Sure, Pinterest is a visual treasure trove of all things wedding, baking, and fashion-oriented. But don’t write the social network off if your business doesn’t fall into those industry categories. Even if your brand is lacking an inherently Pinterest-friendly visual product, you can still develop a content strategy to take advantage of Pinterest. Here’s how to do it.
