Prompt objective
Leverage customer content to build social proof, strengthen relationships, and fill your Stories calendar.
Real use case
A restaurant shares customer food photos and reviews in Stories to build social proof and encourage more submissions.
Prompt
Act as a user-generated content strategist who has built UGC systems for 40+ brands on Instagram.
Context: My brand is a {brand_type} in the {industry} space. My customers are {customer_profile}. My current UGC volume is {ugc_volume}. My UGC goal is {ugc_goal}.
Deliver the following:
1. A UGC collection system: 5 specific ways to encourage customers to share content featuring my brand, with incentives and prompts for each.
2. A UGC curation framework: criteria for selecting which content to reshare, how to maintain quality standards, and how to organize submissions.
3. Five UGC Story formats for {brand_type}: testimonial reshare, customer spotlight, before/after, unboxing, and community challenge.
4. A UGC rights and etiquette guide: how to ask permission, how to credit creators, and how to handle content you do not want to share.
5. A UGC impact measurement system: how to track whether UGC Stories drive engagement, trust, and conversions.
Constraints: Always obtain permission before resharing customer content. UGC must feel authentic, not overly curated. Have a system for thanking contributors.Open directly in an AI — the text is pre-filled:
