One of the easiest ways to increase the value of a UGC shoot is to plan for variations before production begins.

Film multiple hooks
Keep the main body of the video but capture several opening lines. This gives paid teams more combinations to test.
Capture cutaways
Product close-ups, hands, packaging, lifestyle scenes and reaction shots can be reused across multiple edits.
Create different lengths
A 45-second explanation can often become a 20-second version, a short hook and several story frames.

Think in content systems
The goal is not one perfect video. The goal is a small library of assets that can support a campaign for weeks.
