Seeking success with Pinterest marketing?
Use a Pinterest Planner!
Pinterest isn’t tough to master, once you understand its unique rhythm, and work with it instead of against it.
The big difference between Pinterest and social media platforms – and its HUGE advantage – is that “Pins” (Pinterest posts) can live for years to drive traffic to your blog and products.
Compare that to minutes for a Twitter tweet, and a few hours for Facebook and Instagram posts.
Even Idea Pins live on, compared to FB and IG Stories that only last for 24 hours.
But this also means that, to reap the rewards of Pinterest, you need to plan your daily, weekly, and monthly tasks in advance!
Pinners are Planners
Pinners love to use Pinterest to plan for holidays and celebrations. And they start early!
That’s because Pinners are planners. They’re looking for inspiration. From your business, perhaps?
I’ve found great success posting seasonal content on Pinterest – I even started a separate Pinterest board for Holiday Marketing.
You don’t need to be in the food or party niche to take advantage of holiday marketing.
Even if your business isn’t seasonal, you can use imagery that taps into the current vibe. Like this Pin I made for Instagram schedulers.
Pinners loved the Spring-y vibe. I’ll make others for Fall and Winter later in the year.
But when do seasons start on Pinterest?
Earlier than you might think! And they last longer, too. Some holidays are searched almost year-round.
Why you must plan early on Pinterest
Pinners are big-time planners. They tend to start searching twice as early as people on other platforms, because Pinterest helps them decide where to shop and what to buy.
They use Pinterest to find easy ideas and new twists on the traditional, for both everyday celebrations and major milestones.
By reaching Pinners at an early stage of their planning process, you’re able to place your products or services in front of them, and get their awareness of what you have to offer.
Don’t miss this golden opportunity!

Everything people do on Pinterest leads them closer to action. They’re not just searching or browsing for different things—they’re buying them too!
Since people use Pinterest at all stages of the consumer journey, your brand can play a role all the way from inspiration to purchase.

You’ll see just how early Pinners start saving content as they search for new ideas to try.
As you browse, think about how you can use the thought starters to make your products and services relevant to Pinners at the right time. Your ideas could be just the ones they’re looking for!

Great article Louise!
Pinterest has become a huge source of traffic, the best part is that it is consistent, unlike many other social sites.
We have seen great results for one of our new sites, passed over 100k impression in 15 days.
Louise Myers says
I suppose it can be fairly consistent. Depends on your niche and whether you have a pin or pins going viral. I’ve found it to be nowhere near the consistency of normal search traffic (like Google), where things don’t “go viral.” 😉
