O To use rich pins, you need to apply for them. According to Pinterest, there are four steps to this process.

O Decide which type of rich pin you want to use.O Read the documentation for your chosen rich pin

type.O Add the appropriate metatags to your website.O Validate your rich pins and apply to get them on

Pinterest.O You can find out more about applying for and

enabling rich pins on Pinterest's developers page

Page 134: Instagram and pinterest for business in hancock oct 2015

O Tagging users: Just like on Twitter, you can tag users using the @ symbol on Pinterest. When you're writing a description for your pin or adding a comment to someone else's pin, just type in the @ symbol and the username of the person you want to tag, and they'll be notified.

O Karen Leland, branding, marketing and content expert at Sterling Marketing Group suggested using these features to promote other brands.

O “Build your brand by engaging with the community via repinning, commenting on and liking other pins,” she said, adding that tagging other users in your pins' descriptions is a good way to reach out, too. 

Page 135: Instagram and pinterest for business in hancock oct 2015

O Connect to your other networks. You can connect your Pinterest account to your Facebook, Twitter, Google+, Gmail and Yahoo accounts, and can choose to log in with Facebook and/or Twitter (instead of typing in your email and password) as well. Connecting to your Gmail and Yahoo accounts allows you to find and connect with your contacts who already have Pinterest accounts, and when you connect to your other social networks, they'll be displayed on your profile so pinners can easily find you elsewhere on the Web.

Page 136: Instagram and pinterest for business in hancock oct 2015

O Add a Pinterest board widget to your website. This is a great way to let visitors to your website know that you're active on Pinterest. Just choose the board you want to share, paste the URL into the widget maker, choose the size you want, and click the "Build It!" button. Then, embed the code on your website somewhere visitors will see it.
