The benefit of user-generated video, also known as user-submitted video, is it creates an emotional tie between your customers and your brand or campaign. It encourages your customers to become your ambassadors by interacting with them. That personal connection comes with asking them to engage
with your brand, and in this case, create a custom user-generated video. Another benefit is the potential for a vast amount of content to be distributed in a relatively short amount of time.

In most cases, a photo uploaded by the user is not perfect on the first try. That's why we include photo preview and repositioning functionality to enhance the customer experience and eliminate a lot of do-overs. The user can simply click and drag the image around within the box to get the perfect position.
Spread the word and ignite your viral marketing campaign. Every video comes with social media sharing buttons that makes it easy for users to share with their friends. We use the ShareThis social plugin to give you a huge selection to pick from. You can select as many social media platforms as you like, such as Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Pinterest, Google Plus, LinkedIn, Email, etc. We also use AddThis Analytics API for programmatic access to your sharing data. You can use the API to download reports and integrate them into your internal metrics dashboards and workflow. Learn more about our Minnesota social media company capabilities.
You'll have full administrative controls over all user-generated videos. We give you the option to include an internal review process to ensure all user-generated videos are appropriate and meet your company's standards before being made public. Each user-generated video is assigned a unique URL address. Once a video is submitted by the user, our review and approval process sends automated email alerts to key team members notifying them of a new video. A simple review step allows for quick approval or rejection. Automated customer-facing emails also notify the user throughout the process regarding the status of their video.
Our back end database is designed to require and capture important customer information you need to build a qualified lead list. Before a user can submit their photo, you can require them to complete and submit information about themselves, along with agreeing to your terms and conditions agreement. Customer information entered into the data fields is captured and stored in the database and can be easily downloaded into a spreadsheet or your CRM software. The information is also available at a quick glance online by your administrators.
We use dedicated servers with FFMpeg preinstalled to facilitate streaming video data on a Linux server and allowing conversion from one media file into another. There are several hosting companies and plans available and we can discuss the options with you.
