Should Your Business Be on Pinterest? Find Out [INFOGRAPHIC]

By now you’ve probably heard plenty about Pinterest — the new social media platform that acts like a virtual pinboard. Pinterest lets users pull photos and other content from the web to “pin” on their own “board,” organizing their favorite online content and making it all easily shareable.

America’s newest social media darling can also be an attractive proposition for small businesses who want to get the word out about their products. How do you know if Pinterest is right for your business? Take the test below to find out!

Hi Jim, Fair point. We're still learning about Pinterest ourselves. Jay B. (Intuit)

Interesting the flowchart doesnt include "Do you mind not reading terms and conditions" and "Do you mind getting sued". Suggest they have a look at the Pinterest terms and conditions.

Hi Robert, What aspect of the Pinterest terms and conditions are you referring to? Jay B. (Intuit)

  15. [...] Once you have the hang of the basics then you can begin to turn your attention to using Pinterest for business. Many companies have a Pinterest account now, especially if your business is directed towards women who are the majority of Pinterest users.  If your business sells any type of product where your customer is primarily women then you definitely need to get your products on Pinterest. If your business is related to design or any kind of visual industry, get on Pinterest. Businesses that are more service related can still use Pinterest but probably not as much, depending on what the business is.
