In this post, I will discuss 10 advantages of Pinterest business account for your social media marketing strategy. Though personal Pinterest account is great for marketing your business, however, a Pinterest business account takes the marketing game to the next level.
Here are the 10 Benefits of Pinterest Business Account For Marketing:
1) Beautiful Header image with a collection of your Latest pins: Digital marketing is all how about easily people can discover and find your products. When you create a Pinterest business account all your latest pins are displayed in this visually striking interface in the header of your page also known as the profile cover.
You also have 3 options to change your profile cover. Click on “Edit Source of Tilted Pins” button on the right side.
Here you can select your profile cover to include Latest Pins or Recent Activity or pick a board.
Click on Done.
2) Big Bold Profile with Business Name: When you create a Pinterest business account you get big bold text fonts for your Business name, bigger display picture, big About you text and big location text along with big fonts for your website link. Big bold fonts means users can easily see your business name and details and are more likely to click on your website link. Pinterest also displays Boards, Pins, Activity, Tries, Followers and Following in bold tabs. Note that Activity is not displayed on a Pinterest personal account.
