Effective Ways to Market on Pinterest

Appeal to your audience’s aspirations, Pin stuff that is right for your business and your customers interests.

  • Colors matter; always choose vivid and colorful Image Designs over photos where only one color predominates. You can take a look at How to Make a Restaurant Logo That Is Totally Sweet, where we previously posted a color/feel chart so you can make an informed decision on your Image Graphic colors.
  • Using the right size is important so that your pins get noticed. We suggest longer/taller images. Stick to the suggested Pinterest image size so that your images are attractive.
  • Pin consistently; a schedule for posting will help you get your pins in order and post regularly so that your followers can always get your news!
  • Descriptions should be thorough, always include your product’s price, main keywords, a flaming Call to Action, and a link to your store.
  • When you build your boards, think about them as window displays, you want beautiful, attractive content around your product. For example, if you sell t-shirts, tell your audience where they can wear them, how they can wear them, how they can store them, and more.
  • Follow an 80/20 rule for your pins; 80% could be pins, while the other 20 must be your own content.
