If you’re a frequent user of Pinterest you may have noticed the same pin popping up in your news each time you log in. The one I’ve noticed in my feed is an image displaying an elastic belt that’s used to store a wallet or phone marketed to runners. Within the pin you will notice the word “sponsored”. Since Spring of 2014 Pinterest has slowly introduced their advertising platform to select businesses in the US. If you would like to be granted access you place your business page on a waiting list and after some time they will send you an email.

Have you used Pinterest advertising yet?
Have a great week,
