Take Advantage of the Social Proof in User-Generated Content
User reviews help to cultivate trust and community, while driving sales for smart brands.
Internet users trust and love content created by other users. It’s highly shareable and engaging, but some marketers still miss out on the opportunity to take advantage of user-generated content. A report from Kissmetrics examines social proof and the opportunities it holds.

User-generated content lets you shine a spotlight on your customers’ good experiences with your brand, which then piques shoppers’ interest and influences their behavior throughout the buyer journey.
