Pinterest is one of the fastest increasing ways for businesses to market their product to consumers. Consumers are exposed to companies advertisements and don’t even realize it, and businesses get to advertise their products to consumers at little or no cost. Pinterest is a perfect market to advertise to consumers because they don’t have to worry about drawing consumers in and gaining traffic through their pins. Consumers actively seek out products that they are already in the market for. When i joined interest i immediately knew what type of contest i wanted to enter. I typed in mopeds in the search bar on pinterst because i’ve been in the market for a moped to drive around campus. After only a few seconds of searching i was able to find a contest to enter to win a Kate Spade New York Vespa. By simply creating a unique pin board and pinning the page to the board i was able to enter myself in the contest. The board i created was called “contest” and i immediately repined the board to my personal pinterest page. A simple contest by the company like the one that i entered is an effective way to drastically increase the sales and the traffic through the pinterest page and other web pages of the site. The pinterest page also has a link to the company blog which a consumer can visit so that they can increase traffic on multiple fronts from simply hosting a contest on their pinterest page. PInterest is a perfect way for both small and large companies to advertise their products.
