Using Pinterest for Business?

If you're thinking not another social media site, then think again. This one is free and may yet rival Youtube. Why? Because its visual and extremely easy for folks to share. 


Here is an interesting example of how one company is using Pinterest for business.










What do you think? Do you see a way Pinterest can be used to extend your brand? I'd love to hear how?

Are you on PINTEREST?

I recently discovered Pinterest. I love it. I now understand why its so much fun and addictive. I've seen folks who have as many as 23 boards. 


To explain Pinterest let me quote from their about section. 

Pinterest is a Virtual Pinboard.

Pinterest lets you organize and share all the beautiful things you find on the web. People use pinboards to plan their weddings, decorate their homes, and organize their favorite recipes.
Best of all, you can browse pinboards created by other people. Browsing pinboards is a fun way to discover new things and get inspiration from people who share your interests. To get started, request an invite

Creation of Valentines Day Celebration

Did you know Valentines Day goes back to 496 AD? The celebration is named after Saint Valentine and was later shortened to Valentine's Day. Removed from the Roman calendar in 1969, the day was a time for lovers to express there affection for each other. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valentine's_Day


In modern times the day is used to commemorate love for each other not just lovers. The traditional of giving flowers, sweets and cards has given way to the heart shaped symbol, the winged baby Cupid and mass produced cards instead of hand written cards.


How will you celebrate Valentine's Day?
