Repin influencers pins to directly connect with them while also sharing content that pertains to your audience. This will provide you the opportunity to build relationships with fellow influencers and thought leaders and maintain pin activity on your own page.

Pinterest advertising offers two types of campaign objectives: awareness and consideration. Pinterest ads will allow you to directly target your audience with four different options: promoted pins, promoted video pins, one-tap promoted pins and promoted app pins. The type of ad you choose for your strategy will depend on your audience and objectives but ensure your ads have an eye-catching call-to-action in the pin description.

5. Add save buttons to your website

Optimizing your website for users to have the ability to pin content is a great addition to your content marketing efforts. With Pinterest buttons you have the option to use automatic buttons, hover buttons or add the save button directly to one image on your site. If a blog is a critical element of your marketing plan then implementing a save pin to this designated landing page will provide your audience an additional platform to share your content on.
