A starter guide to Pinterest for businesses
Pinterest works for all kinds of businesses, from small shops to global brands. It’s free to sign up for a business account and easy to start making Pins.
Set up for success
Make Pins to show the world what you’re all about. Use images or videos to display your ideas, products and more.
We’ll show your Pins to the people that we think are most likely to love them. People can comment, react or even add photos of Pins that they’ve tried.
Turn organic Pins into ads so that they’re seen by more people. Combining organic and paid content is the best way to succeed on Pinterest.2
