign.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/taggbox.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Screenshot-2020-09-21-at-10.46.21-AM-1-1.png\" alt=\"\" style=\"width:640px;height:363px\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Brands can keep up with the dynamism of the audience with exclusively created hashtag campaigns and initiate brand-user interactions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But while you brainstorm over your hashtag campaign or bring it into practice, take note of the following things:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Be Authentic and Unbranded<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Simply tweaking a hashtag isn\u2019t going to help you much. Be authentic, relevant, and unbranded to connect to your audience better.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another important point to note here is not to include your brand\u2019s name in the hashtag but to maintain relevance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Keep it Simple<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you remember any successful hashtag campaign that was difficult to pronounce? Assuming that was a clear \u2018no\u2019, keeping the name of your hashtag campaign easy to use and pronounce is indeed necessary to encourage more participation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"bg-dark bg-cover bg-pos-center rounded-3 p-4 mx-auto\" style=\"background-image: url(https:\/\/taggbox.com\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/taggbox\/images\/cta-image\/cta_back2.png); max-width: 820px;\">\n    <div class=\"row align-items-center\">\n        <div class=\"col-xl-6 col-lg-12 col-md-6 order-1 order-xl-2 order-lg-1 order-md-2\">\n            <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"img-fluid\" src=\"https:\/\/taggbox.com\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/taggbox\/images\/cta-image\/cta_image2.png\" width=\"575\" height=\"472\" alt=\"image\">\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"col-xl-6 col-lg-12 col-md-6 order-2 order-xl-1 order-lg-2 order-md-1\">\n            <h3 class=\"fs-26px text-white mb-3\" id=\"make-your-next-hashtag-campaign-successful-with-ugc\">\n                Make Your Next Hashtag Campaign Successful with UGC\n            <\/h3>\n            <button class=\"btn btn-lg btn-primary\" data-bs-toggle=\"modal\" data-bs-target=\"#ugcFromModal\">\n                Book a Free Demo\n            <\/button>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"8-give-credit-while-reposting-on-social-media\">8.
