Best-selling author and media training expert Susan Harrow understands this challenge and believes that out of the endless list of social media channels to explore; Pinterest should be at the top. This image-based network is uniquely positioned to help small businesses reach users in the earliest stages of the purchase process. In Harrow's latest article on PR Newswire's Small Business PR Toolkit, she discusses five ways that Pinterest can build your brand such as:
- Product. Use carefully-styled and visually-stimulating images of your products. This channel affords you the opportunity to present your products in a way that doesn't apply pressure to the consumer.
- Service. Ensure that your collection of boards support content that offers solutions for your audience.
- Experience. Identify the mission of your board and use images, tips and articles to support the purpose. Your audience should be guided through an experience based on this content.
- Book. Create boards to promote your latest book. Include tips, quotes and videos to convey your message.
- Personal Touch. Be sure to include personal tidbits that offer your audience a face behind the brand.
