...PInterest says that today, there are now tens of millions of product pins on its site, and early results show that these are generating higher clickthrough rates to the e-commerce sites versus regular pins. The company has said that this year’s focus is on bringing more value to the pins users are saving on the site, not only with richer pins, but also tools for businesses including also improved Pin It buttons which now work in mobile apps, widget builders, and even analytics. With the debut of price alerting, the company is challenging several startups which help consumers figure out when it is the right time to buy. Some of those are Decide.com, whose focus is more on consumer electronics and larger purchases for the home, plus recently launched Nifti, and even a Pinterest for price drops, Clipix, as well as a slew of older tools for price alerting and tracking sales. More generally, though, this also puts Pinterest up against other social product aggregators like Fancy or Wanelo, the former which has always been more of an actionable, shoppable feed of products, while the other is more focused on making it easier to find what’s popular at your favorite stores....

Forget about the typical reasons that brands pay attention to Pinterest. Instead, think of Pinterest in a new way: as a compelling market research tool. Let's evolve the prevalent social mantra: It's not what you say about you; it's what your customers say about you. In today's booming Visual Revolution, it's not what your customers say. It's what they show. In reality, the nearly 50 million Pinterest users are actually master product crowdsourcers who are deep in development on one of the best CRM tools ever. Even better for brands, these aspirational pinners are singlehandedly reinventing market research....

When the social network of Pinterest first started in March of 2010, people loved it as a visual place to create their holiday “wish-list” boards. They would create boards of stuff they liked online and would never know where it would lead to.Well, these wish-lists are now becoming a true reality, as Pinterest is becoming both a true e-commerce and brick-n-mortar player! Back in May, the photo-sharing network began allowing “rich pins”, which allows users to post detailed information about an item, such as the originating image site and product purchase information. Now they are taking it one step further by providing price drop summarized email notifications to its users for photos they pinned. That can be huge for e-commerce, as Pinterest users spend on average of 14 minutes a session on the social network, an eternity in cyber-space!But, not only is Pinterest leading people to a business website for e-commerce purposes but according to recent data distributed by the Vision Council and Harvard Business Review, 21% of Pinterest users had bought an item in an actual store after pinning, repining or liking the item on Pinterest....

The minute I looked at Pinterest I knew it would be for me. As a user. As a marketing tool,that's been a little slower in the making. This is an interesting piece so do enjoy. I think a carefully crafted campaign to make use of the goodwill on the channel, giving lots of value and carefully crafted links etc. could in the right hands create a nice little thread to follow.
Have you thought of using Pinterest this way?

I remember when pinterest is just starting up. Most of the user would just pin random stuff and ofcourse their personal links without and good graphics or images in the post. Then you can see random un-organized boards as a result of manipulative link building (they say) without any purpose at all. Now online stores have seen the power of pinterest and the ability to organized their product images along with products description and URL, and they have used it for Marketing Purposes. Hope this post will teach other SEO Specialist how to use pinterest the right way.

The image-driven network's meteoric rise in only a few years shows the site is more than just a pretty community for people interested in fashion and lifestyle: Marketers are all over Pinterest’s lead-generation aspects, and online hits on products from the site have proved a marketing sensation. According to a study by Shareaholic, the site drives more referral traffic than Google+, YouTube, and LinkedIn combined. But marketers still struggle to define what makes for a successful Pinterest content strategy--and what does not. Based on my experience with Pinterest analytics and with the support of Pinterest-savvy folks at ShareRoot, I have come up with a list of metrics that marketers should pay attention to when it comes to this social network.

Is Pinterest the most sales actionable social network out there? This very question came to me as I came across a recent interview with Pinterest CEO Ben Silbermann in MIT Technology Review. When asked the question oft-dreaded by many a techrepreneur, namely, “when do you plan on making money,” the first sentence of Silbermann’s reply struck me as instructive: “The whole reason Pinterest exists is to help people discover the things that they love and then go take action on them, and a lot of the things they take action on are tied to commercial intent.” While this snippet (the rest of his reply was similarly tangential to the question asked) sounds a bit like an opaque dodge, for business’ and marketers, it should be a clarion call to action....
