Guide Tip: Prioritize UGC Collection Efforts

The influx of holiday shoppers coupled with heavier eCommerce traffic due to COVID means that brands have an unrivaled opportunity to convert new and returning customers alike into dedicated brand advocates.

The key to success? Plan in advance. Most holiday shoppers begin researching purchases as early as October. To prepare for this wave of potential customers, brands should double down on their efforts to collect customer reviews and photos in Q3 and early Q4. Reach out to shoppers post-purchase to ask for reviews and photos, and consider communicating via SMS to benefit from 66% higher conversion and engagement rates.
