Today, Pinterest is a social network with high speed of development. By sharing pictures, connecting people by images, Pinterest is very appropriate to develop travel business; as well as advertise and support for SEO of travel agencies; websites.
Let’s register on Pinterest.com and make your own an account on Pinterest. And, with 9 tips below, you will see that Pinterest and social network in general are strong tools to develop online business.

1. Make a board for your own products:

You can pin the images directly from your website or upload the images. If the images are beautiful and unique sights, they will be received more re-pins from your friends. Once the images appear on your friend’s boards, there are more opportunities to the images will be spread out to your friend’s followers.
Moreover, when you insert your website address into the images, you will get more traffic to you website.
















In general, Pinterest likes a showroom that you can introduce your tours freely.

2. Taking the pictures of customers and “pin” them:

Pictures about the customers who are happy in the tours are necessary evidences to create belief and trust for your potential customers.
Also, you can allow other people can pin in some your “open board” to increase the interactions and the variety of your pictures.

3. Connecting to Influencers:

Actively re-pin, like and comment on Influencers’ boards. This is a chance for you to build the relationships and perhaps, some amazing opportunities will come.

4. Pin more on other interests:

Don’t focus only on your tours. Create more relative topics/interests that may be useful for your target market. It will attract more people to your Pinterest page. Of course, and more people will know about your tour, your travel agency, your website.
However, don’t pin too much on other interests. Keep in your mind that you pin other interests, but they must serve the target market.

5. Consider carefully before providing price information:

You can pin the images and the price information. But, I suggest that you shouldn’t provide price information because many people dislike a business on Pinterest.

In general, Pinterest and other social networks are appropriate to share images, information and ideas…rather than direct selling.

6. Take the advantages of description on Pinterest:

You should spend more time to provide more information in your Profile. You can add your website address and other social networks’ addresses.
In addition, the images, pictures that are pinned should be had enough description and maybe proper Keywords and Hashtags to support for SEO.

If you pin too much, other people will feel unpleasant, and easy to leave your page. Let pin pictures what you actually like.

15 key ingredients to get more pins on Pinterest (Vietnam Outsourcing)

HOW TO CREATE PIN THAT PEOPLE LOVE TO SHARE ON PINTEREST?

I. About some Internet and Marketing aspects:

1. Label images:

Label images and add your details (name, logo, website,…).
Instead of labeling your image as Image 1 or Image 2 (or any other random name), label your image with a relevant name, specific to your image. It’s worth taking the time to do this, at least for the most prominent images on your site.

2. Add a link:

Add a link to the pin description that leads to the webpage to drive more traffic.

3. Write long description:

Pins with description about 200 characters long get the most repins.

4. Use Hashtags and Keywords:

Use hashtags and keywords to make your pins more searchable. The top 5 most pinned word are “love”, “home”, “things”, “style” and “ideas”.
The simplified definition of hashtags is like keywords which can be used to organize messages on a social network. This then facilitates the searching and grouping of messages with given hashtags. Hashtags are preceded by the pound sign (#) and can be a word or a short phrase.
For example:
In order to make a hashtag at Vietnam and Outsourcing in any social network, let type # before “Vietnam” and “Outsourcing” (no space character between # and the word you want to hashtag).
And the result is:

Three common mistakes to avoid:

1. Hashtagging every word (i.e. #I #am #so #excited #today)
2. Hashtagging the same word more than once (i.e. It is my #birthday. Here is a photo of my #birthday cake, my #birthday presents, and my awesome #birthday party!)
3. Separating keywords. If your keyword is “Virtual Assistant” your hashtag should be #Virtual Assistant. If you write it as #Virtual #Assistant this will give you two different keywords: “Virtual” and “Assistant”.

5. Display Price:

Display your price of the product on the pin.

6. Use the right board:

Share your pins on the most relevant and engaging boards to receive maximum exposure.

7. Time it correctly:

Time your pins to go out between 2 PM and 4 PM in the afternoon and between 8 PM and 1 AM at night to get more repins.
 

II. About aesthetic aspects:

8. Multiple Dominant Colors:

Images with multiple dominant colors receive 3 times more than images with only one dominant color.

9. Using Vertical Images:

Images that are vertical in shape with an aspect ratio between 2:3 and 4:5 get 60% more repins than extremely tall images.

10. Use Medium Light Saturated Images:

Medium light images are repined 20 times more than very dark images.
50% saturated images received 10 times more than de-saturated images.

11. Reddish-Orange vs. Blue:

Reddish-orange images receive 2 times more repins than blue ones.

12. Alter background:

Images with less than 10% background receive 2-4 times more repins than images with more than 40% background.

13. Smooth Beats Rough:

Smooth textured images receive 17 times more repins than rough textured images.

14. Remove faces:

Images devoid of faces are repined 23% more than images with faces.

15. Be unique:

While keeping your audience in mind create unique images that standout.
