Frequently Asked Questions

The Value of Real, User-Generated Content?

Real and Authentic customer reviews are an established method of building and maintaining trust in your brand. They are proven to attract convert and retain more customers than websites without them. Also, traditional marketing campaigns telling customers what to do are outdated. People want to connect to others just like them and will tend to trust real customers that have had real experiences with brands and their products.

This is why User-Generated content has become one of the fastest growing marketing tools. For brands, the future of marketing lies in using user-generated content to show authentic interactions and social sharing of real experiences. From these interactions will follow higher traffic, increased conversions, higher average transaction values and greater customer retention.


Why are Photo and Video reviews becoming so important?

Real people don't often have the time to sit and write essays … And what’s more, people even more rarely read them . But visual communication; both photographs and video clips are far more engaging for customers and can convey paragraphs of text in a single image. Much easier for people to relate to and interact with, than essays of text .

Allowing your customers to communicate how they want to and giving you control of the visual language of their communications is key to modern online brand management. Coca Cola recent had a success with an advertisement that consisted entirely of user generated clips. Real brands, real people, real experiences.
