Pinterest Marketing Ideas

Pinterest is a popular social media platform that offers businesses the opportunity to promote their products and services to millions of users. Here are some effective Pinterest marketing ideas to help your business grow:


  1. Create engaging boards: Create boards that reflect your brand’s style and values. Make sure to include visually appealing images and relevant content that will engage your audience. Good images are crucial for Pinterest.

  2. Pin regularly: The most important factor for getting traffic with Pinterest is consistency. Even if you don’t have the best pins or products if you pin regularly you’ll get traffic.

  3. Optimize your pins: Use keywords in your pin descriptions to improve their visibility in search results. Pinterest is a search engine and keywords are how your customers will find you.

  4. Run contests and giveaways: Contests and giveaways are a great way to engage your audience and grow your following. You can ask your audience to create boards featuring your products or services and offer a prize for the best board.

  5. Use rich pins: Rich pins provide more information about your products, making them more appealing to potential customers. They also give you the ability to update pricing and availability information automatically. Visit the Pinterest information page to learn more about rich pins.

  6. Share user-generated content: Repinning content from your followers is a great way to show them that you value their contributions. It also helps to build a sense of community around your brand. Be careful with repinning and make sure you don’t have more repins than fresh pins.

  7. Promote your Pinterest account: Make sure to promote your Pinterest account on your website, other social media platforms, and in your email marketing campaigns. The more exposure your account gets, the more followers you’re likely to gain.

  8. Idea pins: If you want to position yourself in the minds of your target audience idea pins are a great way to do it. These pins are just images without a link that Pinterest has been priorizating in distribution. Make sure to add a ton of value for your audience. 

  9. Pinterest ads: The fastest way to get results with the platform is promoted pins. With paid ads you can go directly to the first results of your target audience when they’re searching for keywords related to your brand. If you need help with Pinterest ads visit our paid ads page.
