    This is the foundational thing that makes Pinterest different

    In a recent conversation with one of my Pinterest educator friends we discussed some hurdles that marketers might have regarding using Pinterest. Namely, how boards work on Pinterest. For me, this was a lightbulb moment. I hadn’t really thought about how boards worked on Pinterest. I’ve always just know. For the first I empathized with the concept being one that would cause some marketers to be confused. In order to help overcome any misunderstandings people might have about boards, I wanted to teach more about the history, the concept, and how this can help marketers reach more people on Pinterest.  I thought it would be best to partner with Pinterest and pull together definitions, resources, and workflows for how to be utilize boards for Pinterest marketing.

    Getting Curious About Pinterest Marketing

    One blogger recorded a YouTube video about what was working for her on Pinterest. I watched it and noticed one thing right away – she got curious about Pinterest marketing and how it worked for her. Just her data, time, and vision for her content drove her actions. And for me, this hit different. I wanted to interview her about what was working and not working.

    Are you falling into this Pinterest marketing trap?

    There has been a lot of discussion lately about Pinterest traffic trending downward and what this could mean. Some have talked about algorithm changes, others tech issues with the meta data, and then some are declaring Pinterest dead due to AI slop infiltrating. Along with this are every theory under the sun and what you should do about it. I get it. I stand with you in the frustration, but I want to ask if you’re falling into the trap and what you can do to get out off the hamster wheel and start making some solid decisions. 

    If you’re looking to talk through some of these Pinterest marketing issues with someone, then I highly suggest booking a strategy call with our team. I don’t know about you but I like to ask questions when people teach or share what i should do with my marketing. I want to make sure I fully understand the concepts as well as implement. If that’s you then we’re offering $50 off a strategy call to help get you set up and ready for Q4. Use the code SPMPOD to get your $50 at checkout. https://www.simplepinmedia.com/consultation/
