Pinterest allows users to share and save content to multiple people for a long period of time compared to Twitter or Facebook.

Pinterest is like a bookmarking social discovery site, it has a little different demographic than Facebook and Instagram. What makes Pinterest most unique is that you don’t have to stay on the platform to consume content, you can save the content that you love and can access it later. On the contrary, Facebook and Instagram don’t allow users to leave the platform, you have to stay on the algorithm to consume the content.

Secondly, Pinterest is the hub of information, you can search your queries on Pinterest just as you do on google. You can search all the “how to do tutorials” and get the relatable information So, it’s not just a search engine but a hotbed for potential buyers.

Get Started with Pinterest

We do not have a presence on Pinterest yet but we have done some work for our clients and we do not recommend that you have to follow how your competitors post over there but you can observe and make your own strategy for it something like Instagram,
