But keep in mind that staying top-of-mind with consumers is essential on all platforms and Pinterest is no exception. For a company like Lowe’s or Home Depot, their products are primarily tools, home appliances, and services like carpet installation, appliance installation, and home painting.

Pinterest for Non-Traditional Brands
For brands that provide services or products that aren’t very pin-worthy, Pinterest may seem unnecessary…
But keep in mind that staying top-of-mind with consumers is essential on all
platforms and Pinterest is no exception.
For a brand like Lowe’s or Home Depot, it may seem hard to pin tools, home appliances, and services like painting and carpet installation.
But it’s important to think OUTSIDE of the BOX and get creative when pinning. The key is to tell the story of the products and services visually.
DIY projects and Before and After photos can make a big impact!
