Why Every D2C Brand Needs a UGC Ad Strategy on Shopify (2025 Playbook)

n 2025, traditional ads are losing trust. Customers don’t want to see models—they want to see real people using real products. That’s why UGC (User-Generated Content) is the #1 ad format that D2C brands are using to grow sales on Shopify.

At WebInterest, we build UGC-led Shopify funnels that deliver 3x–6x ROAS. In this guide, we’ll show you how to implement UGC ads that convert visitors into buyers.

📸 What Is UGC and Why Does It Work?

UGC is content—images, videos, reviews—created by your actual customers or influencers, not your internal team.

🔥 Why it works:

• Feels authentic

• Breaks scroll on social media

• Builds trust immediately

• Creates relatable proof of your product’s value

📊 Meta says: UGC ads outperform studio creatives by 47% in CTR and 62% in ROAS.
