Pinteresting

Pinterest is the social media site that has the most view time of any other social media. Meaning that viewers will stay on their site longer than any other social media site. This is because unlike when you are on Twitter or Instagram, there is no end to a news feed. You can always find more and more information whenever you want. So for marketers, it's imperative to get in that market. Businesses need to make their own Pinterest pages for people to view. With how much Pinterest is growing as well, why wouldn't they want to be on there. I don’t personally have a Pinterest so don’t know all of the details of how it works and all of the ins and outs but can understand the concept of the fact that there are so many people on the site and it is an ample opportunity for businesses to connect with customers. In class we went through a couple of examples of businesses and people such as Ellen, who have Pinterest pages and how they use them effectively. One example that we saw throughout and saw is an essential tip to any page, is include the prices. Customers want to see the prices of products when they go to your page. If they run across something they might like but there is no price they will keep on scrolling. If you want to sell it though, including the price next to the item will increase the chances of the consumer buying it. So Pinterest is growing, and it is growing fast. I still don’t understand exactly how it all works and what not but I know that people can lose a couple of hours of their day on it without even realizes it. Businesses can greatly benefit from using this social media outlet and should definitely get to it if they are not already on it.
