ANECDOTE

Accidental Pivot To Pinterest

  • She tested Pinterest, made a sale in 30 days, and pivoted to offer it as a core service by 2023.
INSIGHT

Users Come With Purchase Intent

  • Dana observes Pinterest users now come with intent to find solutions, not just to scroll for ideas.
  • That intent makes Pinterest a powerful channel for driving purchase-focused traffic.
ADVICE

Start Small And Scale Pins

  • Start with one to two pins per day and expect at least three months to build momentum.
  • Increase volume gradually once pins gain traction because Pinterest traffic compounds over time.
