In this episode, Lucas and Luna examine how the outdoor apparel brand REI used its #OptOutside campaign to turn user-generated content into a revenue driver. They break down the specific mechanics: how REI invited customers to share photos of their outdoor adventures, curated the best submissions, embedded them into product pages and email sequences, and saw a 30 percent lift in attributed revenue from those pages. The conversation covers the editorial standards REI used to maintain brand quality, the technical setup that allowed UGC to be shoppable, and why authenticity beat polish in conversion rates. They also discuss the risks—moderation burden, inconsistent quality, and the fine line between empowering fans and exploiting free labor. This episode offers a concrete playbook for any brand wondering whether user-generated content is worth the investment, with real numbers and real trade-offs. #ContentMarketing #UserGeneratedContent #REI #OptOutside #MarketingStrategy #CustomerEngagement #SocialProof #ConversionRate #BrandAuthenticity #ShoppableContent #EmailMarketing #Moderation #CampaignROI #CustomerLoyalty #OutdoorIndustry #MarketingPodcast #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
