How To Offer Pinterest Management To Clients

If you turn to Pinterest to search for vivid photos of new recipes, outfit ideas, or any creative inspiration then offering Pinterest management services might be for you!

DID YOU KNOW?

Pinterest started in 2010 as a social media app aimed to replace paper catalogs. Back then it was called Tote. Tote didn’t make it amongst the other social media apps because of its lack of in-app payment options due to the lack of technology at the time.

BECOMING PINTEREST

However, Pinterest users began saving (and sharing) items they liked, so when the creators of Tote saw how it was being used. They adapted and Pinterest adapted with them to become the visual search engine it is known as today.

Pinterest is an amazing platform for small businesses looking to reach their specific audience by showcasing their specific services, recipes, shop items, and blogs!

How Does Pinterest Work?

So, if you are thinking this sounds great, but I don’t spend a ton of time on Pinterest. How does Pinterest work?

When a Pinterest user finds a pin interesting they click it, share it, or Pin it (save it). The more popular pins get shown at the top of the screen giving it more ability to be seen by more and more people.

When that user clicks on the link in the pin, it opens to the business’s website–whether that is a blog post on the website, a landing page, a recipe page, a product page, etc. Which increases the traffic to the website.

This increased traffic converts new users to warm leads. After spending some time on that page or saving the pin, hopefully, that user will come back continuing them along the sales funnel to eventually make a purchase.
