Pinterest launches new tools for advertisers

With an aim to enable efficient trend prediction and accurate measurement of campaigns, Pinterest has launched new tools to help advertisers leverage the optimal potential of Pinterest.

Pinterest is expanding the Trends tool from the US, UK, and CA to 30 additional countries and 22 languages globally, offering industry-first insights into when top search terms peak. Advertisers can use this information to understand what is trending with their audiences and align creative, targeting, merchandising, content, and sales calendars to the trends Pinners are most engaged with. The globally available feature is now available on all surfaces, with an enhanced experience on desktops and tablets.

Using the Pinterest Trends tool can help advertisers win the Q4 holiday season and beyond with industry-first features including:

• Trends your audience loves – this widget on the homepage of Pinterest Trends allows advertisers to see what is trending with their engaged users and followers in the last 90 days.
• Trends by demographics – the only tool that helps advertisers filter by age, topic, time, and place
• Seasonal trends – new trend types such as Seasonal trends help advertisers better align content and marketing calendars to when Pinners are most engaged with different topics

While the Pinterest Trends tool’s new features are exciting on their own, where trends really shine is how advertisers are using them to drive performance for their businesses.
