November Updates

LATEST PINTEREST UPDATE

Latest news on Pinterest

Changes and Strategy:
October 9, 2013, Pinterest began testing promoted pins.  Promoted pins are paid placements from select retailers and businesses that appear within Pinterest’s search results and feeds.  These pins work just like regular pins but at the bottom of the pin they will have a special “promoted” label along with a link to learn more about what that means.  Pinterest is just testing these out right now.  Below is an example of what the “promoted pins” look like.

In the screen shot above, you can see the “promoted pin” label circled in red.  In the bottom right corner of a pin you will notice a small “i” logo.  Clicking on this logo will bring up the circled box the arrow is pointing to on the right.  This box gives you information about why it is posted and a link to learn more about the pin. 

Rolling out the “promoted pins” is another step in the steadily adding different enhancements to its enhancements to its service over the past several months for businesses and developers. 

Pinterest said there is a chance you will not see them for yourself because right now they are only rolling these out to a subset of Pinterest users at first.  Pinterest promises that the promoted pins will be:

Ø  Tasteful.  No flashy banners or pop-up ads.
Ø  Transparent.  You will know if someone paid for what you see, or where you see it.
Ø  Relevant.  These pins should be about things you’re actually interested in, like a delicious recipe, or a jacket that’s your style.
Ø  Improved based on your feedback.  Let them know what you think because they are working to make things better.

How To:
Since these “promoted pins” are still in the testing stages, how to get paid ads is not yet known.  To date, no one is paying for the “promoted pins.”  Pinterest is testing to see how things go and what Pinterest users think.  The company has not disclosed which advertisers are testing the Promotional Pins.  However, the pins look and act like they would if they had been paid ads.  This allows Pinterest time to refine and further test the experience.
As more information is released, I will keep you updated about the “promoted pins.”

WHY PINTEREST MAKES GOOD BUSINESS SENSE

Boy, oh, boy, those girls are looking hot!!!

Hi, there,
Yes, it is me, Shadow, the Pinterest Tipster.  Sorry about my tongue sticking out but boy, oh, boy, those girls in that video were looking lip smacking good.   Take a look for yourself. 




When I heard Anna talking to a client about Pinterest teaming with Style TV to present fashions pinned on Pinterest, I knew Pinterest was run by smart folks.  I snuck and look up more information on Anna's computer while she was gone.  (Don't tell Anna.  She doesn't  know that I can read).Not only are they doing this in the United States but they are also doing this in Europe.  I am beginning to understand why Anna likes Pinterest and wanted to help business owners learn how to use it.  Pinterest is growing by leaps and bounds and  they are also listening to their clients.  What I don't understand is why small business owners don't get in on the action now.  Makes so much sense.  Tsk. Tsk.  Guess they don't know all that I know because I listen to Anna.
