01 — The Opportunity

The Query & Why It Was Worth Pursuing

A journalist on Featured.com asked brand managers: how often do you use UGC, and can you prove measurable results? Most pitchers would skip this for Electric Wheelchairs USA — a medical mobility company, not a marketing agency.

But the real question was: does UGC actually move buying decisions? Electric Wheelchairs USA had direct operational proof. That was the angle.

Original Journalist Query

"For brand managers and general marketers: How often do you rely on user-generated content in your marketing campaigns? Are you able to provide measurable results of its effectiveness?"

No product image is able to convert as well as an actual customer image in medical products.
I have found through my experience as Managing Director of Electric Wheelchairs USA that user-generated content (UGC) is not a supplemental marketing tool but rather the only form of content that can actually drive buyer movement. A real customer photo showing true independence and mobility will do something a staged product shot never will be able to do. Customer-generated content is five times more likely to convert than professional images in our industry, and the conversion gap feels much greater.

All of our highest converting product pages are completely void of any brand-produced imagery. Only real customers, real results, and real mobility appear on these pages. When we stopped competing against our customers for attention, and instead chose to feature their content our conversion rates improved almost immediately.
— Kellon Ambrose, Managing Director, Electric Wheelchairs USA
