What are the types of Pinterest Ads?<\/b><\/h3>\n

\"socinator_types<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Before you start an ad campaign, you need to know about the format and types of ads you need to use for your advertising campaigns. <\/span><\/p>\n

1.\u00a0<\/span>Promoted pins:<\/b><\/h3>\n

Just like other regular pins, promoted pins also appear in the news feed of the Pinterest page. The only exception is that promoted pins are promoted and delivered to reach targeted audiences. Otherwise, as like regular pins, you can pin promoted pins to boards, share them with others, and comment on them.<\/span><\/p>\n

The most important thing about a promoted pin is when a pinner shares a promoted pin, the label disappears and is exposed as free like regular pins. As soon as the user clicks on your ad, it redirects them to your landing.<\/span><\/p>\n

2.\u00a0<\/span>One-tap pins:<\/b><\/h3>\n

After 2019, Pinterest was changed to a \u201cone-tap\u201d system which means that on one click on your ad, the user will be directly taken to the landing page.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0Before, there were \u201ctwo-tap\u201d pins which meant one-tap to zoom in and then the other tap for taking the user to the landing page. Now, this two-tap system does not exist.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0As all the ads are converted to one-tap technically, there is no need to use that term. So one-tap is also out of the Pinterest ad category.<\/span><\/p>\n

3.\u00a0<\/span>Promoted carousels:<\/b><\/h3>\n

Promoted carousels can have 2 to 4 images for the pinners to swipe. These multiple image ads appear like other pins and also behave in the same manner. The only exception is the three dots for the swipe option that does not appear for regular pins.<\/span><\/p>\n

Generally, marketers promote multiple images in a carousel to showcase different features with different selling points and different images. In this case, you can use promoted carousels that have a feature like you can add different titles to individual images with different descriptions and landing pages. This can speak to different pinners with different choices.<\/span><\/p>\n

4.\u00a0<\/span>Promoted video pins:<\/b><\/h3>\n

Like promoted pins, promoted video pins also appear in the home feed. The only difference is that promoted pins have static images whereas promoted video pins have videos.<\/span><\/p>\n

When the video plays up to 50%, all the Pinterest videos play in auto-paly mode. As many viewers view videos with sound off, the video should be of good quality independent of audio.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0Videos are good for ad campaigns as people love to see videos more than static images. Videos are also good to represent a product story. People take desired actions when they get inspired by video ads than non-video ads. <\/span><\/p>\n

5.\u00a0<\/span>Promoted app pins:<\/b><\/h3>\n

Promoted app pins contain apps that pinners can download on their mobile phones directly from Pinterest. As most of the engagement comes from mobile phone users, mobile ads prove best for Pinterest audiences.<\/span><\/p>\n

Promoted app pins are the same as promoted pins and promoted video pins and also act similarly. The only difference is that they are linked to the google play store. You can install these app pins from the google app play store. When downloads become easy, it can turn into huge sales.<\/span><\/p>\n

6.\u00a0<\/span>Buyable pins:<\/b><\/h3>\n

Through buyable pins, the users can directly shop and buy from your pins. The buyable pins work both on mobile as well as the web. The difference is that the items present in the image are linked with clickable dots that are linked to your product information.<\/span><\/p>\n

This format is useful for the images having multiple products that work together. To create buyable pins, you can also use tools available in the market out there. These pins drive more sales with which retail orders increase by 75%.<\/span><\/p>\n

7.\u00a0<\/span>Story pins:<\/b><\/h3>\n

A new type of pins that are recently used for business accounts can contain 20 pages of images, links, or text. Story pins also appear in the home feed of Pinterest along with a cover photo and a title.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When the users tap on this pin, they can see all the pages in the story pin. Like other pins, story pins can also be saved to Pinterest boards.<\/span><\/p>\n

What are the steps to advertise on Pinterest?<\/b><\/h3>\n

\"socinator_steps<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Step-1. Personal Pinterest accounts cannot be used to start up a brand account. For that, you need to open a business account.<\/span><\/p>\n

Step-2. Before you begin with a Pinterest ad campaign, you need to install the Pinterest tag. With this, you can check out the desired actions taken after viewing your ads.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
