Pinterest How To Small Business

 

Pinning Plays:

Pinterest suggests that each Pin have a goal and be either Helpful, Actionable or Beautiful.

DO

  • Use descriptive details in the text section. Use the allotted 500 characters. More words allow for more searchable opportunities.
  • Create pins in a vertical orientation. 2:3 to 1:3:5 and a minimum width of 600 px
  • Limit text in pins, use clear overlays.
  • Use similar colors to represent your brand and create a theme that consumers can easily identify.

Cheaters never prosper at pinning, so be sure to stay away from these infractions.

DON’T

  • Use hashtags
  • Use more than 4 images per pin
  • Add borders
  • Use time sensitive information
  • Talking too much about the brand
  • Use promotions like Price, Discounts, Click Here or Call Now in the description

Creating pins take practice. If you’re not a graphic designer, try using online software like Canva or PicMonkey to help you. These sites offer Pinterest templates that will give you ideas and help you get started.

Winning at Pinterest goes beyond creating pins and boards. It’s also about growing your following and connecting with a community of Pinners (Vend Raleigh, Friends, Bloggers and Pinners with similar interests).
