3 Ways to Use Pinterest This Holiday Season

By Kelly Pramberger November 28, 2016

Here are 3 simple ways to utilize Pinterest for the upcoming holiday season. As a business owner, this is a prime time for you to step up your Pinterest game! Shoppers are using this social media platform as they make decisions on what to buy and how to celebrate with friends and family for the remainder of the year.

1. Designate Boards to Show Holiday Specials

Create boards that relate to your brand and website. Photographers, crafters, bakers, travel sites, car dealers, toy shops ... any business can create boards this November and December and start pinning holiday content and products.

2. Become a Pro Pinner

Pin anything and everything (think images, articles, and videos) that will take a user back to your company's website. Make sure to include a PIN IT button on your website that encourages readers and shoppers to share your content with their Pinterest followers. Don't forget to link your Pinterest page to your other social media sites and email campaigns for even more reach.

3. Interact with Users

The holidays are a time for socializing and interacting with each other. Make sure to respond and reply back to anyone who leaves an appropriate comment on your page. This will make your company stand out and connect you with the people visiting your boards.
