The Art of Pinterest Marketing: Boosting Your Brand's Visibility

Pinterest, often overshadowed by larger social media giants, offers a unique and potent platform for brands seeking to amplify their visibility. Unlike the ephemeral nature of many social networks, Pinterest acts as a visual search engine, where content longevity and discovery potential reign supreme. Mastering Pinterest marketing involves more than just pinning pretty pictures; it’s about understanding the platform's ecosystem, leveraging its features, and crafting strategies that resonate with your target audience.

Understanding Pinterest’s Distinct Ecosystem Pinterest operates fundamentally differently from other social media platforms. It is a discovery engine that focuses on visual inspiration, where users actively seek ideas for future projects, purchases, or lifestyles. This intent-driven behavior makes Pinterest an invaluable tool for brands looking to capture interest at the beginning of the customer journey.

Visual Search Engine: Pinterest’s advanced visual search capabilities allow users to find similar items and ideas through images, not just keywords. Brands must ensure their pins are visually appealing and searchable to capitalize on this feature. Evergreen Content: Unlike the rapid feed churn of other platforms, Pinterest pins have a longer lifespan, continuing to drive traffic months or even years after they are first pinned. Crafting High-Impact Pins To harness Pinterest’s potential, creating high-impact pins is essential. Pins should be visually captivating, informative, and aligned with your brand's aesthetic.

Vertical Orientation: Pinterest favors vertically oriented images (2:3 ratio), which stand out more in users’ feeds. Rich Pins: Utilize Rich Pins to provide extra details right on the pin itself. These include Product Pins, Recipe Pins, Article Pins, and App Pins, each offering additional functionality and information that can entice users to click through. Eye-Catching Design: Use high-quality images with clear, compelling text overlays. Make sure your design elements are consistent with your brand identity to create a cohesive presence. Optimizing for Search and Discovery Pinterest’s search functionality makes it critical to optimize your pins for discovery.

Keywords: Incorporate relevant keywords in your pin descriptions, titles, and boards. Think about what your audience might search for and use those terms strategically. Hashtags: While not as prominent as on other platforms, relevant hashtags can enhance the discoverability of your pins. Board Organization: Create well-organized boards that reflect different aspects of your brand or product lines. Use descriptive board names and include keywords to make them easily searchable. Engaging with the Pinterest Community Interaction and engagement play a crucial role in amplifying your brand’s visibility on Pinterest.

Pinning Strategy: Consistency is key. Aim to pin regularly, mixing your own content with curated pins from other sources to keep your boards fresh and engaging. Collaborative Boards: Join or create collaborative boards where multiple users can contribute. This can expand your reach by tapping into other users’ audiences. Engage with Followers: Respond to comments on your pins, follow other users, and engage with their content. This not only builds a community around your brand but also boosts your visibility through increased interaction. Utilizing Pinterest Analytics Pinterest Analytics offers insights into how your pins are performing and how users are interacting with your content.

Performance Metrics: Monitor metrics such as impressions, saves, clicks, and engagement rates. These indicators can help you understand which types of pins resonate most with your audience. Audience Insights: Use analytics to learn more about your audience’s demographics and interests. Tailor your content strategy to align with these insights, ensuring your pins are relevant and engaging. Leveraging Pinterest Ads Pinterest Ads can significantly boost your brand's visibility by promoting your pins to a larger audience.

Promoted Pins: These are regular pins that you pay to appear in more prominent positions. Promoted pins blend seamlessly with organic content, making them a subtle yet effective advertising tool. Targeting Options: Pinterest offers various targeting options, including interest targeting, keyword targeting, and audience targeting, which allow you to reach users based on their behaviors and preferences. Integrating Pinterest with Overall Marketing Strategy To maximize the benefits of Pinterest, integrate it into your broader marketing strategy.

Cross-Promote: Promote your Pinterest content across other platforms. For example, share your pins on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram to drive traffic back to your Pinterest boards. Website Integration: Use Pinterest's Save button on your website to make it easy for visitors to pin your content. Rich Pins can also enhance the user experience by providing additional context. Content Synergy: Align your Pinterest content with other marketing efforts such as blog posts, product launches, or seasonal promotions to create a cohesive marketing approach. Conclusion Mastering Pinterest marketing requires a blend of creativity, strategic planning, and engagement. By understanding Pinterest’s unique ecosystem and leveraging its features effectively, brands can significantly boost their visibility and drive meaningful engagement. In the realm of visual discovery and inspiration, Pinterest stands as a powerful tool for brands to connect with their audience, foster lasting relationships, and ultimately, drive growth.

Have You Considered... Pinterest?

In the last installation of Have You Considered, we investigated Clubhouse – a relative newcomer to the social media forum which launched in 2020. Clubhouse is an ideal platform for B2Bs, however, it’s not for everyone.

For businesses who are targeting customers, Pinterest offers a diverse audience especially in the American and European market.

What is Pinterest?

Pinterest is a visual discovery engine for finding ideas like recipes, home and style inspiration, and more.

With billions of Pins on Pinterest, you'll always find ideas to spark inspiration. When you discover Pins you love, save them to boards to keep your ideas organised and easy to find. You can also create Pins to share your ideas with other people on Pinterest.

Founded in 2009, Pinterest has one of the most diverse userbases amongst its competitors. The majority of its userbase lives in the United States of America, Germany, France, Canada and the United Kingdom – but of its users it has a diverse age demographic. The largest segment is the 25-34 age range, however it has strong numbers in all demographics besides 65+ (2.9%) which is a difficult group to target through social media platforms. Furthermore, unlike other platforms, the majority of Pinterest’s userbase is female (60%).

This makes Pinterest a potential asset for American and European businesses looking to target their customers. Like Instagram and TikTok, it is a visual-centred platform. Unlike these larger platforms, Pinterest offers businesses an opportunity to engage with multiple demographic segments through one campaign.

While images remain the most popular upload on Pinterest, its users also watch close to one billion videos a day on the platform. This gives businesses an opportunity to utilise pre-existing marketing materials made for other platforms without having to update its format, content or dimensions. Pinterest offers ad packages, which are set up to bolster the targeting and reach of video campaigns.

How Can Pinterest Help Businesses?

Pinterest is ideal for B2Cs and small businesses. The platform is particularly popular amongst educators and creatives. Set your business up using a business account to unlock analytics and add more detailed information to your profile.

Inspire customers. Many Pinterest users access the platform for inspiration. Maybe they have a problem that needs solving or are looking to spark their creativity. Either way, by sharing quality content on Pinterest you can ensure that the inspiration they find leads them to your business!

Build brand awareness. Ensure everything uploaded to Pinterest contains your brand’s logo. Pinterest enables content to be shared widely and images shared on Pinterest will also appear on Google Images. This gives large scope for your content to spread, but don’t lose the credit. You should always include a link to your website with each pin – this could be a blog post, an online store or a company website.

Drive Sales. Pinterest drives 3.8 times more sales than other platforms and 87% of Pinners have purchased a product because of Pinterest. While Pinterest has fewer active users when compared to social media giants like Facebook, Instagram and TikTok, this high conversion rate compensates for a smaller audience.

Curate. Boards are used by users to categorise saved pins to make it easier to find content at a later date. Curate your uploads to make it easier for potential customers to find what they’re looking for; specifically – your business.

Engage customers. Like other social media platforms, Pinterest can be utilised as a tool for customer engagement. Build a community by following similar accounts or create content which engages other accounts. Check out this video Squideo made to thank another Hull-based business – Scribes Digital Printing – for creating their branded shirts.

How to Utilise Pinterest

Creating an account on Pinterest isn’t enough to build followers and increase customer conversion. Like all social media platforms, your campaign needs to be carefully designed for success. Follow Squideo’s top five tips to find marketing success on Pinterest.

1. Pin your website

Pinterest offers an API (application programming interface) with makes it easy for your website visitors to save you on Pinterest for later review. If a visitor is browsing your website and sees an image or product they like, the API allows them to hit a “save” button and add it to their Pinterest account. Once they share it to Pinterest, anyone on the site can see the image – expanding your viewership even further.

2. Use the right pin

Rich Pins are available to Pinterest business account users and add extra details to your posts (Pins). There are four types of Rich Pins to use and it’s important to get your choice right to drive traffic to your website.

Article Pins. Attaches the headline, author and article description underneath the Pin; ideal for bloggers.

Product Pins. This adds real-time pricing, availability and store location to your post.

Recipe Pins. Gives a snapshot of the required ingredients, cooking time and serving size.

App Pins. Adds an “install” button so users can download your app without leaving Pinterest. This is only compatible with iOS apps.

3. Upload high-quality content

On visual platforms like Pinterest, quality is important. Upload photos and videos at a high resolution to make them more shareable. 80% of people on Pinterest use the mobile app, which means it is better to use portrait dimensions instead of landscape. This makes your image or video fill the entire screen as the user scrolls. The maximum aspect ratio for Pins is 1:2:8.

4. Search-friendly captions

Pinterest is fantastic for SEO, so utilise search-friendly captions to propel your content toward the top of the results page. Analyse popular keywords for your business or products and start including these keywords into your Pin captions.

5. Reflect your brand

Whilst Pinterest doesn’t offer many profile customisation options, it is easy to create a Pinterest aesthetic. Keep your uploads looking uniform and related to your brand. Use the same colours, font and style, and add your logo wherever possible. Create custom covers for your Pinterest boards too using creators like Photoshop or Canva. You can also give your boards similar names. The goal is for your brand to become immediately recognisable to your Pinterest audience. To accomplish that, consistency is key.

Unveiling the tips and tricks of being a successful social media manager:

Social Media Manager (SMM)… sounds fun right?

I mean, we all hang around on social media the whole day anyway - posting life updates and sharing around funny, often meaningless, things  - why not get paid for it, RIGHT!

WRONG - Being a SMM actually feels a bit more like juggling flaming swords while riding a unicycle…

Hectic… I know… but very close to reality.

Don't get me wrong - social media management does have it's upsides and can be fun and rewarding - but trying to keep up with the ever-changing landscape of social media and keeping your clients happy while doing so, can be hard.

That is why I am writing this blog post - to provide you with the tips and tricks I have learned throughout my journey as a Social Media Manager - tips I've gathered through trail, success and obviously... My errors.

You can call it my purpose in life - making the mistakes, so that you dont have to!

This guide I will assist you to learn how to navigating this thrilling, often chaotic realm with finesse and flair.

So let's dive in, shall we?

What if it is your monkeys, meaning it is in fact your circus?

#1

Well first of all - KEEP CALM AND PLAN!

Planning is my secret weapon and I have used it to slay many "dragons" before.

I rely on planning so much that I've actually recently started sharing my planning techniques and planner layouts on my brand new online store named "BiteMagic" (if you are into digital downloads and planning) You can check out my variety of industry specific planner layouts, as well as a category made specially for al my boss ladies out there (yeah girl... We see you 😉) in store by clicking on the link below 👇

https://bitemagic.etsy.com

Planning brings us peace - because we know what to expect when we have planned our steps and therefore we can RELAX knowing that whatever happens, we've got a plan for it!

#2

Content is King (Or Queen...!)

In the kingdom of social media, content reigns supreme. But not just any content-quality content that engages, educates, and entertains your audience. From witty captions to eye-catching visuals, your content should be a feast for the eyes and minds of your followers.

Bonus points if you can sneak in a cat video or two. 🐱

(#joking! Please don't do that… 😬)

#3

Know Thy Platforms:

Each social media platform is like a different party with its own vibe and guest list. From the bustling streets of Twitter to the polished halls of LinkedIn, understanding the nuances of each platform is key to crafting the perfect social media strategy. So, put on your party hat and get ready to mingle!

Your client will usually tell you what platform they want to use if it's not set up already.

Out of experience, I recommend that you use the platform the client suggests as the main platform (for example: Facebook) and then ad on some secondary platform like Pinterest where you can share pinsyour Facebook page… all roads should eventually then lead to the clients WEBSITE because this is where your client has direct access to their clients who are already interested in the product/services they are providing because of all your strategic content you’ve created. Which means it wil not take much to convert these prospects into loyal paying customers all thanks to your hard work!

No wonder Social Media Managers are so in demand by all kind of industries, right!

Engagement strategies:

Social media is a two-way street. It's not just about broadcasting your message; it's about engaging with your audience, building relationships, and fostering a sense of community. Respond to comments, ask questions, and don't be afraid to show some personality. After all, nobody wants to follow a social media robot.

Pro tip:

DO NOT sell the first chance you get. Nobody likes being sold to… rather engage with the audience like you would with a close friend. Build the “relationship” first. You can read the 8 steps of successful marketing (which is highly recommended) right here:

#5

Analytics:

The magical crystal ball that reveals the secrets of your social media success (or lack thereof).

Dive into your analytics regularly to track your performance, understand what's working (and what's not), and make data-driven decisions. Remember, knowledge is power, and in the world of social media, it's gold.

Inform your client of any concerning factors in the analytics and also what content / actions seem to be working when looking at the stats. Keep in mind what your clients goal are and then refer to the specific metrics that evaluates your current standing in that direction.

Like for example:

Your client wants you to manage his start- up business social media page. His goal is therefore awareness (because people need to know about his product/services before they can purchase/his product services).

So your job is to work on things like his page likes, followers or maybe starts joining local groups - slowly develop an image of the target market that is interested in what your client has to offer and also set the very important foundations in terms of Brand Awareness for your client and their business.

 The Dark Side of Social Media

(dramatic music starts playing in the background…)

Yes, the dark side of social media.

From trolls to algorithm changes that make your head spin, navigating the challenges of social media management isn't always sunshine and rainbows.

I will discuss the dark side and how to not only handle it - but to use it as an advantage, in my next blog post.

But for now:

Time for a small exercise!

(yeah really …. We're going there…) 🤷‍♀️

Grab the closest paper you have lying around right now and write the following in big bold letters:

 “With every challenge comes an opportunity to learn, grow, and become a social media Jedi master.

Now stick that baby in your kitchen, right above your kettle. Let it be a daily reminder that challenges are simply stepping stones to mastery. Practise does make perfect! Embrace each hurdle as a chance to refine your skills, innovate, and emerge stronger.

Bonus tip!

Your working space should be treated like the most important area in the house.

Set clear boundaries with friends and family members (even your cat... If needed) to not disturb you while you are in your working space.

Keep your space clean and organised ALWAYS!

Messy places causes messy minds!

Decorate with a cohesive colour scheme of light pastel colours for your working space.

I recently found some awesome items for my office on SellSA which you can go and check out here:

https://sellsa.co.za/home/affiliate-referral/66337c0dad57b

In the realm of social media management, where the pace is relentless and the landscape ever-shifting, it's crucial to maintain a growth mindset. The ability to adapt, learn, and transform challenges into opportunities is what sets apart the average from the exceptional!

So, as you sip your morning coffee or tea, let that note above your kettle serve as a beacon of resilience and determination. You're not just managing social media; you're crafting experiences, building connections, and shaping digital narratives.

Now go out there and GET IT...

Your journey awaits!
