Drawing together some of the most cutting-edge insights from The Hive community, with a sprinkle of benchmarking and a healthy dose of practical tips.
Retailers face a dual challenge: building authentic brand narratives while also feeding the constant demand for fresh content across social platforms. How do you generate high-quality, relevant content across thousands of SKUs or multiple regions? And how do you do it at pace, without a dedicated team of content creators or an infinite budget?
This guide brings together insights from members of The Retail Hive community – this isn’t just theory about social media – it’s a practical playbook from retailers who are successfully scaling UGC and measuring its bottom-line impact.
