Pinterest just hired a new CEO with one goal, to turn Pinterest into “America's shopping mall”. Let’s talk about how this impacts marketers and where we need to be putting our energy if you have a product to sell.

I know that you’ve all heard my story about growing a Pinterest marketing agency, but it’s always helpful to hear other people’s story of growth. In this episode, I interview Presh Rodgers about her journey to what her agency looks like today.

This summer we’re airing a summer story series for those who need a little break from all the tips and just need to listen to how others approach business and even how they grew their platform. These are a series of business owners I’ve handpicked to hear their stories with the hope of being inspired. Some I’ve heard before and want to share with you, but others are totally new to me and I’m excited to be led down the path of their story in hopes to learn more about them and possibly something about myself.

I have one ask for you as you listen to this series. When an episode impacts you will you share it with a friend? I believe stories have the power to help us learn and provide ah-ha moments that we often need as we’re growing our business. Your share with a friend would be the highest compliment of this podcast and I’d love it if you would extend the story to another.

Joy Wilson is well known for her daily dabbles in butter and sugar as her blogging alter ego, Joy the Baker. Today she shares her story about what it was like back in 2008 when she started and how her business has grown throughout the years.

In today’s online world there’s so much to navigate if you’re a maker trying to get in front of consumers. Listen to this story of Andrea Li, a jewelry designer, helping to teach other makers how to use Pinterest to market their product.

Tasha Booth was someone I was introduced to when we were looking to launch our membership site. Our work with her launch team was so delightful we struck up a friendship and have since noodled back and forth on topics from agency growth to social justice. Here is the story of how Tasha grew her business and what it’s been like to navigate this online world as a woman of color. I’m so delighted to share with you her story.

Today we’re diving into the story of Neal Schaffer. He specializes in helping marketers figure out How you choose to spend your time, money based on what your KPI's are. This will be a great story of how someone out in the world works to figure out how to do this for their own business and others. Plus, we will talk about how everyone is wondering if Pinterest marketing is still worth it. Hint, it’s tied to ROI.

Throughout the summer we’re taking a bit of a pause in talking about the technical pieces of Pinterest marketing and deep-diving into the stories of other business owners. Our hope is that through story you’ll be inspired, take away a few nuggets of wisdom, and be fueled through story to keep your business growing and moving ahead. In this episode, I talk with Amber of Biceps after Babies about why she started the business and how she is balancing business and health.

We’re kicking off something fun here at the podcast, a summer story series. These are a series of business owners I’ve handpicked to hear their stories with the hope of being inspired. Some I’ve heard before and want to share with you, but others are totally new to me and I’m excited to be lead down the path of their story in hopes to learn more about them and possibly something about myself. And first up, me. I’ve asked my very first coach to interview me about what it’s been like to grow Simple Pin Media from the start.

Pinterest is one of the most underrated platforms for eCommerce brands but those who are already using it know that it’s one of the best-kept secrets for marketing their products out there. But it takes some convincing. Today I have our eCommerce specialist at Simple Pin to talk about what’s stopping people from setting up their shop and the advantages they have once they do get it set up.

At a recent conference I spoke at an attendee was lamenting the fact that it felt like there were so many Pinterest experts out there but they all said different things. I think in all industries you have this problem, but for Pinterest, how do you know what’s true and not true. And ultimately trust what the data tells. You.

Late in 2021 Pinterest added a new feature – Pinterest TV. Seems a little out of the box for the platform, but one of their special creators Isabelle Dias is on today to talk about what Pinterest TV is and how it can help your business grow.

Pinterest is all about early planning. The pinner often plans at least 3-6 months in advance before an event. Some of those who are a little late in planning will visit the platform about a month before to look for ideas. Summer is not exception. People want to take advantage of vacation, no school, the warm weather, and the need to explore. 

Intro - Call to Action: Pinterest has 513 million monthly users and some of those are your ideal audience. The ones who will buy your products, click on your ads, visit your website and sign up for your email list. If you’re spinning your wheels wondering how to get in front of these people instead of your competition getting in front of them, it’s time to come up with a Pinterest marketing plan that increases your reach. If you’re ready to have someone manage your account or kickstart your Pitnerest Ads, book a discovery call with our team.
