  • Leaning into the seasons

    It’s the holidays and people are searching for everything Christmas and New Years related right now. When posting on any platform, but especially Pinterest, leaning into the seasons is super important.

    Here is an example of what leaning into the season can do for your Pinterest account. It’s nice to see proof that this works!

    The image below shows the impressions (eyes on the pin) and engagement (clicks, saves) from this client for the month of October last year. This client had seen a bit of a decline for the previous two months and we were trying to figure out what to do.

    By leaning into Christmas and the upcoming season early and often, this client has been able to see growth in the month of November.

    Because this client posts multiple times in a month and tries to give their ideal client what they want, she continued to see growth in December as well as seen below.

    Conclusion

    The KEY to Pinterest is giving your client what they are searching for, leaning into the seasons, and CONSISTENCY.

  • The Best Tailwind Tools to Use to Grow on Pinterest

    If you really want to start working on your Pinterest marketing to grow your business, Tailwind is the best tool to use to help. Here is a list of the best Tailwind tools you should be using.

    What is Tailwind?

    Tailwind is the best approved scheduler for Pinterest in my opinion. Pinterest has approved Tailwind as an official scheduler of all things related to Pinterest marketing (as well as Instagram and Facebook) because they follow the Terms of Service for Pinterest. Tailwind has many features and tools that will help you grow on Pinterest and save a lot of time doing it.

    Tailwind Tools and Features to Use:

    1) Scheduling in Advance

    No one wants to manually pin and share content every day; which is where Tailwind comes in. You can spend time scheduling in bulk for 1-2 weeks at a time using Tailwind. This will save you a significant amount of time and allow you to put your focus back into your zone of genius in your business.

    2) Interval Scheduling

    Another excellent scheduling feature available with Tailwind is its interval scheduling. You can schedule the same pin to go to 2-3 different boards at scheduled times you specify. I generally recommend at least a 3-6 day interval between the same pin going to a different board. I use this feature in Tailwind scheduling all the time for my pins and my client’s.

    3) Tailwind Communities

    An added bonus with Tailwind is Tailwind Communities. This is basically how communities work on Tailwind:

    Someone saves a pin to a community, then reshares somebody else’s pin.

    That makes it a great method for getting more eyes on your content and resharing other people’s content from Communities to your boards that your audience will also love. The key is finding active and relevant communities that fit your content and your ideal audience

    4) Analytics

    Yes, Pinterest has analytics, and you can see the most important results of your Pinterest marketing from Google Analytics, but Tailwind has a few extra analytics that I like to take a look at. You can easily see which boards (and types of content) are the most popular for your account, what your top pins are, and more. Adding these analytics to the analytics you review from Pinterest and Google Analytics helps you get a fuller picture of how your Pinterest account is performing. 

    Dive into your Tailwind analytics once a month to see how your content, boards, and pins are all doing. This can help you continue to create content that your audience is going to love!
