User Generated Content

UGC is content created by consumers an publicly available online to other users - demonstrates value, adds credibility, and sparks online users’ interest in a brand

A note on followers…You may have a lot of followers (or simply want more), but we’ve found that it doesn’t mean that your followers are actually listening to you. You can’t do anything substantial from a business perspective with an apathetic audience.

Follower psychology• Why do people follow an account?

• Repeatedly interesting content• Attractive association with brand • Brand is interactive with audience

By investing in TINT, you already see the power of social media marketing and leveraging UGC. With that said, there’s a serious danger of confusing your following with disjointed campaigns with no foreseeable timeline.

Ways clients map out their campaigns • Seasonally• Aligned with product releases• Holidays• Trending events (i.e. Super Bowl, election seasons), etc.

Social media users participate at higher rates during these times and anticipate brands are paying closer attention.

hashtag)

• If you’ve decided to recycle an existing hashtag, you can be strategic about making the pre-existing associations work in your favor. Use tools like hashtagify.me to check out existing associations with your hashtag, including a graph of influential or power users of the hashtag.
