Pinterest for Business, An Intro

May 22, 2013 By Emily Ho 2 Comments

Last week I collaborated on a webinar with Lucas Equine Equipment sharing how their clients can leverage Pinterest for their business. This particular group was architects, but there are so many broad applications for Pinterest no matter what industry. Many people think Pinterest is just a fun time-wasting site where women just pin pretty things. It might have started out like that, but more savvy bloggers and businesses are learning how to leverage Pinterest as a top social website referral source.

Pinterest for Business: A Series

Over the next few weeks, I’ll share some more information about using Pinterest for Business. As a network, Pinterest knows its value, and has added some great features specifically for business accounts, including Pinterest Analytics and as announced today, Rich Pins.

Here’s a great infographic detailing Pinterest statistics: how many people use it, and how they interact:

In coming weeks, we’ll discuss:

  • Ways to use Pinterest
  • How to find followers
  • Ideas for integrating into existing marketing campaigns
  • Tools for analyzing the effectiveness of your Pins

For now, consider signing up for a Pinterest Business account (it’s free, no worries!). If you already have a Pinterest account but it’s a personal account and you want it to be a business account, you can convert it without any problem. You’ll need to place a tracking pixel onto your website so Pinterest can accurately report the analytics information: that’s as painful as setup gets.

Let me know what questions you have in the comments and I’ll make sure to address them in future blog posts in this series.

    Emily – I’m so excited about this series! I love Pinterest, but I have no idea how to integrate it as part of my business. In particularly, when to pin things from my own site, how to repin others’, how to capture and audience, and what to really use Pinterest for (in general and specifically). In particular, when you’re not in a “graphic” business realm. I can’t wait to see your answers!!!

Instagram post 2012833286610854995_7340119050 Want to know 5 ways to save your influencer outreach from the trash? See @authemmie's guest post over at @spinsucks - link in bio. After 9 years of receiving a lot of really bad outreach emails as an influencer, she has some opinions! ☕️
.
Tip 1: Engage before the ask! One way to do this is to turn on post notifications for your targeted influencer list, and engage when they post. This very basic step can help raise your visibility before sending that ice cold outreach.
