Why run campaigns on Pinterest?
While Pinterest is counted as a social media, actual networking between people is a secondary element on this platform. First and foremost, Pinterest is, as the name suggests, an online pinboard. This is filled with; users interests, DIYs to try out or recipes that you would like to share. As a rule, people search for specific things on Pinterest. That is exactly what sets this channel apart from other social media channels.
There are around 16 million monthly Pinterest users in Germany. Worldwide there are over 450 million, although the number fluctuates. Most of them are female.
The main advantage for a Pinterest campaign is the high traffic. Since this platform is similar to a search engine and users search specifically for their interests, there is a high willingness to click on the posts.
This special feature is also relevant in the targeting options. There are the well-known targeting options such as geo- and demographic targeting, plus Pinterest also uses search keywords. Well thought-out keyword targeting will lead to the best results in your Pinterest campaigns.
Search engine marketing meets social media: Pinterest combines the strengths of these two worlds.
