Pinterest: nine best practice tips for brands

Pinterest is essentially a site where users endorse and recommend images or products they have found, and also where they go to look for inspiration. For this reason, it’s well suited to fashion, beauty, interior design and weddings, and some 90% of its 12m strong user base is female.
