Why Pinterest Works? Your Questions Answered
Take a look why your small business or indie brand needs to include Pinterest in its marketing strategy.
WHY PINTEREST?
It’s a visual search and discovery platform that gives people their next big idea. Pinterest is a one-stop shop for inspiration, new products and new possibilities.
Did you know? Pinterest has 518m monthly active users around the world. Each month they’re looking for ideas to help them plan, visualise and create a life they love.
Over 97% of searches on Pinterest are unbranded. As a result a small independent brand has just as much potential to reach a new audience as huge well-known brands.
Your Pins will go on forever and will continue to drive traffic to your website long after you’ve saved them to your account. Invest time and Pinterest will pay off long-term -> All Pins are evergreen.
Did you know? Google favours Pinterest and often puts Pinterest at the top of search results. And because every Pin contains an outbound link it generates traffic to your website.
THE BENEFITS OF PINTEREST MARKETING
Pinterest is a powerful marketing tool and if used strategically you will be able to:
- Reach your perfect customer
- Drive traffic to your website or online shop
- Grow your online visibility and brand awareness
- Grow your email list
- And most importantly increase your sales
The pressure is off with Pinterest. You don’t need lots of followers, likes or comments to get results. There is a lot of noise out there and it’s hard for a small business to stand out and be heard. Pinterest is the antidote. It offers a purposeful and soulful alternative way to market your business. It cuts through all the noise and slowly but surely helps your business to grow while you spend your time creating and running your business.

“I would recommend Curly Carrot to any small business, Georgie and Dörte share plenty of practical, achievable advice on how to maximise a potential audience on Pinterest through simple steps and personalised feedback.”
“I found the online Pinterest course so useful and I’m totally amazed that I’m starting to see results so quickly”
“I’ve just signed up to your course. Only two lessons in and I’m already making improvements to my Pinterest feed! Can’t wait to see the rest ? ”
“The Pinterest Workshop was delivered in a chilled out, collaborative setting. We were taught the technical ways of Pinterest in a very easy to understand way. I would highly recommend to anyone looking to get under the skin of this app which can offer such good returns on investment. .”
Although I actively embrace all forms of social media for myself and my clients, I have previously only ‘dabbled’ in Pinterest. It was after taking part in one of Dörte’s Pinterest coaching sessions that I truly began to find the love. Understanding that Pinterest is more of a search engine than a social media platform, and creating content that really works and drives traffic has been part of this journey.
“I loved the Pinterest Workshop. It was inspiring, motivating and also really impressive how such a huge subject was tackled so clearly and concisely.”
