As a small business owner, it’s important to have a solid understanding of digital marketing. It’s not an easy task by any means, but understanding how to market on Pinterest may be just the thing your business needs to take off!
Keep reading for everything you need to know on how to increase ROI with Pinterest.
Why Use Pinterest?
Pinterest is something of an unsung hero in the marketing world, with very few small businesses even considering using it, and fewer still understanding how.
With fewer competitors than other sites and over 450 million active users a month, you’ll be able to gain a wider audience within your business’s niche.
As roughly 80% of Pinterest users are female, it’s perfect for businesses with a largely female target audience, but it’s still a great tool for everyone! As long as you know how to use it, it’ll make all the difference in your business engagement.

Most social media platforms exist almost in a vacuum, meaning that success on one may not mean success on another. However, Pinterest is special in the sense that pins will find their way to countless other sites due to a robust sharing feature.
As such, if you’re using Pinterest in conjunction with other social networks, you’ll have a much easier time reaching your desired audience.Whenever you make a new pin, try adding links to a shop, site, or podcast!
