How can Pinterest help my business?


You may have already heard of Pinterest – the new social media kid on the block.

So, what is Pinterest, what is all the fuss about and how could Pinterest help your business?

As with many of the social media platforms which have bloomed in popularity, Pinterest is a very simple idea, cleverly executed.

When you log on to pinterest.com you’ll see how each page looks a bit
like a pin board; yes, those things on our kitchen walls crammed with our old
family photographs, holiday postcards and ‘must do’ lists.

Here then, you can create an easy to view photo album of your products and
services to enable your customers to get an immediate visual understanding
how you can help them.

Every photo you post can be linked back to your main website or your social
media site and you can also encourage people to ‘like’ and share your pins.

It’s great for designers, photographers, artists, organisations that run events
or venues (such as hotels and tourist attractions) or any business that sells a
range of products.

Here are a few Pinterest sites that I think have got the right idea...






Have a look also at some of the areas you’re personally interested in. You
search simply by subject, name or organisation.

It’s free to sign up and create a page (you have to request an invitation first)
and Pinterest also has a reassuring user policy which forbids nudity.

Here at Coldicott Freelance Training I’m ‘liking’ Pinterest because it’s a very
simple and effective way to showcase your business and increase your online
profile.

As with any new social media platform it’s a good idea to sign up early so if
you’d like to get started or know more, contact me for more details.
