Find out if we’re the right Pinterest Ads agency for you.
There are so many social media platforms available to reach your target audience – why is Pinterest important?
With its over 444 million active monthly users, Pinterest is more than just a social media platform. Rather than simply scrolling to stay up to date socially, Pinterest functions as a way to be inspired, to find new ideas, organize, plan projects, and strategize for the future. Positioning your brand or business in front of your target audience while they're browsing and discovering means you have the first opportunity to present them with your products and offerings – ahead of your competitors.
Pinterest ads appear in users’ feeds visually just like a regular pin, meaning you aren’t interrupting their engagement experience. The benefit is you capture their attention while they're already looking for the products you sell. Therefore, Pinterest has one of the lowest CPCs in social media advertising when combining their free and paid advertising tools.
Are you new to the world of Pinterest Ads? Or maybe you have run a few campaigns before but with minimal results? When it comes to effective Pinterest Advertising, it isn’t as simple as just creating ads, publishing them, and waiting for sales to pour in. There are strategic marketing tactics that need to be used to see valuable returns.

While the benefits of Pinterest Ads are plenty, as numbers people, it’s important for us to demonstrate the quantitative impact Pinterest can have on your marketing and sales.
From a target-market perspective, Pinterest users are in line with those who make purchase decisions for a household, an important statistic that sets the platform apart.
More than 70% of Pinterest users are women; however, male pinners are growing, up 40% year over year, meaning the platform is becoming more attractive than ever to businesses that target both women and men, as well as male-dominated products. With Gen Z being an important player in the target demographic of many industries, the 40% increase in Gen Z users year over year signifies the growing potential of increased selling opportunities.
From a marketing perspective, and compared to other social media platforms, Pinterest has a 2.3x more efficient cost per conversion (CPC), as well as a 2x higher return on ad spend for retail brands. To highlight the power of Pinterest, 46% of those who pin weekly have discovered a new brand or product on the platform.
Whether you are a new brand or are looking to grow your audience and sales via social media, Pinterest can be an effective way to build your business.
The precise targeting tools that the platform offers ensure your marketing efforts are streamlined to reach those who are already looking for products that you offer as well as those who are in a buying mode while discovering new ideas.
Pinterest’s targeting tools include automatic targeting that utilizes their technology to find an audience based on your pin, demographics including age, gender, location, and language, interests based on the topics users search for and interact with, and keywords that function like a search engine that set the platform apart from other social media. There’s also an option to upload your customer lists to appear in front of a warm audience who have already engaged with your business, as well as Actalikes, which finds audiences similar to those who have already engaged with your Pinterest ads and are existing customers.
Pinterest has an advertising solution for each of your marketing goals and KPIs.
The lifespan of a Pinterest Pin is one of its most valuable attributes. Unlike tweets, Facebook posts or Instagram posts, which are all moving towards stories and vanishing content, Pinterest content remains relevant for much longer – months or even years after being posted. As an advertiser, posting Pinterest Ads that are more evergreen, not time-sensitive, is a great way to take advantage of this.
Pinterest’s search engine has its own search algorithm. The results displayed are the most relevant to the phrase or keyword searched rather than the newest pins, meaning you get more longevity from your advertisements. The planning and ideation format of Pinterest also attracts those who are looking to make purchases, like fashionistas creating their capsule wardrobe using boards.
The untapped potential of Pinterest means there are currently fewer advertisers crowding the platform, giving you a blue ocean experience that is more organic and, therefore, oftentimes more effective.
Imagine this, you’re styling your dream home décor on Pinterest, and you’re excited to bring your vision to life. You’ve found the perfect couch, coffee table and lamp situation from your favorite magazines, and now you want to make it real – and make a purchase. As you’re ideating, discovering, and searching, the exact furniture or similar options are advertised to you directly on the platform, so all you need to do is tap to shop and live in your dream space.
That’s the power of Pinterest. Getting in front of your customers before they even go searching. You didn’t need to wait for them to shift gears into buying mode, because they were already in that headspace. You didn’t interrupt their creative flow; you made their process easier. The 444 million active monthly users mean you always have a large warm audience who are much more receptive and appreciative of advertising.
