Pinterest is a platform where people go for inspiration. Creative minds go there looking for ideas for unique weddings, retro styles, home decor, and even low-rider bicycles! There’s something for everyone on Pinterest so depending on your audience, it could just be the place for you to run ads for your business. Here are some steps and tips for becoming a Pinterest ad pro.
What goes into setting up a Pinterest ad
- To begin advertising, you’ll need to set up a campaign.
- You’ll first be asked to select Ad Groups. You’ll set your bid and budget here and select your targeted audience. Then you can create multiple ad groups to achieve various goals and share different chapters of your business story.
- Next you’ll promote Pins within each ad group that best fit your campaign objective.
- Now create your Goal. Do you want more followers, sell more products, more awareness? Whatever objective you choose, just make sure it aligns with your business goals.
Pinterest ad tips
- Create an image for your Pin that grabs attention. You can choose multiple Pins that promote the same product so try different images for different audiences.
- When your pin is curated and posted, you can pay to promote it so that it appears in your target audience’s feed.
