Pinterest hasn’t always been high on the social media radar for businesses.
What was once commonly viewed as a DIY tips and tricks website (predominately for women) has grown into a powerful e-commerce channel.
In the last year there has been a 120% growth in male users and it is reported that 1 in 10 Australians are now using Pinterest.
With this sudden growth, Pinterest has become a hotbed for expert social media advice. What’s great about social media advice on Pinterest is how topics are categorized into boards, making it easier than ever before to find the information you are looking for.
