Pinterest Board Ideas for Business
VIP board to feature customers
Ask fans of your brand to pin pictures of themselves with their favorite product
of yours, and to tag you in the description. You can re-pin those photos onto a
VIP board on your profile. Not only is this a great way to play to the 'vanity' of
your fans (they love to be featured on your boards), but it also serves to spread
the word of your brand around the social network.
Products and services board, give sneak peeks
While you should never use Pinterest as a way to spam your customers with
marketing pins, a couple of boards dedicated to your products and services won't
harm, particularly as Pinterest is such a
huge
driver of sales and web traffic.
Fashion brands on Pinterest are experts at this strategy, posting new boards to
reflect the changing season’s must-have looks and provide exclusive sneak peeks
to its fans. A study by Vision Critical for the clothing brand J. Crew found that
nearly a quarter (21%) of Pinterest users visited the store to buy an item they
liked or pinned from its boards. The same survey revealed that a whopping 80%
tended to buy an item within three weeks of pinning it. To boost this statistic
even further, J. Crew tempts customers with pin descriptions like
“Love what
you see? Our Very Personal Stylist team can help you pre-order this look before
it becomes available on Wednesday August 21.) Call or email...”
Current campaigns board
Build a board specifically for posting information about your latest marketing
campaigns, offers and deals, so that your customers can find them all in one
place,
e.g.
Summer Offers, 25% Off Sale,
etc.
Make sure that you rearrange your
boards to make this one appear near the top of your profile, so that these limited-
time deals are given as much visibility as possible.
Meet-the-team board
Pinterest pins provide the perfect opportunity for your customers to get to know
you and your staff better. Take individual photos of your employees and use the
title and description to tell your customers who they are and what they do; add
other interesting snippets of information,
e.g.
their hobbies, favorite movie or
why they love working for you! In essence, take customers behind the scenes, to
help them connect more closely with you and your brand.
Company history board
Take inspiration from Facebook's Milestones feature and use pins to document
the history of your business. Customers love to indulge in the history and
heritage of their favorite brands, and Pinterest provides the perfect opportunity to
let them do this. Showing that your company has a history improves your
credibility; showing your growth and new products can imply core growth,
stability and trustworthiness. Examples of stuff you can feature as part of your
history include storefront or website changes, product package revisions through
the years - and even pictures of you in your younger days!
Tutorials and how-to board
In such a creative space as Pinterest, putting together tutorials and how-to videos
related to your business or industry works really well. In a step-by-step process,
use one pinned picture, GIF, or video per step to create an easy-to-follow chain
of instructions and increase your exposure at the same time. Alternatively (and
given the evidence that taller images get more re-pins), create a single tall image
made up of several smaller step-by-step photos and instructions.
Reviews and recommendations board
A great number of people use Pinterest to get shopping inspiration, and associate
themselves with brands and retailers. Write up reviews and recommendations for
products that people want and pin them to a board with a title such as 'Products
We Love', whether the items inside are yours or not. Even if they aren't yours -
good karma reciprocates good karma on Pinterest, and you'll see a long-term
positive trend if you feature and tag others in this kind of way.
Showcase your blog and website
Create a board specifically to pin blog posts and articles that you have created on
your website - it helps to drive traffic to your content. Also use these boards to
highlight and re-purpose old (but still great) blog posts that were posted before
you joined the site.
