  • Builds trust since recommendations from real people are more genuine and credible.
  • Enhances engagement by involving loyal customers in your brand’s journey.
  • Drives retention as customers feel more valued and connected to your brand.
  • Creates authentic content through user-generated posts, reviews, and testimonials.
  • Expands reach by tapping into the personal networks of your loyal customers.

Cons

  • Time-consuming to identify and recruit the right ambassadors for your brand.
  • Requires ongoing management to keep ambassadors motivated and aligned with your brand values.
  • Potential risks if an ambassador behaves in a way that is not consistent with your brand image.
