Pinterest may be well known for being a social media hotspot for foodies, aspiring interior decorators, and brides-to-be, but the platform’s influence on e-commerce and it’s ability to drive web traffic are making it increasingly attractive to brands and businesses.

According to a study conducted by Millward Brown Digital and Pinterest, 93% of users reported using Pinterest to plan for purchases. Pinterest is a natural fit for brands, providing the opportunity to market products and services before purchases occur, to an audience who is actively looking for information that will help guide their decisions.

We’ve written about how businesses can be successful on Pinterest by leveraging popular content categories, creating themed boards, pinning about customer success stories, and empowering their employees to actively use the platform.

Implementing these Pinterest strategies can have a positive impact on your business goals, but it can also present a few challenges. Content creation and lengthy approval processes can take up valuable time and resources, so you need a solution that makes it easy to integrate Pinterest into your daily social media workflow.
