Collecting Customer Photos

Encouraging your customers to post product photos on social media with branded hashtags or mentions is an effective way to gather content.

However, if you want to truly accelerate participation, running a Photo Contest can generate incredible engagement.

With our Photo Contest Template, you can offer a prize and invite users to submit their product photos for a chance to win.
