5 Reasons why you should be using Pinterest for your Business 

Using Pinterest for your business is an often overlooked and underused method of marketing.

It’s an amazing platform to increase traffic to your website, grow brand awareness, promote your services and products, and increase your sales! Pinterest allows you to share as much of your work as you like, while optimising it for SEO, driving click throughs to your website or email list. 

I love using Instagram for my own business! However, I want to share 5 reasons why Pinterest is the absolute best platform to market your business, book more clients, and expand your audience.  

 

 

1. Pinterest is not another Social Media platform 

A common misconception about Pinterest is that it is just another social media platform. It is a search engine. A very pretty, visual search engine!  

This makes a big difference to how people use Pinterest compared to other social media platforms, as they are coming to Pinterest to search for ideas and solutions to their problems. They are actively looking for inspiration, products and services.  Did you know that 95% of Pinterest searches are unbranded? This means that Pinterest users are open-minded about what they are looking for.  

 

2. Reach your dream clients and customers  

With the use of strategic keywords and SEO, you could be reaching a whole new audience for your business.  You can use beautifully designed pins to grab the attention of your ideal client and drive them to your website. 

 

3. Pinterest Drives Traffic to you! 

Unlike other social media platforms that want to keep users active on their platform for as long as possible, Pinterest sends users away to find results to their searches. This means that if you have a solution for the searcher, Pinterest will send them away from their platform to you! 

Using Pinterest as part of your marketing strategy means that you can get your products and services in front of an audience that is already actively searching for what you offer and are ready to take action. 

 

4. Pins have a longer shelf life than Instagram and Facebook 

On other Social Media platforms, your posts only have a short window to be seen. On Pinterest, your pins can be seen and found for months. This means that one pin will continue to drive traffic to your business for a long time!  

 

5. Follower count does not matter 

One of the great things about Pinterest is that the number of followers you have doesn’t matter! You don’t need to work on building a following or engaging with the community to get your content seen. The most important thing is using keyword rich SEO so that your pins can be found.
