Tips for using Pinterest for brand promotion
Saturday, August 25, 2012 · Topics: pinterest, social-media-strategy
From DreamGrow: Since first hitting the scene merely two years ago, Pinterest has quickly become the new darling of the social media world. The service allows users to quickly share images gleaned from across the web with their friends, making “boards” that contain images fitting within a certain category. Pinterest has proven to be an immensely addictive pastime for some users, many of whom routinely spend hours using the service. In addition to these users, however, Pinterest has also become a hot spot for business professionals. The structure of the social media service makes it perfect for marketers who would like to promote their brand. By sharing images that are tied to a particular theme, or in this case, a product line or service, brands can get their name out there and encourage users to interact with their content. · Go to Tips for using Pinterest for brand promotion →
