Vyrill releases industry first research on the correlation between user-generated content and auto sales

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 18, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Vyrill has released the first of its kind auto research focused on user-generated video content (UGVC).  Vyrill evaluated organic and paid non-branded light-truck videos created by consumers during the first half of 2018.  The findings identify the percentage of authentic (non-paid) influencer videos produced for each of the major light-truck brands in the United States. 

"We all know Americans love their trucks.  We also know authentic video reviews from everyday drivers have a massive impact on the buying decision process.  Therefore, we wanted to see if there was a coloration between the percentage of videos posted and the percentage of vehicles sold.  As the findings show, the Ford F-150 is not only the leader when it comes to sales, but also in Americans posting videos about their favorite truck.  In fact, 41% of all light-truck UGVC posted in the first half of 2018 was for the Ford F-150.  This is approximately 9 points higher than Ford's sales volume percentage.  As we are tracking information for the auto-category we see a similar correlation between UGVC and sales volume against all vehicle types," says Ajay Bam, co-founder and CEO of Vyrill.
