Free downloadable guide
Pinterest is a highly visual social media platform that’s growing in popularity. Since user content is primarily image-based, early adopters of Pinterest tended to be focused on certain industries with a visual bent, such as food, fashion, DIY gifts and design.
As the platform has evolved and adoption increased, Pinterest is starting to be used much like a blog, with pins that include both images and text. Businesses have explored creative ways to use the platform, helping it grow from a primarily personal visual scrapbooking site to a broad-reaching and useful resource.
Even service industries such as home improvement, eldercare and financial consulting are finding ways to use Pinterest with imaginative and informative boards that attract prospective clients and customers. And it’s effective: A recent article from Business Insider noted that Pinterest users are closer to the point of purchase than users of other social platforms.
Check out these creative boards from a wide variety of industries.
