PINTEREST
What Is Pinterest?
Pinterest is a visual search engine that is particularly
helpful for finding inspiring, useful ideas and projects.
It is available via www.pinterest.com and/or a
mobile app.
• The platform allows users to upload, save and sort
images—referred to as “pins”—from around the web.
• Pinterest features a search bar to explore the
network for images (aka pins) according to
your interests.
• When you click on a “pin,” you will be redirected
to the originating source of that image.
How is Pinterest Used?
• People post beautiful and inspiring pictures
recipes, how-to’s and more on Pinterest.
• The pictures can be “liked” or “repinned”
—repinning puts that image onto your own board.
• Viewers can also comment on pins.
Why Should I Put My Salon on Pinterest?
• Pinterest will boost the overall web presence of your salon,
in addition to your search engine optimization (SEO). This
helps drive more exposure for your salon.
• You can link pins directly to your salon website where users
will be able to request information.
