What is Pinterest?

Pinterest is a search engine for images.

In contrast to what many consider it as social media platforms, Pinterest is actually a visual search engine, just like Google, where it shows different visuals in “pins” depending on the keywords that are being searched.

The biggest difference between Google and Pinterest is that the latter service focuses on “Image” rich content, such as images and videos over “Text”. Hence, it is an essential tool to succeed in this SNS Marketing Platform also to be able to have great visual marketing assets.

The largest user base component consists of women, accounting for 80% of the total pie (for Japan). Half of the total users are between 35 -54, signifying a higher income/purchasing power than in many other platforms (such as Twitter). This would be a top-rated platform for businesses in Japan or Asia to target their audience if they were catering to women with a higher income.

Many mainly use the service to find How to DIY – inspiration for products, learn new ideas and knowledge, and purchase goods and services. This is where I focus on providing ideas and knowledge to understand what you are providing is useful people.

Pinterest as part of your SNS marketing strategy – Personal Branding Strategy

My answer would be that all businesses should include Pinterest in their sns | marketing strategy, using it as a visual storytelling and marketing tool. More than 175 billion pins are on the platform today, going over contents from a diverse set of industries and categories. This means that it accepts everything and everyone, as long as you have something of value to offer to the public.

As mentioned, albeit growing its presence rapidly in Japan, it’s still an area where not many have challenged, which again signifies a great opportunity for you and your business to achieve a high ranking and authority for your selected keywords.

I will have to mention that businesses that offer e-commerce and blogs that share valuable information tend to do better on the service than others. You could do many workarounds, for example, if you’re a professional agency in a specific industry, write blogs that focus on your expert, and share it on Pinterest. You’ll be able to reach many new leads coming from your content (a merge of visual and content marketing).

  • Being active on the platform is necessary – Create/repin at least 10 pins per day (saving other users’ pins count).
  • Use appropriate keywords – It’s a search engine just like Google, so find keywords that people may search to look for your content.
