How to Turn Shoppable UGC Into Always-On Conversions
Sep 4, 2025
The Shift in Influencer Marketing
If you’ve ever sent out products to creators, you know the routine: they post a quick story or TikTok, it gets some likes, and then… it disappears. You’re left chasing screenshots and trying to justify the spend.
Influencer marketing has evolved. It’s no longer about celebrity endorsements, in the social media driven world today, UGC (user-generated content) carries more weight than polished ads. The challenge? That UGC lives on someone else’s platform, not yours.
What you really want is a way to keep that content working longer than 24 hours, with proof you can show your team or your boss. The solution lies in owning the influencer content pipeline and making it convert directly on your site.
Why Shoppable UGC Belongs on Your Website
Most brands treat influencer content as top-of-funnel. It drives awareness, maybe some clicks, but the sale usually happens elsewhere (if at all).
Here’s why bringing UGC in house changes the game:
Control the customer journey: No losing shoppers to Instagram or TikTok.
Always-on selling: Your best influencer videos don’t expire after 24 hours, they keep driving conversions.
Proof in context: Customers see real people using your product right when they’re ready to buy.
Put interactive contents like this on your website to sell your products.
Step 1: Streamline Gifting to Scale UGC
You don’t want another messy system of DMs, spreadsheets, and shipping mishaps. What you want is simple, repeatable, and scalable.
That’s where Influencer Gift Form (IGF) comes in:
Send branded product-selection forms directly to influencers.
Auto-generate Shopify draft orders (no manual entry).
Collect rights upfront so you can reuse videos everywhere without legal headaches.
Step 2: Showcase UGC Where It Converts
Once content comes back, don’t let it die on TikTok or Instagram. You want tools that make it shoppable, permanent, and measurable.
That’s what Terrific is built for:
