| 0:00.0 | Carousels are one of the best ways to grow on Instagram. |
| 0:03.0 | And in fact, in 2025, they have a higher average engagement rate than Reels or single images. |
| 0:09.0 | And while Instagram Reels might average a slightly higher reach, Carousel Post can be a really powerful tool for reaching your existing followers, |
