I find it cool and will do a lot of help especially if you are into selling beauty products, clothes, pastries and chocolates because of it's features. You can also put the price of the item on the description too.

It certainly is the right network that you should be involved in. A growing number of users are into this social network now. And the demography says women and dominating the network. You might as well base your marketing from that.

So I was accepted onto pinterest this morning, and have absolutely no idea where to start

From the suggested groups there was nothing that seemed to be related to business, and my page seems to be covered in pancake recipes

So whose using it, and whats the verdict? Is it still at the curiosity stage or is it an essential network you need to be involved in?

I know Pinterest weeks ago,good for business or not I don't know,haven't use it for any business,but I did see many good pictures there,many are very creative.

Thanks,

Well as I've failed at blogging, maybe I'll give this pinterest a shot as it looks like I was a little hasty

Has anyone got any up to date results since this thread was started?

Im just working on our social media & have been considering Pinterest. We sell high end, stylish log burners & its probably fair to say that women have the deciding factor in most of the installations we have completed so far....perhaps it is something that could aid our sales?

Any tips / success stories ...or even failures would be welcome.

Thanks

I would say that Pinterest helps me a lot in gaining online exposure for my website, just make sure you have attractive/ eye-catchy pictures though as people there basically check the pictures first then decide to click the link if the picture catches their interest.

Hey everyone,

This is my first post ever in this forum so forgive me if I go on too long - but want to leave something valuable.

I've used Pinterest a bit and found it good at driving website visitors, and OK at building a community (although I know it's great for this just haven't done it yet).

To get maximum advantage out of it, you have to host the pictures of your website, and then pin them in your pinterest account. This way whenever someone views your picture, and clicks through it goes straight to your site.

You've also just got to view other people's pictures, re-pin some, comment on them - this gets people interacting back with you. They'll see your stuff, follow you, re-pin.

The best market for this is women, since the vast majority of people on Pinterest are women. So if your best customers aren't women 25-55, don't bother (yet).

The best resource I've found on this so far is right here:

Hope this helps!
