| Resumo: | Internet changed the way that people search for information and buy products. Studies about user generated content (UGC) demonstrate that consumers tend to rely more on user-expressed experience, than professional opinion. The popularization of social media allowed people to share a lot more their impressions about products and services in their private channels. Their motivations, aligned with the digital environment, have changed the way they look for content and make decisions. The fast development of social media allows consumers to share their purchase and user experiences online. Since everything can be shared, it is even more difficult for marketers to control the digital content.

The eligible population for this study was the population living in Portugal and results showed a positive association between the satisfaction levels of people that based the purchase on video-reviews. |
