What is user-generated content?

User-generated content (or simply UGC) refers to any content created by customers or other brand community members instead of the brand itself. For instance, UGC is when someone buys a product from your store, posts a photo or video, and shares it either on social media or directly with your brand.

While UGC comes in various formats, photos and videos are the most common in 2023. This is because visual content generates more viewer trust and interest, leading to more engagement and positive interactions.

What are UGC galleries?

A UGC gallery is a collection of photos and videos you've collected from your brand community. 

UGC galleries are visually appealing and interactive. But most importantly, they show your potential customers what your product looks like in real life. By browsing a UGC gallery embedded on your product page, customers can get a clear idea of how other people are experiencing your product and how it will fit into their day-to-day lives.

How can UGC galleries on product pages improve conversions?

Shoppers trust other shoppers more than they trust brands. Why? Because online, brands can polish their products to look a certain way, while real customers have no interest in making your product appear in a better light, both figuratively and literally.

UGC is a unique form of social proof because it’s authentic and showcases real experiences by real people. It’s social proof like no other, helping you close the gap between potential customers who are on the fence and those who are ready to buy from you.

Take our customer Pamo Design as an example. They added UGC galleries to their product pages and increased conversions by 12.54%!
