Using Pinterest For Your Business

Have you considered using Pinterest for your business?

Pinterest specifically asks that you not use Pinterest only for promoting your business and to follow etiquette, you probably shouldn’t post a majority of pins from your own things. But I believe it’s acceptable to post a few things from your shop–perhaps on a board devoted to your business. That way people aren’t stuck following your business pins if they are not interested in them.

I have an account on Pinterest that I use so I can find all my bookmarks and remember why I actually bookmarked them in the 1st place. I also “pin” things that I think are pretty or funny just because I feel like it. I doubt that I’ll ever do a majority of the things I pin, but I like looking for ideas now and then.

I created a board for my Etsy shop which you can see here. A great tip is to type the price in the description. If you do so, a banner appears across the photo advertising the price.

So, have you considered using Pinterest as a way to share your business?

This Week’s Weekly Woo Hoo~A Twist

This week, let’s shake up the weekly woo on Friday.

Instead of listing something great you sold–share a link to the most interesting, funny, weird, beautiful, crazy (you pick) item in your store.

I’m telling you today to give you time to think about which item you’d like to add.

1. Limit 1 link per person.

2. Must be family friendly.

3. Share a description of it–where you found it or what you like about it.

Postal Scales?

My postal scale died awhile ago.

I decided to save the money–my husband was between jobs!

Well, I’m TIRED of running to the post office to weigh packages and coming home to print labels and running to the post office again.

I never go out of my way, but it’s a step I just don’t need!

I am ready to get a new scale and wondering which scale do you have?

Do you love it or hate it?

Etsy Treasuries

I’ve been privileged to have quite a few of my Etsy items featured in Treasuries lately.

Here are few links:

Autumn Harvest~Featured my husband’s recycled steel pumpkins

Dream~Red vintage typewriter print

Love~beach print

Recycled blue jeans~My denim flower pin

There are more but they seem to feature the red typewriter print and my husband’s pumpkins a lot!

Do you make Treasuries? Do you look at Treasuries?

I consider them a little comment on the fact that I made something that someone likes. I also consider them to be a little advertisement!
