Install a Question answer community for brands interaction
The next way you could use user generated content is the combination of two hottest trends of the moment: The rise of user generated content and brand generated customized content. Q&A are one of the best ways to engage with the consumers online, with the consumers now calling the shots and dictating the conversation whatever they have had. These communities allow users to have their questions answered by the brands itself or by the other users who have previously purchased their products and services.

Every small little step that you take to build a strong relationship with your customers, they are more likely to refer their friends and family members to your brand when the time is right.
