2. Leverage UGC (User-Generated Content)

UGC builds trust. It’s cheaper than influencer marketing and often more effective.

Run giveaways that ask for tagged posts.
Repost customer stories or testimonials.
Create a branded hashtag challenge.

📈 UGC can increase engagement rates by 2x to 4x on platforms like Instagram and TikTok.

Use tools like Modash find Shopify-relevant creators.
Offer affiliate commissions or free products in exchange for shoutouts.
Focus on long-term relationships, not one-offs.

5. Time Your Promotions with Smart Content Planning

Running a flash sale or product launch? Don’t wing it.

Use a content calendar to align emails, socials, and blog content.
Schedule posts that lead into your sale (pre-hype, teaser, urgency, social proof).
Post strategically—not randomly.

That’s exactly what Brevue helps you do—plan campaigns around your actual products.

6. Collect and Use Customer Data for Personalization

We don’t mean invading customer privacy, instead, we are talking about using customer feedback to tailor experiences for them.

Use post-purchase surveys to learn what your customers want.
Segment email lists by product interest or behavior.
Run loyalty campaigns that reward specific actions (like social shares or reviews).

7. Retargeting Done Right

Ads aren’t dead. But they’re smarter now.

Retarget based on content engagement (not just product views).
Try TikTok Spark Ads using your own UGC.
Use Meta’s Advantage+ Shopping Campaigns to scale winners.

Final Thoughts

Marketing your Shopify store in 2025 is less about hacks—and more about consistent, customer-first storytelling. Whether you're creating content, running ads or building a blog, your strategy should revolve around the value your products bring.
