Why Use Pinterest For Marketing

12 replies
Some believe Pinterest is for pinning recipes and women's fashions. Though you can find them on Pinterest, it is also great for marketing and promoting your online business.

The members have above average income and spend twice as much as members on Facebook.

It is visual, so visitors can see an image of your product, as compared to text like Twitter.

You can link your boards directly to your website. They have a page rank of 8, so Google loves Pinterest, and what is better than free organic traffic from the #1 search engine.

To gain more traffic, use keywords in your board title and board description.

You can place all of your products on Pinterest including the price, which can be shown directly on the board.

Pinterest is another marketing tool to get more exposure for your online business.

    This is a VERY true statement! I posted "portfolio" images to my Pinterest page. Within a day I was contacted by a company who liked my work. I am now designing directly for them.

      The cool thing about Pinterest users is that they're already primed for shopping- so even if the engagement rates look lower than, say, Facebook, they are still probably more likely to buy.

      The whole Pinterest experience is pretty much akin to window-shopping and wishlist-making, anyway. Great for selling consumer products!

      A good majority of the Pinterest users are and were female however, that shoudln't stop anyone from using the site. The more internet marketers that use the site for good purpose, the more it will become associated with ecommerce and not just hobbies, recipes and fashion.
