Part I: Just what is Pinterest, anyway?
Pinterest, the by-invite-only visual social sharing network, has seen impressive growth since its
introduction in March 2010. The brainchild of Paul Sciarra, Evan Sharp and Ben Silbermann,
Pinterest’s mission is to “connect everyone in the world through the ‘things’ they find
interesting. Alexa now cites it as the 32nd most popular website in the United States. Daily,
visitors spend more than 11 minutes on the site, showing up rival Twitter on this metric by more
than 50%. As an aside, it looks as though Pinterest is monetizing their site early on: rumour has
it that the site is quietly generating revenue by modifying user submitted pins using a service
called skimlinks. If someone clicks through the picture from Pinterest and makes a purchase,
Pinterest gets paid.
Whereas Twitter is focused on text via microblogging, Pinterest is fuelled
by image curation. The screengrabs, infographics, cartoons, and visual
inspirational quotes that sometimes make their way to Facebook find a
true home with Pinterest, where members are encouraged to pin,
organize, share, and sort all the individual visual pieces of internet
ephemera to create a kind of collective stream of visual memes.
Pinterest is a little like Tumblr, in that it starts with a photo. But instead of
presenting one photo at a time in the Tumblr style, Pinterest photos or
"pins" gain context from being sorted by their pinners into "boards" of
similar items or concepts for presentation.
The active members of Pinterest browse, pin, and repin to experience things that are
interesting and relevant, to capture visual images that surface in their web wanderings or
that were surfaced because of friend curation – whiling away time in an aspirational or
dreaming way. But they also are finding things that impact everyday life: crafts projects,
planning birthday parties, designing a home on a budget. As their onboarding email says,
"Pinterest is as much about discovering new things as it is about
sharing." Topics that are fantastical and immensely practical are
equally at home on Pinterest.
If you are thinking that all of this sounds suspiciously similar to what
you did as a teenager with a piece of posterboard and your
favorite magazines, you are right. Pinterest taps into that same
human trait of dreaming by sorting activity that already exists in
real life, from brides dog-earing bridal magazines, to home cooks
building bookmark files of "someday" recipes, to interior designers
collecting fabric swatches and paint samples. The Pinterest
platform allows all of that activity and more to happen in a
collective sharing way that is intensely visual and equally as
engaging.

eModeration white paper: A complete Pinterest guide for brands
It is possible to build a robust following and a sense of community while posting to Pinterest on
behalf of a brand, as long as the brand curator participates in a genuine way. It is important
to remember that Pinterest is about individual expression and sharing, not about selling or
broadcasting. Pinterest’s Etiquette Guide stresses that self-promotion is frowned upon. You’ll
notice as you dive into the Pinterest platform that there is no easy way to search for a brand
as a voice.
In this stage of Pinterest development, Brands are expected to behave as the individual
participants of Pinterest do. Pinterest is thought to have a female-skewed demographic.
Consumer-facing and female-centric brands have done well on this platform. Respect for the
core users of Pinterest is important. In our interviews, we discovered many active pinners
refuse to engage with a brand’s pins on principle unless they find a connection to a person or
point of view behind the brand name. A brand that tries to swim in the Pinterest waters
without understanding the core user will find that there is not an audience for a broadcast or
promotional kind of pinning. The members of Pinterest will simply ignore the brand pins and
boards that they feel go against the spirit of Pinterest.
There are two main ways social media managers and internal brand advocates can harness
Pinterest for brand promotion: by optimizing the brand content to be appealing to the
growing network of Pinterest participants, and by joining Pinterest as a participant/brand
curator. The first takes incorporating the Pinterest aesthetic into account when creating and
publishing visually on the web, but is low-maintenance from a social media management
stand-point. The second approach of being an active brand curator takes a great deal of
energy and a regular flow of content, but has the advantage of using "push button"
technology.
Whether active use of Pinterest is best left to the industries that
are a natural fit with the interests of Pinterest pinners is a
question only time and use can answer. In this five part series of
Pinterest, we will take a look at how to optimize content for use
on Pinterest, regardless of brand participation, the ins and outs
of joining Pinterest as a brand curator, tips and tricks that help
build a Pinterest community, and specific examples of how
brands are using Pinterest today.

Part 2: Optimizing Content For Pinterest
At its core, Pinterest is a visual social bookmarking service. Its masonry style layout presents
material in a pleasing way. Pinterest relies on user-created, high quality visual imagery from
the web along with an addictive UX. The competitive social aspect of the service help keep
the taste level of the participants elevated. But without strong content from the web, the
service would not exist.
It is possible for a brand to choose to participate in Pinterest by providing and promoting its
own strong, visual content via traditional social media measures and choose to not take the
additional step of direct participation as a brand curator. In doing so, the brand would be
trusting its savvy brand advocates to recognize and site the content that is readily available.
This content can be presented along traditional channels: Facebook, Twitter pic, blog, etc.
Pinterest serves as a niche network, not a global replacement. Active pinners
are also savvy web surfers. If you provide it and it is beautiful, optimized, and
useful, it is very likely your content will end up on Pinterest.
The PinIt Button
There are four main ways a product’s image might appear on Pinterest – by
screenshot, by direct url, by PinIt bookmarklet, and by PinIt button. If a participant on
Pinterest finds your product uncredited via a blogger’s screenshot or by an image search, the
trackback to a direct url on an e-commerce or product information site will be lost. The
simplest way to prevent this from happening is to incorporate the PinIt button on ecommerce
sites, much the way Abe’s Market, Etsy, and Martha Stewart have with the PinIt button
displayed along side the product information.
It’s All About the Visual
The images themselves are the main allure of pinboards, even though a url might have a
great deal of text behind it. An image that has strong appeal to a Pinterest member is one
that is powerful and emotive. Beautiful photography with good lighting and strong
composition, quirky details highlighted, visuals with unexpected twists, quotes with powerful
words and interesting typography, images of people that present a powerful or universal
emotion, sophisticated color presentation - appealing and inspiring are the Pinterest themes.
Without an appealing visual, a link is unlikely to be repinned, even it contains engaging text
content.

Trust Your Bloggers
Continue your current efforts in social media, blogging and blogger outreach. Pinterest
participants are more likely to respond to a trusted individual’s pin about your brand than a
direct overture from a brand about its own product on Pinterest. Bloggers are early adopters
of Pinterest, are comfortable trusting their "eye" when it comes to personal curation, and love
to share their passions with a wide audience. Pinterest is turning out to be a great driver of
traffic for bloggers, so most savvy bloggers are happy to spend time on the platform.
Watermark Your Image
Before finding a home on Pinterest, images sometimes lose their
source information as they travel around the web. To better help
your audience locate your product information, consider discretely
watermarking photos that are used for social media promotion
with the source website and/or product information.
Use Appealing Themes
Be seasonal. Pinterest reflects
life. The week of January 22,
the most popular pins
included homemade
valentine treats in with
strawberry and chocolate in
preparation for Valentine’s
Day, exercise and health
inspiration as part of New
Year resolution behavior
(bathing suit, healthy food
recipes,) and gardening prep
photos. Include human truths.
Recognize human truths and find the humor in them. Themes that resonate on Pinterest: total
looks, food, beauty, love, family, inspiration, organization, crafts, how-to, design,
aspirational/dreams.

Part 3: Participating on Pinterest as a Brand Curator
Pinterest's current population is made up of an interesting mix of designers, bloggers, moms,
fashionistas, and early tech adopters. As the site grows, so does the userbase. Some brands
are using currently using Pinterest, but with a new medium, there is a level of experimentation
to even the most polished effort. Below are tips on getting started with Pinterest as a brand
curator.
Getting Started
On Pinterest, full, rich content boards to better than sparse ones. For brands, a steady feed of
newly pinned or repinned content is better than one mad set-up dash and then a dusty
account. The one exception to the above is in claiming a brand address. It is far better to
claim an account for your brand’s name now, even if you have yet to identify if your brand is
a good candidate for Pinterest participation, than to leave your brand’s name unclaimed
and available for a potential or accidental brand-jacking. (On Pinterest, "Time" and
"Time_Magazine" produce decidedly different results.)
Show Your Lifestyle and your Brand Taste Aesthetic
Getting started on Pinterest can be a daunting task. Pinterest designer and co-founder Evan
Sharp sums it up: “For most consumer brands, the idea behind your brand makes sense on
Pinterest.” Whole Foods follows this advice particularly well. Boards focused on gardening,
recycling, and world charities add value and context to their brand. West Elm is another
company that makes use of this strategy, repinning user-sourced content to their own
inspirational boards with titles like “Globalist” and
“Chevron Stripes.” Other Pinterest users “follow”
West Elm once they discover they have been
repinned and/or followed by the taste making
brand.
Give Tutorials
Hobbiests, bakers, crafters, designers, and other "hands-on" driven people love to use
Pinterest as a source book for making visually appealing projects. Brands can leverage this
desire by making short tutorials on the use of a product and presenting it either through a
photo tutorial that is easily understandable when in pin form, a photo plus content that give
clear how-to instructions (do-it-yourself, recipes, crafts,) or by making use of the ability to pin
YouTube videos.

Use it as a Focus Group
Pinterest can be used as a focus group by watching what your
followers pin, as well as watching what popular pins in your
category or industry reflect about current trends. Chobani
watches repinned recipes as a source for possible test kitchen
candidates. Nordstrom watches for surges in popularity
measured by direct engagement (pins and likes) for trends and
styles.
Show Your Core Values
For a brand curator, creating different boards on Pinterest can
help show the different sides of its personality and its core values. Chobani uses this strategy
effectively in its Pinterest boards, championing Chobani Moms on one board and inspiring
fitness on another. Cabot Cheese displays its core values in the subjects it curates – Farmer
Pride, Vermont, and Cow themed boards receive equal attention to the food recipe and
photography boards.
Show Your ‘Behind the Scenes’
Not all content needs to be repinnable to be worthwhile. Some brands are finding value in
using Pinterest as a visual diary, showing behind the scene photos and pictures of staff in a
format that is personal and appealing. Time Magazine uses a static board to show off a
visually cohesive set of staff profile photos with short attached bios. Tarte Cosmetics shows off
staff photos and industry snaps on its “Tartelette Takes” pinboard.
Campaigns and Contests
Marketers are beginning to explore how Pinterest can be
leveraged for limited-time campaigns and contests. It is a slippery
slope to navigate, as participants of Pinterest are suspicious of
brands that engage for self-promotion. Early adopter Land’s End
saw success with its “Pin It to Win It” holiday campaign, as did Tarte
Cosmetics with its “Pinning on the Glitz” sweepstakes.
Curate Your Own Content
While Pinterest frowns on self-promotion, some massive
scale e-commerce retailers are natural fits for self-curation.
Using their e-commerce urls, both Nordstrom and Bergdorf
Goodman curate their own content, taking their vast inventories and linking individual
products into smaller themes like “Seventies” and “Glam” look books that put content
together visually in away that is not possible on their shopping sites.

Part 4: Making the Most of Pinterest - Tips and Tricks
A relatively young network, some features and tools are a little creaky. Pinterest's search
feature is less than powerful. Nothing about Pinterest is optimized for brand or marketing use.
Other features could also use improvement.
The site changes often, so be sure to keep an eye on the Pinterest blog for updates and new
features. Below are a series of tips to help you make the most of your time with Pinterest.
Include Pricing Info
Pinterest's site includes a section for users to browse for gifts (for others,
for themselves) by price. To appear in this section, a pin must include
pricing information in the description so that the pins will repopulate in
the gift selection . If pinning your own content, add a "$" or a "£" to the
Pin's description and make sure the url is a direct link to the product. Be
sure to make use of Pinterest's search feature so that when your content
is shared and is discussed on Pinterest, your community manager can
organically join the conversation. Often times, consumer goods are
pinned and then pinned again, and the purchasing information or url
link is lost. In Pinterest etiquette, it isn’t just ok to comment to provide sourcing information, it is
welcomed.
Use Keywords in Descriptions
Pinterest's search feature is a literal beast. If a searcher inputs a term like "blue dress," the
results that will display for the individual pin search will contain only pins that include that term
in the pin description. Help your would-be followers discover your content by including apt
descriptions. Descriptions also act as a "title" for an individual pin, so making the description
pleasing to the eye and ear is also important.
Search Your Name
Use the creaky Pinterest search feature to find mentions of your brand on other boards. You’ll
find new people to follow this way and sources of inspiration for your own curation. A search
for Brooks Brothers finds products being highlighted in a board called “Preppy Cool,” while
Sephora products find new life in pinboards being used for color stories.

Search for Mentions
You can also find content people have pinned directly from
your website by adding, “/source/” and your website address to
the Pinterest homepage URL. For example, if we want to look at
what content people have shared from Mashable, we can enter
http://pinterest.com/source/mashable.com. Searching for people who already are sharing
your product is a good way to find followers who might be interested in following your brand
curated boards back.
"Liking"
Unlike repinning, the “liking” action is a low profile way for a brand to engage with the larger
Pinterest community. Liking is a viewable list by other members. If there are tangential
subjects to your brand that you do not wish to curate as a whole board, you may wish to
“like” another members content on the subject instead of repinning. Examples of this might
be: a children’s clothing brand that curates content for children’s play activities “liking” a
creative child bento box lunch, a cooking/epicurean brand that curates kitchen equipment
and dishes “liking” kitchen remodels. Making use of the like feature is a good way to build a
following.

@symbol
You can directly engage with anyone for whom you are already following at least one
board. Tag descriptions of pins/repins and comments with the @ symbol followed by
username and a notification will be sent directly to the user. Direct mentions are great ways
to reinforce relationships and build your community.
Reward Your Fans
Repinning and Liking take very little time/bandwidth compared to custom curating and
commenting on other users’ pins. Notifications of your activity will appear to the others in their
activity feeds and notification emails. By taking time to explore your follower's boards, it
would be possible to create a “brand” board of lifestyle inspiration completely filled with
“What Brand X Fans Love” and repins.
Connecting Platforms
When creating a Pinterest account, you can choose to connect
your Twitter and Facebook accounts, along with your website.
Indeed, this step is mandatory in creating an account, although
the social network display can be toggled off after registration. If
enabled, social account widgets appear below your profile bio to
your followers.
It is important to note that currently, brand pages cannot be
selected via the Facebook integration. When registering a brand
Pinterest account, the safest choice is to choose to integrate your
brand Twitter account. Once social network sharing is enabled,
you can choose to share your Pins across the networks (although this sharing works on the
personal profile level, not the brand page level,) or to embed them onto your website.
(Currently, only pins can be embedded, but the Pinterest designers have plans to make
boards embeddable in Q1 of this year.) Driving traffic by posting links to your Pinterest profile
and pins via an update on Twitter, Facebook, Google+ or wherever your audience is actively
discussing your brand will benefit your presence on Pinterest.

Part 5: 100+ Brands on Pinterest
You might be wondering if your brand is a fit with Pinterest. There is no harm is registering your
brand's name, and that will help stake your claim against brandjackers. Some industries have
obvious curation tie-ins that make joining Pinterest a natural fit (retail, design, beauty.) Other
industries will need to be creative to find a way to make use of Pinterest's visual curation
emphasis to benefit their overall community efforts.
Pinterest has identified the following “best practices" for brands:
 Pinning from various sources rather than one specific site.
 Repinning from within the site to engage with others – repinning is one of the most social
activities on Pinterest and it’s how any user really builds his/her network of followers.
 Creating at least a few boards that cover a broad range of interests, rather than
maintaining a single board devoted to one topic.
In working with Pinterest, it is evident that the platform in its current state has been built with
individuals in mind, not brand curators. It takes some creativity to bend a profile to suit a
brand's needs. Likewise, Pinterest's internal search delivers nebulous results.
It can be difficult to find examples of how brands are currently using Pinterest, as Pinterest's
search will not always surface relevant content and many of the current articles on the web
rehash the same case studies (West Elm, Whole Foods, Mashable, etc.) In thinking about your
brand's direction on Pinterest, you may find helpful the following index and loose
categorization of 100+ brands currently participating on Pinterest.
Cabot Cheese's
genuine appreciation
for the company's
roots makes it one of
our favorite brand
curator examples.

Bookmark not defined. eModeration: The Guide to Social Media Engagement for Financial Organisations 4 eModeration white paper: A complete Pinterest guide for brands Part I: Just what is Pinterest, anyway? Pinterest, the by-invite-only visual social sharing network, has seen impressive growth since its introduction in March 2010. The brainchild of Paul Sciarra, Evan Sharp and Ben Silbermann, Pinterest’s mission is to “connect everyone in the world through the ‘things’ they find interesting. Alexa now cites it as the 32nd most popular website in the United States. Daily, visitors spend more than 11 minutes on the site, showing up rival Twitter on this metric by more than 50%. As an aside, it looks as though Pinterest is monetizing their site early on: rumour has it that the site is quietly generating revenue by modifying user submitted pins using a service called skimlinks. If someone clicks through the picture from Pinterest and makes a purchase, Pinterest gets paid. Whereas Twitter is focused on text via microblogging, Pinterest is fuelled by image curation. The screengrabs, infographics, cartoons, and visual inspirational quotes that sometimes make their way to Facebook find a true home with Pinterest, where members are encouraged to pin, organize, share, and sort all the individual visual pieces of internet ephemera to create a kind of collective stream of visual memes. Pinterest is a little like Tumblr, in that it starts with a photo. But instead of presenting one photo at a time in the Tumblr style, Pinterest photos or "pins" gain context from being sorted by their pinners into "boards" of similar items or concepts for presentation. The active members of Pinterest browse, pin, and repin to experience things that are interesting and relevant, to capture visual images that surface in their web wanderings or that were surfaced because of friend curation – whiling away time in an aspirational or dreaming way. But they also are finding things that impact everyday life: crafts projects, planning birthday parties, designing a home on a budget. As their onboarding email says, "Pinterest is as much about discovering new things as it is about sharing." Topics that are fantastical and immensely practical are equally at home on Pinterest. If you are thinking that all of this sounds suspiciously similar to what you did as a teenager with a piece of posterboard and your favorite magazines, you are right. Pinterest taps into that same human trait of dreaming by sorting activity that already exists in real life, from brides dog-earing bridal magazines, to home cooks building bookmark files of "someday" recipes, to interior designers collecting fabric swatches and paint samples. The Pinterest platform allows all of that activity and more to happen in a collective sharing way that is intensely visual and equally as engaging.

Bookmark not defined. eModeration: The Guide to Social Media Engagement for Financial Organisations 5 eModeration white paper: A complete Pinterest guide for brands It is possible to build a robust following and a sense of community while posting to Pinterest on behalf of a brand, as long as the brand curator participates in a genuine way. It is important to remember that Pinterest is about individual expression and sharing, not about selling or broadcasting. Pinterest’s Etiquette Guide stresses that self-promotion is frowned upon. You’ll notice as you dive into the Pinterest platform that there is no easy way to search for a brand as a voice. In this stage of Pinterest development, Brands are expected to behave as the individual participants of Pinterest do. Pinterest is thought to have a female-skewed demographic. Consumer-facing and female-centric brands have done well on this platform. Respect for the core users of Pinterest is important. In our interviews, we discovered many active pinners refuse to engage with a brand’s pins on principle unless they find a connection to a person or point of view behind the brand name. A brand that tries to swim in the Pinterest waters without understanding the core user will find that there is not an audience for a broadcast or promotional kind of pinning. The members of Pinterest will simply ignore the brand pins and boards that they feel go against the spirit of Pinterest. There are two main ways social media managers and internal brand advocates can harness Pinterest for brand promotion: by optimizing the brand content to be appealing to the growing network of Pinterest participants, and by joining Pinterest as a participant/brand curator. The first takes incorporating the Pinterest aesthetic into account when creating and publishing visually on the web, but is low-maintenance from a social media management stand-point. The second approach of being an active brand curator takes a great deal of energy and a regular flow of content, but has the advantage of using "push button" technology. Whether active use of Pinterest is best left to the industries that are a natural fit with the interests of Pinterest pinners is a question only time and use can answer. In this five part series of Pinterest, we will take a look at how to optimize content for use on Pinterest, regardless of brand participation, the ins and outs of joining Pinterest as a brand curator, tips and tricks that help build a Pinterest community, and specific examples of how brands are using Pinterest today. image courtesy of frangipanidesignssydney.blogspot.com

Bookmark not defined. eModeration: The Guide to Social Media Engagement for Financial Organisations 6 eModeration white paper: A complete Pinterest guide for brands Part 2: Optimizing Content For Pinterest At its core, Pinterest is a visual social bookmarking service. Its masonry style layout presents material in a pleasing way. Pinterest relies on user-created, high quality visual imagery from the web along with an addictive UX. The competitive social aspect of the service help keep the taste level of the participants elevated. But without strong content from the web, the service would not exist. It is possible for a brand to choose to participate in Pinterest by providing and promoting its own strong, visual content via traditional social media measures and choose to not take the additional step of direct participation as a brand curator. In doing so, the brand would be trusting its savvy brand advocates to recognize and site the content that is readily available. This content can be presented along traditional channels: Facebook, Twitter pic, blog, etc. Pinterest serves as a niche network, not a global replacement. Active pinners are also savvy web surfers. If you provide it and it is beautiful, optimized, and useful, it is very likely your content will end up on Pinterest. The PinIt Button There are four main ways a product’s image might appear on Pinterest – by screenshot, by direct url, by PinIt bookmarklet, and by PinIt button. If a participant on Pinterest finds your product uncredited via a blogger’s screenshot or by an image search, the trackback to a direct url on an e-commerce or product information site will be lost. The simplest way to prevent this from happening is to incorporate the PinIt button on ecommerce sites, much the way Abe’s Market, Etsy, and Martha Stewart have with the PinIt button displayed along side the product information. It’s All About the Visual The images themselves are the main allure of pinboards, even though a url might have a great deal of text behind it. An image that has strong appeal to a Pinterest member is one that is powerful and emotive. Beautiful photography with good lighting and strong composition, quirky details highlighted, visuals with unexpected twists, quotes with powerful words and interesting typography, images of people that present a powerful or universal emotion, sophisticated color presentation - appealing and inspiring are the Pinterest themes. Without an appealing visual, a link is unlikely to be repinned, even it contains engaging text content.

Pinterest participants are more likely to respond to a trusted individual’s pin about your brand than a direct overture from a brand about its own product on Pinterest. Bloggers are early adopters of Pinterest, are comfortable trusting their "eye" when it comes to personal curation, and love to share their passions with a wide audience. Pinterest is turning out to be a great driver of traffic for bloggers, so most savvy bloggers are happy to spend time on the platform. Watermark Your Image Before finding a home on Pinterest, images sometimes lose their source information as they travel around the web. To better help your audience locate your product information, consider discretely watermarking photos that are used for social media promotion with the source website and/or product information. Use Appealing Themes Be seasonal. Pinterest reflects life. The week of January 22, the most popular pins included homemade valentine treats in with strawberry and chocolate in preparation for Valentine’s Day, exercise and health inspiration as part of New Year resolution behavior (bathing suit, healthy food recipes,) and gardening prep photos. Include human truths. Recognize human truths and find the humor in them. Themes that resonate on Pinterest: total looks, food, beauty, love, family, inspiration, organization, crafts, how-to, design, aspirational/dreams.

As the site grows, so does the userbase. Some brands are using currently using Pinterest, but with a new medium, there is a level of experimentation to even the most polished effort. Below are tips on getting started with Pinterest as a brand curator. Getting Started On Pinterest, full, rich content boards to better than sparse ones. For brands, a steady feed of newly pinned or repinned content is better than one mad set-up dash and then a dusty account. The one exception to the above is in claiming a brand address. It is far better to claim an account for your brand’s name now, even if you have yet to identify if your brand is a good candidate for Pinterest participation, than to leave your brand’s name unclaimed and available for a potential or accidental brand-jacking. (On Pinterest, "Time" and "Time_Magazine" produce decidedly different results.) Show Your Lifestyle and your Brand Taste Aesthetic Getting started on Pinterest can be a daunting task. Pinterest designer and co-founder Evan Sharp sums it up: “For most consumer brands, the idea behind your brand makes sense on Pinterest.” Whole Foods follows this advice particularly well. Boards focused on gardening, recycling, and world charities add value and context to their brand. West Elm is another company that makes use of this strategy, repinning user-sourced content to their own inspirational boards with titles like “Globalist” and “Chevron Stripes.” Other Pinterest users “follow” West Elm once they discover they have been repinned and/or followed by the taste making brand. Give Tutorials Hobbiests, bakers, crafters, designers, and other "hands-on" driven people love to use Pinterest as a source book for making visually appealing projects. Brands can leverage this desire by making short tutorials on the use of a product and presenting it either through a photo tutorial that is easily understandable when in pin form, a photo plus content that give clear how-to instructions (do-it-yourself, recipes, crafts,) or by making use of the ability to pin YouTube videos.

Chobani watches repinned recipes as a source for possible test kitchen candidates. Nordstrom watches for surges in popularity measured by direct engagement (pins and likes) for trends and styles. Show Your Core Values For a brand curator, creating different boards on Pinterest can help show the different sides of its personality and its core values. Chobani uses this strategy effectively in its Pinterest boards, championing Chobani Moms on one board and inspiring fitness on another. Cabot Cheese displays its core values in the subjects it curates – Farmer Pride, Vermont, and Cow themed boards receive equal attention to the food recipe and photography boards. Show Your ‘Behind the Scenes’ Not all content needs to be repinnable to be worthwhile. Some brands are finding value in using Pinterest as a visual diary, showing behind the scene photos and pictures of staff in a format that is personal and appealing. Time Magazine uses a static board to show off a visually cohesive set of staff profile photos with short attached bios. Tarte Cosmetics shows off staff photos and industry snaps on its “Tartelette Takes” pinboard. Campaigns and Contests Marketers are beginning to explore how Pinterest can be leveraged for limited-time campaigns and contests. It is a slippery slope to navigate, as participants of Pinterest are suspicious of brands that engage for self-promotion. Early adopter Land’s End saw success with its “Pin It to Win It” holiday campaign, as did Tarte Cosmetics with its “Pinning on the Glitz” sweepstakes. Curate Your Own Content While Pinterest frowns on self-promotion, some massive scale e-commerce retailers are natural fits for self-curation. Using their e-commerce urls, both Nordstrom and Bergdorf Goodman curate their own content, taking their vast inventories and linking individual products into smaller themes like “Seventies” and “Glam” look books that put content together visually in away that is not possible on their shopping sites. The Travel Channel shows Behind the Scenes photos pinned from travelchannel.com

Pinterest's search feature is less than powerful. Nothing about Pinterest is optimized for brand or marketing use. Other features could also use improvement. The site changes often, so be sure to keep an eye on the Pinterest blog for updates and new features. Below are a series of tips to help you make the most of your time with Pinterest. Include Pricing Info Pinterest's site includes a section for users to browse for gifts (for others, for themselves) by price. To appear in this section, a pin must include pricing information in the description so that the pins will repopulate in the gift selection . If pinning your own content, add a "$" or a "£" to the Pin's description and make sure the url is a direct link to the product. Be sure to make use of Pinterest's search feature so that when your content is shared and is discussed on Pinterest, your community manager can organically join the conversation. Often times, consumer goods are pinned and then pinned again, and the purchasing information or url link is lost. In Pinterest etiquette, it isn’t just ok to comment to provide sourcing information, it is welcomed. Use Keywords in Descriptions Pinterest's search feature is a literal beast. If a searcher inputs a term like "blue dress," the results that will display for the individual pin search will contain only pins that include that term in the pin description. Help your would-be followers discover your content by including apt descriptions. Descriptions also act as a "title" for an individual pin, so making the description pleasing to the eye and ear is also important. Search Your Name Use the creaky Pinterest search feature to find mentions of your brand on other boards. You’ll find new people to follow this way and sources of inspiration for your own curation. A search for Brooks Brothers finds products being highlighted in a board called “Preppy Cool,” while Sephora products find new life in pinboards being used for color stories.

For example, if we want to look at what content people have shared from Mashable, we can enter http://pinterest.com/source/mashable.com. Searching for people who already are sharing your product is a good way to find followers who might be interested in following your brand curated boards back. "Liking" Unlike repinning, the “liking” action is a low profile way for a brand to engage with the larger Pinterest community. Liking is a viewable list by other members. If there are tangential subjects to your brand that you do not wish to curate as a whole board, you may wish to “like” another members content on the subject instead of repinning. Examples of this might be: a children’s clothing brand that curates content for children’s play activities “liking” a creative child bento box lunch, a cooking/epicurean brand that curates kitchen equipment and dishes “liking” kitchen remodels. Making use of the like feature is a good way to build a following.

Tag descriptions of pins/repins and comments with the @ symbol followed by username and a notification will be sent directly to the user. Direct mentions are great ways to reinforce relationships and build your community. Reward Your Fans Repinning and Liking take very little time/bandwidth compared to custom curating and commenting on other users’ pins. Notifications of your activity will appear to the others in their activity feeds and notification emails. By taking time to explore your follower's boards, it would be possible to create a “brand” board of lifestyle inspiration completely filled with “What Brand X Fans Love” and repins. Connecting Platforms When creating a Pinterest account, you can choose to connect your Twitter and Facebook accounts, along with your website. Indeed, this step is mandatory in creating an account, although the social network display can be toggled off after registration. If enabled, social account widgets appear below your profile bio to your followers. It is important to note that currently, brand pages cannot be selected via the Facebook integration. When registering a brand Pinterest account, the safest choice is to choose to integrate your brand Twitter account. Once social network sharing is enabled, you can choose to share your Pins across the networks (although this sharing works on the personal profile level, not the brand page level,) or to embed them onto your website. (Currently, only pins can be embedded, but the Pinterest designers have plans to make boards embeddable in Q1 of this year.) Driving traffic by posting links to your Pinterest profile and pins via an update on Twitter, Facebook, Google+ or wherever your audience is actively discussing your brand will benefit your presence on Pinterest.

There is no harm is registering your brand's name, and that will help stake your claim against brandjackers. Some industries have obvious curation tie-ins that make joining Pinterest a natural fit (retail, design, beauty.) Other industries will need to be creative to find a way to make use of Pinterest's visual curation emphasis to benefit their overall community efforts. Pinterest has identified the following “best practices" for brands:  Pinning from various sources rather than one specific site.  Repinning from within the site to engage with others – repinning is one of the most social activities on Pinterest and it’s how any user really builds his/her network of followers.  Creating at least a few boards that cover a broad range of interests, rather than maintaining a single board devoted to one topic. In working with Pinterest, it is evident that the platform in its current state has been built with individuals in mind, not brand curators. It takes some creativity to bend a profile to suit a brand's needs. Likewise, Pinterest's internal search delivers nebulous results. It can be difficult to find examples of how brands are currently using Pinterest, as Pinterest's search will not always surface relevant content and many of the current articles on the web rehash the same case studies (West Elm, Whole Foods, Mashable, etc.) In thinking about your brand's direction on Pinterest, you may find helpful the following index and loose categorization of 100+ brands currently participating on Pinterest. Cabot Cheese's genuine appreciation for the company's roots makes it one of our favorite brand curator examples.
