Internet Marketing Consultant Offers New Pinterest for Business Service in One Hour Consultation

LOS ANGELES - July 22, 2013 - PRLog -- It’s a fact: in today’s marketplace, social media – with over one-quarter of the world’s population using it – drives new business opportunities. No longer just the “big two” of Facebook and Twitter, additional social sharing sites have crept online to capture bigger and bigger shares of the consumer market.

Pinterest is one of the newest and most addictive social media sites for consumers and one of the most effective, in terms of online marketing, for businesses. As it continues its steep rise in popularity, online marketing consultants are beginning to take notice. The site hit a landmark 10,000,000+ unique users per month in 2012 and that phenomenal growth is only expected to continue throughout the rest of 2013. But few businesses use this social media site to their advantage. That is why Laura Wallis, internet marketing consultant based in Los Angeles, CA and better known as Web Navigator Gal, is offering a brand new marketing consultation called “Pinterest for Business.”

While many professionals view Pinterest as a personal social site, there are numerous opportunities for small business owners to capitalize on its popularity. Pinterest drives more traffic than You Tube, Google+ and Linkedin combined. It’s a great source of referrals, and consumers who are referred to a business via Pinterest tend to spend 70 percent more money than those referred by other sources; only Facebook refers more consumers. In fact, Pinterest consumers spend an average of $179 per order, twice that of Facebook. A full 20 percent of Pinterest users will purchase an item they saw on the site and nearly a third of them are in households with earnings over $100,000 per year. Brand engagement on Pinterest hit 17,000,000 instances in 2012, largely due to the 69 percent who found a product there and wanted to buy it (as compared to 40 percent of Facebook users).

Pinterest is the perfect social media venue for many businesses, but particularly for those whose major target market is women aged 25 to 34 with a family – the largest demographic on the site. According to Web Navigator Gal, “If your clients are hanging out on Pinterest, you need to set-up a business account pronto, and create a plan to direct those pins back to your site. When pinners find something they love on Pinterest, they often want to know where they can buy it. And your business wants to be poised and ready to capture those sales.”

But branding and product awareness are just two ways the savvy entrepreneur can use Pinterest as a marketing tool. The social media site can also be used to grow your email list, build relationships with followers, promote webinars and other special events, drive traffic to your online offers and boost sales of your products or services. With new options such as rich snippets and analytics reporting, Pinterest is the perfect place for every e-commerce business to be now.

Those are just some of the topics covered in Web Navigator Gal’s one-hour consultation, Pinterest for Business. In a single 60-minute session via Skype, Google Hangout or other easy access online technology, Laura will help you build a community of Pinners who are sure to follow your boards and repin your products.

Recognizing a new opportunity for internet marketing comes easily to Wallis, whose extensive experience in the industry includes marketing major brands for well-known corporations. She realizes how daunting the prospect of learning a new social platform can be and that’s why she is offering her expertise. “I know it’s overwhelming trying to learn a new social media platform, but you are going to want to take advantage of the fastest growing social media site in history.”

An hour-long Pinterest for Business phone session with Web Navigator Gal costs less than what an average consumer spends on a single purchase from a Pinterest-referred company. You get a personal consultation with an internet marketing expert who will help your business navigate the social media waters and devise a Pinterest marketing strategy to reach a whole new community of online fans. As Web Navigator Gal says, “You can help them. You know you can. They just need to find you.”
