This saves you the effort of choosing a custom schedule each time you add a post to your Instagram publishing queue.

Save time on graphic designing

The success of your Instagram marketing hinges on the visuals you create. But not every social media manager has the resources to create great visuals on a regular basis. Why use external tools for graphic design when you can save time and energy getting it done on your social media management tool?
