Tech talk let me tell you a story carhartts 125+ year ugc journey_turnto_cole

Notas del editor

  1. Why tell stories Key Storytelling Components What will good story telling bring? TA Notes: Carhartt was founded in 1889 by Hamilton Carhartt in Detroit, MI.  An independent thinker, an endless creator and most of all a believer in doing the never been done, Hamilton not only built a company, he built multi-generational friendships with consumers and retailers alike. We still pursue Hamilton’s original vision and mission by standing with and celebrating the values of hard work.
  2. Today Carhartt still inspires generations. Carhartt exist because these people have put their trust in our brand and this trust inspires us today.
  3. Story telling works when you are able to tell and authentic story. Stories cannot and should not be manufactured. When you tell authentic, engaging stories, higher conversion will follow. But where do you start? Maybe you do not have the same rich heritage? Storytelling works when you are able to tell an authentic story about the item/technology/brand your are selling. Stories cannot should not be manufactured, they should clearly explain the ‘Why’ When you tell an authentic, engaging stories, higher conversions follow. But where do you start? At Carhartt we start at the beginning..
  4. A large part of story telling is to understand the why. Hamilton Carhartt succeed because he started with the ‘Why’ in 1889. He spent time with railroad conductors and listened to their needs. Carhartt was born on this consumer insight and the recognition of a need, a want in the marketplace for better, quality goods.
  5. Everything we do is rooted in an idea born from a consumer insight. For great story telling to happen, we as marketers, we as storytellers need to understand this inspiration. We need to understand the intrinsic why?
  6. 80% of US shoppers say UGC is influential in their purchase decisions. This outranks search, promotional email and social.
  7. The influence of UGC could be what keeps the shopper on your site and away from your competitor. 81% of US shoppers say they would pay more for, and wait longer to receive products that featured UGC.
  8. A lot of this data and our UGC strategy is focused on building better user experiences for our shoppers and customers. The survey found that UGC increases purchase confidence, which can help to foster long-term brand engagement and loyalty. These authentic UGC interactions show the power of giving your shoppers and customer a way to not only engage and interact with your brand, but also with each other.
  9. I also want to include that we have Olapic and that we will be integrating onto our pdp
  10. I want to show you some of the unique ways we have expanded our UGC strategy beyond your standard review on your PDP.
  11. -Even with a mobile-first approach to review request emails, customers still had to click out of the email, leave the inbox and begin the review submission process. Not exactly friction-free. 75% increase in submission rates with Inbox Submissions. 1.6% completion rate on emails, now 2.8% completion rate with Inbox Submission.
  12. -Even with a mobile-first approach to review request emails, customers still had to click out of the email, leave the inbox and begin the review submission process. Not exactly friction-free. 75% increase in submission rates with Inbox Submissions. 1.6% completion rate on emails, now 2.8% completion rate with Inbox Submission.
  13. There are challenges that we all face in building our UGC resources and getting shoppers to participate. This survey by TurnTo found these top reasons shoppers say they haven’t submitted UGC. Let’s look at a few of the top reasons: -No Incentive: This doesn’t have to mean you give shoppers a promo code in exchange for a review. That can be an option for shoppers who have ignored your first few submission requests. Incentives could also be loyalty points or simply letting the customer know others have read their review or liked their product photo. -Time-consuming: find ways to streamline UGC solicitants, optimize UGC solicitations for mobile devices (Inbox Submissions) and look into shorter-format UGC options such as Checkout Comments -Haven’t been asked: Ask!
  14. Our products go beyond being apparel. They are an essential part of life for many of our customers. Carhartt is part of their work day. We help them to work harder and we want our customers to help us to help them.
  15. It’s not all work and no play. Carhartt is part of our customers’ lives. We are active, fashion, family. With this deep integration into the lives of our customers, we not only want to hear from them to learn how we can improve our products, but we also want to help them to connect to each other. When shoppers ask customer questions, when reviews are written, photos shared… all of these voices build stronger connections between consumers as well as enhancing our brand voice and giving our team valuable insights into how to improve our products and shopping experiences. We all have a story to tell and UGC provides the platform for these stores to be told.
  16. Prioritize placement of UGC stats directly below the product name and price point. Each UGC element links within the PDP to give shoppers quick access to ratings, reviews, questions, etc.
  17. “Review Summary” helps shoppers to get their bearings with the UGC that’s available for review. This also includes search options that queries reviews, questions and answers. There are also calls to action for customers to submit a review, view their preious posts or review additional purchases.
  18. Then there is the review itself. Now, who doesn’t love a 5-star rating with a positive written review?
  19. Not a bad review at first glance. Highly rated, nice qualifying ranking for durability, appearance, etc. The customer, however, wanted an SPF rating for the first. This not only gives our customer service team a chance to interact with the customer, but we can also share this feedback with our product and merchandising teams. Future product descriptions can include information about SPF ratings.
  20. UGC goes beyond reviews and marketing insights. It can be playful, evocative and project your brand voice in a way that is authentic and organic.
