How To Create Eye Catching Pinterest Pins

Why Use Pinterest?

A huge part of having a solid marketing system is having a way to make sure you are getting in front of your ideal audience and having a consistent way to bring them to your website. That is step 1. You have to make sure they become aware of you in order to want to work with you. That is where Pinterest excels far beyond any other platform.

Pinterest is a visual search engine that allows you to create content that will show up based on what people are searching for. You are literally shown to people actively looking for what you are offering. If you still think putting all your time into creating reels for the "likes" over getting in front of potential customers then we are not on the same page. We care about results and if you are in business you should too.

I don't want to go too deep into the power of Pinterest as I cover that in other blog posts you can check out.

Steps to creating an eye-catching pin

Images

Images are one of the most important aspects of a successful Pinterest pin. Here are some tips on how to create eye catching Pinterest pins:

1. Use high-quality, beautiful images. This is the most important tip! If your images are not eye-catching and beautiful, people will not want to repin them or click on them. This platform is visual so make sure your images count! This is another reason why Pinterest works so well with the wedding industry. The wedding industry is very visual. The goal is to help your ideal customer feel the emotions of the photo. Whether it is transporting them to your venue or helping them envision specific decor to use.

2. Make sure your images are relevant to the topic of your pin. People will be more likely to repin an image if it is relevant to what they are interested in. This will also help Pinterest understand what searches to place your content in. If someone searches for a barn venue and you use an image of a barn venue it will come up in that search. Try to make sure the photo is clearly focused on what the search topic is.

A Few Examples of good images:

Fonts

It should not be jarring or look out of place. Here are a few suggestions for fonts to use in your pins: The top two fonts, Open Sans and Merriweather, are both used on Pinterest itself.
