In today’s online world where most content is scripted, consumers look for authenticity and relatability. User-Generated Content (UGC) has become a great tool for brands looking to build trust and boost customer engagement. But creating UGC that resonates with your target audience is more difficult than it looks at first. It needs an understanding of your brand's voice, the creativity to write compelling scripts, and the technical skills to produce high-quality content. That’s why many brands choose to hire a team of professionals to take care of this process for them.
Why User-Generated Content Videos Boost Engagement
UGC videos have become a staple in marketing because they offer something that traditional ads can’t - and that is authenticity. UGC content actually hugely impacts purchasing decisions. Unlike ads, UGC feels raw and genuine, making it more relatable to viewers. This authenticity is what drives higher engagement rates and ultimately better conversion rates.
Social media platforms like TikTok and Instagram have also increased the popularity of UGC, which makes UGC videos an important component of a successful social media strategy.
UGC Builds Trust With Your Audience
Trust is the cornerstone of any successful brand-consumer relationship, and UGC is a great way to build it. When potential customers see real people using your products, it creates a sense of trust that’s hard to achieve with regular advertising.
The truth is... People trust products when they see others who already trust those products.
UGC (user generated content) is a great way to make people trust your products before they buy for themselves.
Have you ever bought something because you saw someone else got a positive result from that product? Perhaps you didn't even know the person, but you subconsciously trusted the product due to the testimony of a stranger.
This is the power of UGC.
Our UGC Video Creation Process
Creating effective UGC videos isn't just about hitting the record button on a camera or smartphone. It’s a process that involves several stages, each requiring expertise in a different field. Here’s a look into how GrowthSpurt can transform a brand’s vision into impactful UGC content:
Step 1: Strategy
Before the camera starts rolling, we work closely with the client to understand their brand, goals, and target audience. We develop a comprehensive video strategy tailored to the brand's specific needs, making sure that every piece of content aligns with your brand’s voice and objective.
Step 2: Scripting
Our in-house scriptwriters then take over, writing a compelling script that will resonate with the audience. This involves identifying hooks and solutions - elements that are important for grabbing the viewer attention and driving engagement.
Step 3: Call to Action
An effective product demo video doesn’t just end after showing the product, it should prompt the viewer to take the next step. Whether it’s clicking a link, signing up for a trial, or making a purchase, strategic placement of CTAs within the video can significantly boost conversions. Our team ensures that your video includes compelling CTAs that guide viewers toward the desired action.
Step 4: On-screen talent or Voiceover
Finding the right talent to feature in your UGC videos is a vital step. We have a network of skilled actors and voice actors who know how to deliver authentic performances. Our team handles everything from casting to location scouting, making sure that every detail is in place before filming begins.
Step 5: Filming
With the strategy and script, our production team will then get to work. We use high-quality equipment and professional techniques to ensure that the content, though it may appear “user-generated,” meets the highest standards of production quality. Including camera, sound and green screen equipment.
Step 6: Editing
After filming, the raw footage is handed over to our expert video editing team. They fine-tune the content, choosing the best shots, adding in music and sound effects to make sure the final product is ready to be uploaded.
Step 7: Review and Feedback
Before the video is finalized, we share it with our client for review. This collaboration ensures that the final product meets their expectations and aligns with their vision and brand. We will take any input and make adjustments to ensure the final product is exactly what the client wanted.
Step 8: Distribution
Once the video is finalized, we don’t just leave it at that. We can also help with strategizing the best platforms and times to release the product demo to reach the target audience.
As you can see, creating user generated content that truly resonates with viewers is a complex process involving a team of scriptwriters, actors, and editors - all working together and coordinating to produce content that not only looks authentic but also drives results.
