The Perfect Sites for Pinterest Traffic

So, you are wondering whether or not your business is right for Pinterest or not. Does the type of business you are in attract visitors from Pinterest? The answer to this question may not be the most important factor to consider. What might be a better question is whether or not the type of business that you’re in can attract any visitors from Pinterest, and whether it will be worth the time spent to woo them.

While any type of business can make Pinterest successful, there are a few industries that just work better for the type of medium Pinterest is. Even if you don’t work in this specific niche, you might be able to change your marketing strategy to take advantage of the additional traffic that these areas of commerce get. Here are industries that seem tailor-made for Pinterest.

Travel

Travel is on everyone’s mind and while people are usually just dreaming when they look at travel pictures on Pinterest, if someone is planning a vacation and they find the perfect solution to a problem with your products or services, they might actually buy. If you are in the business of travel, know that while most of the time people aren’t seriously looking to book a flight and hotel, but when you encounter the occasional one who does, it makes it all worth it.

Home Decorating

This is a great niche because it lends itself to such a huge variety of different products and services associated with it. There are dozens of industries and thousands of products that you could promote via Pinterest in the home decorating category. Many of the people that are browsing the site are looking for remodel ideas and if you can show them something that they can see in their own home, you might just have a customer.

Arts & Crafts

Another area that has a huge potential for profit is arts and crafts. Pinterest is one of the most active sites on the Internet because of crafts specifically. People are always looking to make something, on every holiday, for every occasion. If you are in the business of selling products that can be used for arts and crafts, Pinterest is a great choice for you. Some of the crafts that are out there that people are looking for ideas on include: art, sewing, making close, creating storage spaces, making their own invitations and creating wreaths, not just for the winter holiday but all throughout the year.

Food & Drink

If your business serves any sort of food or drink, Pinterest is the perfect marketing tool for you, particularly if you can target your pens to a specific area by using tags and keywords. Consider this: people browsing Pinterest and finding food items that they want to try will probably come into your place of business in order to; perhaps not that day but sometime in the near future. A pin of the decadent food item could do more to attract customers than many other kinds of advertising.

Diet & Fitness

Everyone knows that diet and fitness are big ticket items when it comes to e-commerce niches and Pinterest is no exception. If you are in the diet or exercise business, Pinterest is going to be a mecca for you. Pinterest is full of diets, weight loss plans, recipes, exercise routines and much more. If you want to sell products and services to this audience, you should spend your time connecting with the people who see your pins and motivating those who are doing the exercise and diet plans. Show them items that can help them reach their weight loss goals and they will buy.

Books & Movies

Some of the most popular items on the Pinterest site are books and movies – with a special focus on books. People love buying books. They are only a few dollars and they are packed with great information about a variety of subjects. Promoting books is a great way to get Pinterest followers to come from the social media site to yours, as long as you actually know about the items that you are promoting and are not just making pins indiscriminately.

Fashion

Fashion is another great niche on Pinterest. People are always posting pictures of their favorite fashions and tons of traffic flock to those pins. If you can figure out how to speak to those people that are looking for fashions, you can probably get traffic that way. Of course, you need to know what you are doing in this niche, because people will be able to tell if you aren’t familiar with fashions.

Beauty & Skin Care

Beauty and skin care is a great topic to get into because there are so many different products out there and so many different things to say. All of the products on the market today for beauty can be pinned but the three largest ones are hair, eyes and nails.

Weddings & Events

Of course, you can promote just about anything in this category. Weddings require so many different products and lend themselves to a perfect Pinterest topic and one that is extremely conducive to the visual medium of Pinterst.

Gardening

Finally, you should look at gardening, a hobby that is becoming more and more popular. People are always looking for great gardening advice or suggestions and won’t resent it if you show them pictures of products that make gardening easier.
