Using User-Generated Content Well

User-generated content, or UGC, is content created by customers: reviews, photos, videos and social posts. It is authentic, persuasive and often more trusted than brand-produced material.

Why UGC works

People trust other customers. Seeing real people use a product reduces uncertainty and shows how it fits into everyday life.

Ways to collect UGC

  • Ask customers for reviews after purchase.
  • Create a branded hashtag and invite sharing.
  • Run campaigns or challenges.
  • Feature customers who tag the brand.
  • Ask for testimonials after successful projects.

Where to use it

  • Email: customer photos in product emails, reviews in abandoned-cart reminders.
  • Website: product pages, testimonials, galleries.
  • Social media: reposts and customer spotlights.
  • Ads: authentic creative that often outperforms polished visuals.

Permissions and rights

Always ask for permission before reusing customer content, credit the creator and follow platform rules. Keep a record of approvals.

Quality and moderation

Select UGC that represents the brand well and is relevant. Never edit reviews to change their meaning.

Turn UGC into campaigns

oceanone's social content team helps agencies build UGC programmes for their clients.
