Pinterest—is the perfect channel for
businesses to showcase their products. Pinterest allows you to create a visual
online bulletin board, organized by topics or categories and featuring images
of your products, places or other favorite items.
1. Turn your content into
infographics and data charts. This is a
user-friendly (and visual) way to showcase information useful to your audience,
unique to your industry or business and on point with your expertise.
2. Promote user-generated content
with a guest pinner board. Allow visitors to add videos and
photos that fit in with your niche. You may also want to consider running a
contest for the most interesting, unique, useful, etc., pins on a specific
topic. Offer a juicy prize and drive traffic with the competition.
3. Don’t just pin pictures, pin
videos. Think segments from speaking engagements, news
clips, interviews and YouTube videos that are highly relevant to your Pinterest
boards.
4. Use strong visual images with all
your blog posts. The more captivating your images,
the more likely they will be repinned. Adding an image to every blog post you
put up gives you the opportunity to pin it and drive traffic back to your site.
5. Pin cover images of your e-books and traditional
books. If you have a series of e-books, or traditional
books you have authored, make a board featuring your work. Consider offering a
free chapter or download of the entire e-book to add value.
