What is UGC?

User generated content (UGC) is authentic, trustworthy content posted by customers, fans, and your community. The power of UGC lies in how it reaches and engages the largest audience possible through network effects since it leverages the followings of real people across social. Tapping into this power takes no spreadsheets of individuals and no tracking contracts –  UGC is fueled by customers who choose to post and share about your brand.

Measure

Measuring UGC

Start by collecting data on all of your brand tags and mentions. How many do you get per day? Per month? This initial number can help benchmark where you fall among other brands in your industry. Then to understand the impact of UGC, you need to measure the audience reach by impressions of each post. LoudCrowd calculates this number automatically. 

For reporting purposes, you can assign earned media value (EMV) to UGC; for example [Impressions x 0.03] or $30 CPM (Cost per thousand – or the price of 1k ad impressions).  

 

Analyze

Analyzing UGC

Organic UGC – digital word-of-mouth referrals that are the most valuable and least expensive way to build brand awareness. Harnessing this digital channel is the largest opportunity for audience growth and exponential social reach. By analyzing your organic UGC, you can benchmark against the industry best and track segment trends. Then strategize growth by implementing social gifting or organizing an ambassador/influencer program.
