Follow on Google News | Top 10 tips on Pinterest from Social Media Manager at KISS Public RelationsIt may be new on the social media scene but Pinterest is well and truly gaining traction, especially with the female demographic.
New research recently revealed that Pinterest is now the third biggest referral source to Shopify, which supplies the e-commerce back end to 25,000 online stores, commenting on the research findings Laura said:“What is particularly interesting is that users not only buy the products they pin, but spend more on average than their Facebook counterparts. Therefore any commerce business that relies heavily on driving traffic to their website should certainly consider utilising Pinterest.” So how does Pinterest differ from other social media platforms? Essentially Pinterest is a virtual scrapbook or ‘pinboard’ Laura continued: “As with any new social media it can be daunting to take that leap and establish a presence on a new site, let alone start interacting and experimenting to see what works. With that in mind I have compiled a list of tips to get stated and make that move a little easier.” Pinterest tips for business 1. Be specific: Organise your boards well and ensure they follow a theme and are titled clearly, this will attract more followers. Also incorporate key words onto boards already used in your SEO strategy to ensure maximum exposure. 2. Cross promote your Pinterest site: Like Twitter and Facebook you can add a follow button to your website. Find out how: http://pinterest.com/ 3. Add a ‘Pin it’ button: Similar to a tweet button, the pin it button can be added next to posts on your website, this allows people to easily pin products or posts to their own pinboard. Find out how: http://pinterest.com/ 4. Don’t forget pricing information!: 5. Use Hashtags: Think of Pinterest as the social search engine. Like Twitter and Google Plus the platform supports hashtags (#) making content more search-friendly. Hashtags are particularly useful when creating an integrated campaign, across several social medias, for example create a pinboard utilising the tags you are also using on Twitter and Google+. 6. Leverage user generated content: Enable other users to contribute to your board by adding them as contributors. This opens up a fantastic opportunity to include your fans and customers in your marketing and create a sense of community. To do this, you need to invite people to join the board, select ‘me and contributors’ 7. Competition: 8. Pin Brand-Related Images: Pinterest gave the following instruction to users: “Pinterest is designed to curate and share things you love. If there is a photo or project you’re proud of, pin away! However, try not to use Pinterest purely as a tool for self-promotion.” 9. Protect yourself: There has been a lot of talk regarding Pinterest and the posting of copyrighted photos, make sure you know the ins and outs before you get pinning!
