Creating high-quality Instagram content can be time-consuming and resource-intensive. But there’s a way to engage your audience without having to pump out a never-ending <a href="https://www.sendible.com/insights/social-media-content-calendar-for-agencies">schedule of original posts</a>. Reposting stories, photos, and videos from your customers and other accounts is a great way to boost engagement and grow your following without creating fresh content every single time.&nbsp; 
Instagram is fully aware of this - its new cross-posting functionality has brought reposting to the forefront of users’ minds, leading to more interaction and a wider variety of content. In fact, <a href="https://www.semrush.com/blog/how-to-boost-your-video-marketing-campaign-with-user-generated-content/">engagement increases by 28%</a> when users can interact with a mixture of <a href="https://www.sendible.com/insights/user-generated-content-for-clients">user-generated content</a> (UGC) and brand messages.&nbsp; 
However, there are some limitations and rules about reposting on Instagram. It’s important to get it right so you don’t burn any bridges or violate any legalities.

According to <a href="https://business.instagram.com/">recent studies</a>: 
<ul> 
 <li> 90% of people on Instagram follow a business </li> 
 <li> 2 in 3 surveyed people say Instagram enables interaction with brands </li> 
 <li> 50% are more interested in a brand when they see ads for it on Instagram </li> 
</ul> 
This presents businesses with an opportunity to market their products to a more targeted and interested audience without spending an enormous amount of money on paid advertising. 
And since Instagram's API allows users to publish photos, videos, and multiple image carousels to an Instagram Business Profile using a third party platform (like Sendible), this makes it even easier for brands to take advantage of all Instagram has to offer.
