Tailwind, a tool that many Pinterest business users rely on, has released 2 parts of a 4 part research study where they analyzed 1 million pins. In that study, 33 points of data were analyzed about how to grow on Pinterest. In this episode, I interview CEO and co-founder Danny Maloney about what he learned from that study and how it challenges some long-held beliefs by the community.

It’s that time of year and Pinterest is out with the trends they expect to grow this year. Every year they look at the data from the previous year and make predictions as to what will trend with the users on the platform. In 2023, there was a 50% increase in click-through rates on Pins related to Pinterest Predicts AND these forecasted trends are said to last 20% longer than fads that show up on other platforms. Let’s talk about what’s inside the predictions and how to create a Pinterest marketing plan from the information.

Collages have been a feature on Pinterest for a while but it’s primarily been for users, until now. In the latest Pinterest Presents they talked about how collages can be leveraged for product sales. In this podcast I’ll dive into our experience with collages and where we think they will go in the future. Also a backdoor into creating them and linking your products.

Two options – you can hire our management team to take over all aspects of pinning, creating images, etc. We can also run your ads.

Ads make me a little nervous sometimes. I have a strong fear I’m going to set it up wrong. But while watching Pinterest presents I got super excited about their new AI Pinterest Ad tool – Performance Plus. Here are my thoughts, review, and what I learned from just setting up an ad.

As you’ll hear in this episode one of our recommendations is if you dive into Performance Plus ads you should have someone to consult while you run ads. Book your consult call with our Pinterest Ads team to get started.
