Halloween should be selling now!
It means if you are selling anything Halloween related it better be flying off the shelves NOW!
If your Halloween sales on ebay, Etsy and your website are on target, great! If they are not and or if it’s time to take your online business up a notch, look to Pinterest!
Pinterest is social media that is online scrapbooks created by users that boasts 100 million users as of September 2015!
If you’re not familiar with Pinterest or want to brush up on your pinning skill here is a video I did to help sellers optimize their Pinterest pins and boards!
You may think to yourself, “Kathy I have Halloween boards already on Pinterest! I’m finding that my Halloween boards are not getting repins and likes!” Online seller you have come to the right place!
I find on Pinterest that you need to micro niche your boards and that as a seller you need to be social.
If you sell Halloween costumes don’t have 1 board with all your costumes. Break your costumes down by age. For instance create Pinterest boards for Halloween costumes for adults, Halloween costumes for babies etc.
Micro niche Your Pinterest Boards for Halloween!
Remember Pinterest is social media. So on Pinterest as on all social media platforms you want to be social.
So you say to me, “Kathy I have no idea how to be social about Halloween on Pinterest.”
One of the great free services that Pinterest gives business account holders is a list of interests of your followers!
Under the audience tab in your analytics dashboard you’ll find a tab for interests. Click the tab and voila free from Pinterest you are given awesome ideas for social and product boards!
Pinterest’s personalized statistics tells you as seller in your business dashboard what Pinterest specifically found that your people like to see and pin!
