Trend Tracking With Pinterest
Wednesday, January 4, 2012
As a Lifestylist®, I spend a lot of time researching trends and learning what consumers want - then sharing that information with my clients. There are lots of places I do my research and new sites are popping up every day. I want to share with you one of my new favorites.
Have you discovered Pinterest yet? The site describes itself as "an online pinboard where you can organize and share things you love" but it is truly so much more than that. Words don't do justice to this site - it's definitely a visual experience.
Pinterest lets you do your own digital wish books where you can browse through thousands of images, recipes and inspirations that others have shared and "pin" them onto your own boards. You can also follow people who have a style that you like and share your favorite finds using Facebook or Twitter.
This is a great tool to see what consumers are liking and sharing. I have a huge appreciation for the laws governing intellectual property and don't publish other people's photos or articles on my sites without permission. Pinterest gives you the opportunity to share other people's images without violating copyright rules, and it's also a great way to share what you like and don't like with others.
Our boards can be found at: pinterest.com/lifestylist take a look and let us know what you think. We'd love to see what your boards look like as well. Email us at: answers@lifestylist.com with your Pinterest name and we'll take a look.
