Pinterest is a great way to share your interests and style with your friends, but it can also be used to successfully promote your B2B Company. According to a SteelHouse survey, 59% of Pinterest users have made a purchase based on an item they first saw while on Pinterest while only 33% of Facebook users have purchased a product that they were introduced to through their newsfeed or a Facebook ad. Pinterest users are 79% more likely to purchase items they see on Pinterest versus Facebook users.
Pinterest is also separated from sites like Facebook and Twitter because, for a business, half of the marketing process is already done. Pinterest is targeted based on what its users are interested in and looking for. This makes it unlikely that a user will end up on your page accidentally, which is great for you.

A company that can take advantage of the unlimited social network around them is a company that will be impossible to ignore.
