Collect user-generated content
Brands can often play a part in people’s happy memories.

However, if your brand is only a few years old you can help your clients create new memories. Encourage customers to share pictures, videos, and texts with your brand. Ask clients to share pictures of how they use your product or how it’s present in their daily lives. Show your sensitive side and touch your followers’ hearts!
