Pinterest as a planning channel

People use Pinterest to collect ideas and make decisions. They search with keywords, save pins to boards and come back to them later, so they are often looking for something to act on. An ad that fits what they are already collecting reads as an idea, not an interruption.

Multi uses Pinterest where the category has a long planning stage, such as home, food, fashion, beauty, travel, weddings and events. We plan it next to your search and social campaigns, so it picks up demand earlier in the decision.

A more positive place to advertise

Pinterest is one of the few social channels where people go to plan something they want to do, make or buy. The feed is built around ideas, inspiration and things to look forward to, rather than arguments, outrage or the news cycle.

That matters for brands. Your ad sits next to a recipe, a room idea or a holiday plan, so it is seen in a good frame of mind. We like Pinterest as a social channel for that reason, and we recommend it to brands that care about where their message appears.

Each format has a different job in the plan. Pick one to see how it looks.

Who Pinterest suits and what it costs

Pinterest suits advertisers with visual products or services. You need a catalogue or a clear offer, and a buying cycle that runs for weeks rather than minutes. It is a weaker fit for urgent, low-consideration purchases.

Cost depends on format, targeting and objective, and we set a budget and target cost per result in the plan. A management fee applies on top of media cost. A minimum of $10,000 per month in media applies when Pinterest is bought on its own. There is no separate minimum when it runs alongside other platforms.
