Enterprise Times: What this means for business?
To compete on the eCommerce marketplace, sites must have tools, applications and technologies to generate and sustain relationships with customers. Brands and retailers have to create smart, high-converting experiences that sustain relationships. Europe’s leading retailers are looking to user-generated content to drive engagement. The use of UGC in marketing strategies has almost tripled in the last ten years, driven by the rise of social media and the ease with which satisfied customers can create and share feedback. User-generated content (UGC) is a vital marketing channel — and it’s overhauling how brands view the customer journey. Hence the rise of Yotpo. The company joins more than 35 other vendors in Atlanta-based UPS’s Customer Technology Program. Since its 2003 inception, the program has helped small and medium-sized customers better compete by growing revenue, integrating technology, introducing efficiencies and reducing costs.
