How supplement leader HVMN used Archive's shoppable UGC feed to increase conversion by 17%

The Challenge

HVMN struggled to leverage its user-generated content (UGC) for marketing purposes. Despite having a large Instagram following, HVMN found it challenging to turn UGC into a successful sales tool on their website. They needed to find a way to display UGC directly on their e-commerce site to encourage customers through the purchase funnel and boost sales.

Solution

Archive's Shoppable UGC Feed helped HVMN showcase their best content on their e-commerce site and increase conversion by 17%. The widget transformed UGC into a sales tool by displaying social proof directly on HVMN's website.

HVMN is a leader in the performance-enhancing supplement and nootropics space. The brand frequently leverages user-generated content to increase website traffic and boost sales, but finding the right piece of content to move the needle was sucking up too much of their marketing team’s time and effort. Introducing Archive’s Shoppable UGC Feed allowed HVMN to easily showcase their best content on their e-commerce site, increasing conversion by 17%.

UGC Wasn’t Driving Sales or Inspiring Conversion

With nearly 47,000 followers on Instagram, HVMN gets a steady stream of user-generated content coming through the door. While inspiring a social media conversation about your brand is a challenge in itself, turning that content into a successful marketing tool is another story altogether.

HVMN was struggling to make effective use of their wealth of UGC. There was a disconnect between the brand’s social media success and their website, and their UGC strategy wasn’t inspiring conversion.

The brand also wasn’t sure how to best display their UGC directly on their e-commerce site to encourage customers through the purchase funnel. They set out to find a way to maximize the power of UGC as social proof, seamlessly add it to their website, and ultimately boost sales and drive revenue.
