The Power of the Pin -Pinterest
I am certain that many of you have heard of the new fad these days called Pinterest. However, there is more to Pinterest that meets the “eye” so to speak. They say that a picture is worth a 1000 words and with Pinterest that is so very true!
Information overload is completely upon us and has been for quite some time; however, Pinterest is something completely different in that the photos and images captures the eye and makes you want to view more. A unique avenue for getting people to follow you, share your interests, comment, and more.
While Pinterest is really not meant as a promotional tool – in other words the idea is to share interests rather than self-promote, it is in fact a fabulous tool for any business to utilize. Pinterest adds a creative perspective to information, creations like crafts, statistics, and really any product or service that you can think of. So rather than looking at loads of reports and countless articles, you are looking at a photo or image of something that may interest you, all pointing back to the location that the pin came from. So for example, if I pinned a photo to my board, and it came directly from my own Website that is where people might go to, to view it, and other things. What does that amount to? Extra traffic naturally combined with potential leads and sales.
Smart marketers will surely use “The Power of the Pin” to their advantage, and what’s not to love? We all get to share what interests us, while also commenting, making new friends, and viewing fabulous photos and creations.
My advice….Use “The Power of the Pin” wisely, and you might just be ahead of the game! Remember…A picture is worth a 1000 words!
