Overall Satisfaction with Emplifi Social Commerce Cloud

We utilize the User Generated Content sourcing tool within Emplifi (previously Pixlee.) The tool enables us to source photos across our large portfolios of brands and to request permission to use the images in an easy & seamless manner. Due to legal concerns, we need written approval prior to using any images and the tool makes it easy to save those permissions for future use should they ever need to be reviewed.
  • User Generated Content
  • Content Library
  • UGS searching for images that may not necessarily tie to one brand (i.e. more generic images)
  • Increased email CTR rate on sends that included UGC widgets
  • Increased dwell time on landing pages featuring UGC carousels
  • Increased engagement rate on Facebook and Instagram when the images shared were UGC sourced vs stock or creative team provided
We found the UGC component of Emplifi to be relatively intuitive and easy for new users to adopt, resulting in increased usage and efficient time spent on the platform. Increased adoption impacted our overall marketing programs because we are able to find better/more images and use them to support our messages and campaigns.
We have used Sprinklr to source UGC content as well, but found the platform to be much more time intensive when searching for the desired images. Additionally, Emplifi's UGC tool has incremental tools the other platforms do not provide, including the ability to share images on digital screens within the property and put carousels on our websites.

We have only used the User Generated Content component of the Emplifi Social Commerce Cloud so I am not able to speak to the overall platform's other capabilities. However, we found the UGC tool to be relatively intuitive and easy for our teams & agencies to use with limited training and hand-holding. The tool enabled us to use the content we found in more creative and robust marketing methods, including (but not limited to) adding photo galleries to our websites, sharing the photos on digital screens within the property and adding images to our email templates. These additions increased engagement with our consumers and gave our brands a more genuine feel, which is always critical in today's marketing atmosphere.
