Holiday Boards on Pinterest

by | Jun 14, 2014 | eCommerce News, eCommerce Selling Tips, Selling on eBay, Social Media Tips

Pinterest is an effective social marketing and branding tool for any size business( small, medium and large) on Social Media whether your a brick and mortar store, internet or both.

Let’s say you have a Father’s Day Board on Pinterest.
What do you do once the Holiday is over? Do you leave the Board up or delete it?

Rather than lose the followers to that board you can rename the board to something appropriate. So if it’s been let’s say a Mother’s Day Board you could relabel it “What to get that woman in your life” or “Perfect gifts for Her”. You get the idea?

You don’t want to relabel something that has nothing to do with what you were pinning as people followed that board for that content.

One thing to keep in mind anytime you change the name of a Pinterest Board you are changing the URL. If you have put the board somewhere else in the social media world or if you have embedded it as a widget on a page renaming the Pinterest Board will kill the link. In that case you’d want to not change the name. 

So in 5 seconds(or less) you can rename your board and keep your followers. It’s a win win solution.

Next year when that Holiday rolls around just relabel your board again and you’re good to go.
Time to get busy pinning!

The Holiday is over what do I do with my Holiday Pinterest Board?

Want more customers?
Listen.Yup listen.
What’s your area of sales? Let’s say pet products.
Go on twitter and Pinterest and in search pets, names of breeds etc..
Then engage.
On Pinterest leave friendly comments. Like Pins.
On Twitter search by hashtags & engage in a similar way being brief using a few words. Retweet. Be nice. Be friendly.
What you’ll find is people will follow you. They will respond to your comments by favoriting them etc..
It’s about creating relationship  and community.

They’ll see you sell products and if they’re interested they’ll come take a look at your products. Nothing wrong with your mentioning them while you’re also busy liking their posts & retweeting their comments.

Be friendly. Have fun. You will gain far better results than sell sell sell. You’ll also have more fun. Fun is contagious. Hard sell is not.

Friendly engagement is attractive to people.
