6)\u00a0Don’t over self-promote.\u00a0<\/strong>Don’t repeatedly repin your work or other content. Pinning it once is sufficient unless there are multiple angles or additions to the project.<\/strong><\/p>\n

7)\u00a0Make your work visually pleasing.\u00a0<\/strong>Look at what works on Pinterest and what doesn’t. Get some inspiration from other pins that catch your eye.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

8)\u00a0Use Pinterest to show the overall personality of your agency.<\/strong>\u00a0This can also be a great way to clients see what your overall company is like before they call or make an inquiry.

9)\u00a0Promote.<\/strong>\u00a0Do not use auto post when it comes to your Twitter & Facebook page. This makes your activity impersonal and sometimes can be just plain annoying (especially if you are pinning 15 new things in a short period of time.)<\/strong><\/p>\n

10)\u00a0Pin consistently.<\/strong>\u00a0Don’t pin just to pin. Make sure these are items that you have a genuine interest in.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n
