User generated content is one of the most effective ways to promote your trade show.  By creating unique and compelling pieces users can help you by becoming advocates for your Exhibit Rental products.  The great thing about UGC is that in order for someone to create it, they have to demonstrate why they like your products or services in their own words.

1) Product Reviews

Creating a space on your website or blog for customers to leave reviews is a great way to collect user generated content.  Make sure to ask customers to leave their product/ services experience in as much detail as possible.  Not only will this help future customers, but it will help you improve your brand authority .

2) Showcase your Customers

Feature your customers on your website or blog by photographing them using your products and services.  Ask them to write a brief statement about their experience.  This is a great way to humanize your brand and give your customers a chance to share their story.

3) Video Testimonials

Creating short video testimonials is a great way to collect user generated content.  Ask your customers to talk about their experience using your products/ services and what they like best.

4) Photo Contest

Running a photo contest is a great way to collect user generated content while also engaging your audience.  Get your customers involved by asking them to submit photos of how your products/ services are being used.

5) Fan Photos

Ask your loyal customers to submit photos of themselves using your Exhibit Rental products/services.  This is a great way for you to create unique content and your users can help you demonstrate your use cases by submitting photos.
