  • What is it? Pinterest is a tool for collecting and organizing things you love. People use it to make wish lists, plan trips, organize events, start collections, interior decorating, plan projects #pinning4good @pinning4good
  • Top 3 Reasons Why Your Nonprofit Needsto be Interested in Pinterest1) Pinterest is growing leaps and bounds. Pinterest has almost caught up with Twitter in terms of adult U.S. Internet users (15% compared to Twitters 16%). Pinterest has >25 million monthly unique visitors. Nothing to sneeze at when you want more eyeballs on your cause and more donors to add to your database! All statistics taken from the Pew Internet & American Life Project (PewInternet.org) #pinning4good @pinning4good
  • Top 3 Reasons Why Your Nonprofit Needsto be Interested in Pinterest2) Pinterest is where women are, and women are givers to charity. As a general trend, women make up more of the population on most social net working sites but they make up 82% of active users on Pinterest. And, according to numerous studies, women at virtually every income level are more likely to give to charity (in some cases, nearly twice as much). And, when women give, they are more likely to give more and to be more loyal donors (think, donor retention). #pinning4good @pinning4good
  • Top 3 Reasons Why Your Nonprofit Needsto be Interested in Pinterest3) Pinterest has a totally different culture than the other social networking sites. Pinterest is aspirational, not of-the-moment. It is also transactional, not relational like Facebook, Twitter. What we pin reflects what we covet, what moves us, what we desire, who we want to be. Pinterest works more like a Vision Board, rather than an off-the-cuff, in-the-moment statement of what we are eating or where we are hanging out. #pinning4good @pinning4good
  • Top 3 Reasons Why Your Nonprofit Needsto be Interested in PinterestBONUS: Of all the social networks out there, Pinterest posts (called pins) last much longer! Pinterest pins have a shelf life of over one week! A tweet is 5-25 minutes; 80 minutes for a Facebook post. People pin photos on Pinterest to share with friends, to collect and to save for later. You cant save Facebook posts or tweets. In this way, Pinterest is unlike every other social network. (Great for nonprofits and businesses!) #pinning4good @pinning4good
  • Getting Started Pinterest Business Pages vs. Personal Profiles New Pinterest TOS asks you to have a Business Page, if you are using it for work or promoting any type of commercial activity (including online fundraising). You can convert your existing Personal Profile to a Business Page. Must convert entire Profile; cant do individual boards unfortunately. You can create a new one at business.pinterest.com #pinning4good @pinning4good
  • Getting Started 3 main benefits of Business Pages Account verification that check box in the bio! Access to special Pin It button and other widgets First access to new upcoming features like insights! #pinning4good @pinning4good
  • Getting Started Add Pin It bookmarklet to your browser (Google Chrome, Mozilla) for easy pinning. Add Pin It buttons to each page of your website and to each blog post (they should all have images, right?) http://about.pinterest.com/goodies/ Add a Pin It button to every single product if you have an online store or catalog (its amazing how few nonprofits do this). #pinning4good @pinning4good
  • Get Found On Pinterest Strategically fill out the About Us section. Use keywords, think of how people would search for you and your cause. Verify your website. Link to Facebook, Twitter Go to Settings, Social Networks. NOTE: You cannot connect your Pinterest account to a Facebook Business Page. YET. #pinning4good @pinning4good
  • Get Followers On Pinterest Pin interesting, visually compelling stuff! Follow others. Repin, Comment, Like engage. Share select pins on Twitter and Facebook. Remember that you can only share pins on a Personal Facebook profile. Go to: www.woobox.com/pinterest to set up a Pinterest tab and put it on your Facebook Page! Let your fans/followers know you are there they already love you and what you do. #pinning4good @pinning4good
  • What Should I Pin? 80% of people on Pinterest are just re-pinning! To get results for your nonprofit, you must focus on original content that links back to your website. To get ROI from Pinterest, you must pin images that: Link back to your website or blog Link to your email opt-in page Link to your product page Link to your YouTube channel (videos are effective pins!) #pinning4good @pinning4good

  • What Should I Pin? ALL THAT BEING SAID Dont just pin your own stuff! Its an interactive community. Share and repin. Good combination of original content and repinning or pinning content from others websites and blogs. There is no secret, perfect formula it depends on your capacity, your knowledge, your interest and your time. #pinning4good @pinning4good
