Everything You Need to Know About Pinterest [9 Infographics]

There’s no denying that there is a new kid on the social media block and her name is Pinterest and she is creating a big BUZZ.  Pinterest is a virtual bulletin board that originally appealed to mostly woman but has now been grasped by businesses and savvy marketers.  Similar to the new visual direction of Facebook’s timeline, Pinterest is also visual.

I am a huge fan of infographics, in fact, follow me on Pinterest to see my board on Fantastic Infographics.  There are some great infographics explaining the how’s and why’s of Pinterest.  Using some of the best visual examples I could find I will explain Pinterest.

1. What is Pinterest?

Infographic Labs takes a look at what Pinterest is, who is using it, pin etiquette, Pinterest slang and a brief how-to. I love the tip about adding a price in the description to get a price banner on your image.!

4. Should Your Business Be On Pinterest?

If you’re contemplating whether your business should enter the Pinterest scene this infographic by Intuit can help you decide by answering a few questions. Are you a product or service related business?  Are your products visually appealing and do you have the resources to create quality images and is your website accommodating? These are things to consider before a business should consider Pinterest. This is one of my favorite Pinterest infographics.

5. Why Is Pinterest Addictive?

Flowtown created this graphic with Column Five Media. Points taken are the secret weapon is with the simplistic design where the image takes center stage. Many pinners seek refuge from the drama on Facebook and Twitter and the fact that it is so accessible with the browser plugin.  WARNING:  Pinterest can become addictive!!

Dan Zarrella, with Hubspot, gathered information on over 11,000 pinned images and did some analysis to create the infographic below.  Here you can see how important description length, certain keywords and size are to getting repins. A surprising take away for me was that taller images are more repinnable.
