Pinterest, the shopping experience your e-shop needs
Pinterest is a great source of traffic for e-commerce due to the platform’s focus on visuals. Users can find pins on almost anything they want and most times these people are already in a buying mood. If you’re not tapping into Pinterest traffic potential as an e-shop owner, then you’re already missing a lot.
Visual recommendations, a must for your e-shop
Our brains can identify images seen for as little as 13 milliseconds, and according to recent studies, 65% of us are visual learners. This means that more than half of us recognize, absorb and retain information better if it’s conveyed through a picture or video rather than text.
Context, the missing ingredient of your social media
With social media engagement hovering below 0.1% and organic social visibility in a continuous decline, social media might not seem like the lucrative marketing channel it once was. While social media reach may be declining, your customers are still relying on these platforms to help them find information and connect with brands. So, we have to figure out how to reach them in a landscape that’s working against us. We have to make social work for us in a different way. Part of this starts with the content itself. How do we give our audience something that interests them, that stands out, that captures their attention, all while adhering to character limits? We add context! Here are a few ways you can do just that! More than a headline You just copy the post title and throw it into a social update. Easy enough right? The problem with this is it can be so boring! In most cases, it doesn’t sell the post and it certainly doesn’t encourage people to click. Instead of just sharing the headline, consider the following: Quotes: Whether it’s a quote shared within the piece or a sentence that captured your attention, use call outs in your update. Statistics: Statistics are a great way to make a point and/or support an idea. On top of that, they tend to draw people’s attention. Have a stat within your content that is intriguing? Use that in your social updates. Challenges and solutions: Is your content solving someone’s problem? Then lead with that. Tell your audience what the challenge is and how your content is helping...Signs your engagement strategy needs a refresh
