How Pinterest Will Benefit Your Business

Pinterest

Pinterest is the fastest growing social networking platform, ever!And why is this?Pinterest is a network built for sharing and organising images, whether it is your own photographs or other images that you find on the internet. Statistics show that our brains process visual information 60,000 times faster than text and 90% of the information that enters our mind is visual.  So it is not surprising why a visually focussed social networking platform has flown through the roof!

How will Pinterest help my business?

Pinterest will make your business visual, relatable & shareable. Pinterest will promote your products, services, engage with your audience and show how your business will benefit their lives.

The more brand-related images you Pin – the more exposure your business will receive!Users can share your photography and pinned images in just a few clicks – this makes promoting your brand extremely easy and free!

Also, you can install the ‘Pin It’ plugin on to your website.This will enable users to pin your visual content to their Pinterest boards. By having your visual content pinned to user’s Pinterest boards, you will be exposing your business as every ‘Pinned’ image will be linked back to your website.
