Engage your community and build trust authentically with user-generated videos
User generated videos engage communities and build trust in an authentic way. Boast helps districts collect user generated videos to use for marketing and promotional efforts.
Why you need user generated videos
When it comes to social media, authenticity matters. People want to engage with organizations that feel personable and native to the platform they’re on. User generated video content allows you to connect and build a following in a way that feels natural.
Benefits of UGC videos
Social proof
People are more likely to engage with an organization that other people already trust and endorse. User generated content is a powerful tool that demonstrates social proof.
Native content
Engaging people and building a following requires authenticity. By engaging citizens to provide user generated videos, districts can leverage UGC to build an online presence that feels natural and native.
Grow your following
People want to engage with districts that are down-to-earth and relatable. User generated content is one way you can create an engaging online presence and attract a strong following.
What is a user generated video platform?
User generated video platforms help districts request, collect, organize, and share UGC videos. Collected videos can then be pushed to social channels or a website, or downloaded to use in advertisements and marketing materials.
Why you need a user generated video platform
While it is possible to run a UGC campaign on a single social platform using a hashtag, or manually, it’s typically best to use a platform designed for collecting UGC videos.
This will give you the most control over the content you collect and how it’s distributed.
The best user generated video platforms allow you to create custom video capture forms, manage consent from submitters, own the rights to submitted content, and set up processes for sharing your user generated videos.
