Design Inspirations on Pinterest

One site that is often “forgotten” about when it comes to social marketing, but I’ve seen great results from, is Pinterest. They even recognized that more and more companies were using them, and now have an option for you to create a business account or convert your old account to a business account. This allows you to share private boards with your clients (we’re using it with ours), or your team to help find design inspiration.

But, how can you get relevant traffic by using Pinterest? The article “Pinterest Traffic: 3 Fast Tricks You Can Use Today” provides 3 great tips on how to use your Pinterest account to gain relevant traffic to your business. In short, the 3 tips are:

  1. Find & Reach Out to Influencers
