In Nosto, you have available six different Dashboards that look at the impact of your UGC campaigns.
The big questions to address answer are:
Are people seeing my Widgets?
Are people interacting with my Widgets?
How are people interacting with my Widgets?
How much have we saved on content production since implementing UGC?
How does the average time it takes to publish our UGC content compare to the time it takes for our original brand content?
Which products, brands, or categories most frequently appear in our UGC?
We used these questions to come up with several metrics to address them.
