“Pinsanity” has swept the nation. The social media darling, Pinterest has officially stepped into the ring with heavy hitters Facebook and Twitter, and is now the fastest social media site to hit 10 MILLION monthly users. It may have started out as a hobby for the female population, but you’ll be surprised who’s jumping on board. Major brands are now taking advantage of the virtual pin board as a way to enhance their visual interactions with consumers.

The appeal for many small businesses is its simplicity. Unlike other social media marketing tools, Pinterest relies solely on visuals. Much like when you were a teenager, and the white walls of you room were a canvas used to express who you were, Pinterest tells your consumers who you through a collection of images.  But what can Pinterest do for YOUR business?

First and foremost, Pinterest will drive more traffic to your site. By placing the “Pin-it” button on your website, you are inviting your visitors to pin your products and/or services onto their boards, and each Pin has a link directly back to your website creating more traffic and potentially new customers!  Not only can you post original pictures to your boards, but images from other sources that represent your business or inspire you, this will create a wider following. Also, get your followers involved through visual games and contests.  The options or endless!
