Keep it Pinteresting
If youâve seen my Pinterest profile you know how much I love to pin. Racking in over 6,500 pins between my 29 boards on Pinterest, I consider myself something of an expert.
One of the greatest (not really new, but) newly noticed features on Pinterest is the option to âsendâ a pin.
Sending pins is a fan-freakin-tastic way to keep engagement up on a social platform that otherwise can be so disengaged. Sending pins directly to your followers is a surefire way to make sure they actually see it + donât miss it in their feed. As an added bonus, sending pins via someoneâs email address is a great way to stay connected with a prospective client or raving fan who isnât on Pinterest yet.
Sending pins from your phone or computer is crazy easy. On the left you will see the screenshot from my phone: to send a pin to someone, simply press and hold on the pin until those three icons come up. The first icon is to re-pin, the second is to like, and the third is to send. On the right you will see the screenshot from the computer: to send a pin to someone you hover over the pin with your mouse and then just click âSendâ.
Once you click on that (on either device) you will see a secondary menu pop up with friends names. It will pull up people you interact with most but there is also a field to type in a name or email address. You also have an option to add your own comment by clicking on the speech bubble.
You donât want to leave the discovery of your pins to chance. Keep it pinteresting + send your pins.
