“We wanted to include User Generated Content in our strategy because we believe that by showing off our brand through UGC, we can communicate a more immediate connection with our customers. Also, we love to see how people choose and style our pieces.”

Thanks to their User Generated Content integration, United Colors of Benetton is able to use the voices of their customers to express the brand’s principal beliefs to a larger audience. When new customers see images and videos of the Benetton community enjoying their designs, they too want to experience this connection to the brand’s promise of a brighter future, together.
Not only does their collection of UGC help the brand build stronger connections with their customers, it also provides real-life styling inspiration within their online buying journey.

“The Flowbox platform is very easy to use. We feel the filters and search bar inside the campaign management tool is really helpful to quickly find the best content, especially when you have a lot of posts published with your tag or hashtag, as we have. The most useful feature for us is the possibility to generate different widgets to use the UGC in different parts of the website. And of course the integration with our online catalogue that allows the user to shop the products seen in the content.”
“We have reached out to the support team several times in the past, especially for questions and concerns. The replies were always quick and clear, and they even took care of some issues in bulk for us, that would cost us a lot of time if done manually.”
