3 Reasons People Love Pinterest (and what marketers can learn from them)

Pinterest continues to surpass expectations in the world of social media. In July 2015, it ranked #4 on eBizMBA Rank\’s Top 15 Most Popular Social Networking Sites. It estimated that the site has nearly 250 million unique visitors monthly – a far cry from its 5,000 users total in 2010. What makes Pinterest such a monstrous success? Put plainly: Pinterest knows how to please the masses.

Here are 3 reasons why Pinterest continues to be a big hit:
Inspires Others – People love to be inspired, to see beautiful things, to feel like their dream life is just within reach. Pinterest offers users the opportunity to build their perfect life online. Rather than comparing themselves to friends on Facebook, they can craft their ideal lifestyle right on Pinterest in just a couple minutes. While this life may be virtual one, it still fills a creative void for many people.

Offers a Creative Solution to a Common Problem – Pinterest was smart and offered a creative solution to a common problem – bookmarking ideas online. The social site added upon the standard search engine bookmark by allowing users to add images and text while making saved items easier to find. In this vast online world, a reference tool to help you easily find a specific item is essential.

Easy to Use – No site can be successful if it is cumbersome and unintuitive. While some may find the concept of boards and pins hard to wrap their heads around, many more have found Pinterest easy to use. The site also has few crashes and glitches keeping user satisfaction high.

Grand Marketing Solutions has been very effective for us. They are the right size firm with the right mix of talents. They spruced up our logo, redesigned our web site, printed new literature, and worked smoothly with our people.

Before starting Business Image Magazine, I met with dozens of graphic designers/printers and worked with a couple before I met Karl Hofmeier of Grand Marketing Solutions. I heard Karl speak at a networking event and was impressed with his expertise. Since then, Grand Marketing Solutions has become my one stop shop for marketing advice, graphic design, printing, website design and maintenance. The service is second to none and I am happy to refer all my clients and prospects to him.

We are proud to be partners with GMS. As an entrepreneur and small business owner, I value a relationship with a partner who is cut from the same mold. Grand Marketing Solutions understands what it takes to keep our company competitive in a ever changing market. They ask the right questions and treat our business as it was their own. With Grand Marketing Solutions as our partner we can focus on our core business while they execute on our marketing strategy. We've been with a handful of marketing firms over the years. Some were large, some were small, but none of them have had the impact that Grand Marketing Solutions has.
