Are you measuring your Pinterest marketing initiatives?
Pinterest has established itself as the dominant online source of visual inspiration. The social bookmarking site enables users collect and share photos of their favorite events, interests, and hobbies. Pinterest users spend more money, shop more frequently, and purchase items more often and in larger quantities than users on any other social network. It has become a huge traffic referral for businesses, but marketers often struggle with Pinterest content strategies. Enter Pinterest metrics.
Why use Pinterest analytics?
It’s crucial for brands to understand whether their time spent on any social network is generating results. The number of followers you have is important, but it shouldn’t be the final arbiter of your Pinterest content strategy. Consistently measuring your activity on the platform will help you identify the types of content that resonate the most with your target audience. It will also help you increase visits to your website, and generate leads and sales.
