Editor's Notes
1.Best social media site to driving commerce, cuz…instead of on relationship and messages2. Even tho P does’t have that many users as FB or T, the number of females users on P are 5 times more male users. 3. According to Business Insider, Pinterest's reach isn't huge compared to the leading social platforms such as Twitter and Facebook, but its impact on global e-commerce is huge (Facebook accounts for 28%, yet it has about five times as many active monthly users around the world as Pinterest)4. Even higher than Facebook referral and Twitter referral
In September 2013, Pinterest announced Promoted Pins, which is its first advertising product. Pinterest is only exploring promoted pins with "select businesses.”
The name “promoted pins” is borrowed from Twitter’s “promoted tweets” and Facebook’s “promoted posts.” There’s no colored box or prominent "sponsored" tag which we’ve seen a lot on other social network advertising: it’s difficult for users to distinguish Promoted Pins from normal ones.
