Increasingly, shoppers look to friends and fellow consumers to inform and influence their purchasing decisions. According to a recent survey of more than 1,000 U.S. shoppers, 90 percent of respondents said UGC had some influence over their online purchases and 53 percent rated it “extremely influential” or “very influential.”

Moltin empowers retailers to maximize the potential of UGC by creating a direct path to purchase. It provides a fast, simple way to make user-generated content shoppable and drive tangible revenue through social channels. Results are measurable, as retailers can see exactly what content and which influencers are generating orders. It is ideal for lifestyle retailers and brands that have a highly engaged and loyal customer base.
