Using UGC to Drive Sales: Introducing Sprinklr Gallery

I recently got a new watch that I’m really excited about.

It first caught my eye in a crowded store. I snapped a photo to remember the brand, then moved on. Come Christmas, my wife asked me what I wanted and I thought about that watch. But I wasn’t sure if I liked it enough – based on just one glimpse – to fully commit. So I took to social to see how it looked on other customers, browse other styles, and finally make my decision.

And it turns out that my path to purchase isn’t at all unique.

Countless times a day – at least 25% of all purchases, according to one study – shoppers turn to user generated content (UGC) before pulling the trigger. The same study found over 75% of consumers find UGC more trustworthy than traditional ads. No wonder customer testimonials have long been a go-to marketing tactic – brands want to show “real” people with real enthusiasm. The problem, as you’ve noticed, is that it rarely looks natural if you have to pay someone to say it.

Social media, however, is a rich repository of the real thing – customer advocacy in its purest and most compelling form.
