Brands will jump to get on Instagram and TikTok.
And for good reason: they are excellent platforms for business.
But do you know what’s crazy? When we mention Pinterest, we hear the ‘urrrms’ and ‘aaahs’.
The thing is, we completely understand why. Nobody tells you just how amazing it is.
Well, until now.
Let’s kick things off with some personal results that we got over 60 days for a new client
1.04 million impressions and 4.3k outbound clicks
You don’t get numbers like that everywhere…
But that’s not all. 80% of Pinterest users report using the platform to discover new brands.
So, it gets the results, it drives traffic and it’s FUN (to us anywho). Why on earth is it so overlooked?
Easy. Everybody thinks Pinterest is just a place for scrolling and making pretty boards.
Look, that is a good chunk of it, but consumers really do go there to buy. In fact, that’s often their entire intention.
Unlike the rest of the platforms - users don’t feel like they are receiving as much demand and nagging.
They can ‘doom scroll’ without feeling irritated by constant ads or like they need to constantly compare themselves to what they find.
Most importantly, they feel inspired, which, if you’ve been here for a while, you’ll know that this is what it all comes down to.
That being said, not every brand is made for Pinterest, but those who are, well they’re in for a real treat.
