By using cross-platform promotion, you can utilize your other already-developed platforms as a tool to grow an engaged Pinterest audience.<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/twprod.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/cross-promo-tw.png\" alt=\"Using Cross Promotion to Grow Your Pinterest Following\" class=\"wp-image-4480 lazyload\" title=\"Using Cross Promotion to Grow Your Pinterest Following\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s no secret that Facebook and Twitter are marketing powerhouses for brands. But did you know Pinterest can pack a mighty punch as well? While there are many benefits to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tailwindapp.com\/perks-of-being-on-pinterest\">being on Pinterest<\/a>, as outlined below, many brands are wary of investing in the platform because their audience is already developed elsewhere. By using cross promotion, you can easily build a strong Pinterest following from users who are <em><strong>already interested <\/strong><\/em>in what you have to say.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-benefits-of-being-on-pinterest\"><strong>Benefits of Being on Pinterest<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-hyper-targeted-content\"><strong>Hyper-Targeted Content<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Because Twitter and Facebook lack any form of content segmentation, often a users feed becomes cluttered with irrelevant information causing them to &#8216;unfollow&#8217; or &#8216;unlike&#8217; a brand. However, because Pinterest provides the ability to follow certain boards, rather than a brand&#8217;s entire profile, users experience a heightened sense of control over their home feeds. While this is great news for users, it is also great news for brands. Now, instead of spamming all of your followers with information that may &#8211; or may not &#8211; be of interest to them, you can simply create multiple boards for the multiple facets of your company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-longer-lifespan\"><strong>Longer Lifespan<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Perhaps due to the news feeds cluttered with irrelevant information, the lifespan of content on Twitter is only 5-25 minutes&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.marketingpilgrim.com\/2011\/04\/new-study-half-life-of-a-facebook-post.html\">Facebook content only lasts&nbsp;80 minutes<\/a>. The lifespan of content on Pinterest?&nbsp;<em><strong>More than one week<\/strong><\/em>. To see an example of this phenomenon, check out our <a href=\"https:\/\/tailwindapp.com\/blog\/viral-pin\">Family Tree of a Viral Pin<\/a> graphic, which shows a pin that took <em>32 weeks<\/em> to finally go viral.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-higher-roi\"><strong>Higher ROI<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tailwindapp.com\">Proving ROI<\/a>&nbsp;is fundamental to brands adopting a social network &nbsp;into their marketing mix. And while many brands have adopted Twitter and Facebook, Pinterest is often &#8211; an mistakenly- overlooked. When comparing the amount of revenue from a social platform, an average Twitter user who clicks through to your site is likely to spend $69, while an average Facebook user will likely spend $80. However, when an average Pinterest user clicks through to your site, they are <em><strong>likely to spend<\/strong><\/em>&nbsp;<em><strong>$179<\/strong><\/em>! Because Pinterest skews to an older, wealthier crowd, the traffic received from the network is of higher quality, and will produce a higher ROI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, many brands have been unable to build a strong following on Pinterest, making cross-platform promotions an invaluable tool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-cross-platform-promotions\"><strong>Cross-Platform Promotions<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Because Pinterest is relatively new, many brands have already invested time and resources into audience development over Twitter, Facebook, and email. So why not take advantage of these pre-made audiences with a little cross-promotion? By using your Facebook, Twitter and email subscribers&nbsp;to help promote your Pinterest page, you can gain followers who are <em><strong>currently engaging<\/strong><\/em> and who <em><strong>actually want to engage<\/strong><\/em> with your brand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-jeep\"><strong>Jeep<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/jeep\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/twprod.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/jeep1-1024x709.png\" alt=\"Jeep Uses Cross Promotion to Boost Their Pinterest Presence\" class=\"wp-image-4210 lazyload\" title=\"Jeep Uses Cross Promotion to Boost Their Pinterest Presence\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/709;\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">In September 2012, Jeep promoted their Pinterest account over Facebook, where they have accumulated millions of Likes. &nbsp;For this simple promotion, Jeep posted a picture of a vehicle with a link back to their Pinterest account.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/twprod.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Untitled-copy-copy1.png\" alt=\"Jeep Uses Cross Promotion to Growth Their Pinterest Following\" class=\"wp-image-4240 lazyload\" title=\"Jeep Uses Cross Promotion to Growth Their Pinterest Following\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">Through this one Facebook post, Jeep was able to gain over <em><strong>1,000 Pinterest followers<\/strong><\/em> in only two days, and their <em><strong>growth tripled<\/strong> <\/em>from 35 followers per week to <em><strong>110 followers per week<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-xyron\"><strong>Xyron<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Adhesive crafting company,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/xyron.com\">Xyron<\/a>,\u00a0wanted to quickly grow their Pinterest presence and engagement.
