Can I Use Just One Pinterest Account for All My Zazzle Stores

[CherylJones]

Hi! I have multiple Zazzle stores, and am wondering for Zazzle product promotion if it's a good idea to use just one Pinterest account (for all my Zazzle stores), which of course, can have only just one of my Zazzle store's URLs (in the profile). --- If I do so will all my products links work as they should to hopefully convert to sales? I have recently opened a Pinterest business account and done the above. Its a long story about the issues I've had so far doing this, and Pinterest customer service has been virtually no help at all after 4 attempts. Thank you all so much for any help! Cheryl

Use one Pinterest account. Post your products to that one account. Each product will show the link to the product. The store does not really matter so much. I cannot imagine trying to keep up with TWO Pinterest accounts, lol. Keeping things simple saves the day.

Make sure your PInterest account is a Business account, not personal. You won't get a referral from a Personal acct.
To make my Pinterest acct interesting for followers, my Zazzle boards are mixed in among other interests. (besides no point to have multiple Pinterest accts) People who like my recipe boards, might take interest in the Zazzle boards. For my St Patrick's board, I included some of my Zazzle designs for St Patricks plus a few pins for St Patricks recipes & decoration ideas. For Throw Pillows, I threw in a few pins for general home decor ideas.  I think it's important to make you Pinterest interesting to broader audience then just Zazzle.

These tips sound good. But in practical effect, when I use Pinterest on my iPad, I have no luck finding the board the pin is on. Sometimes the pin does not show me who posted it---so PInterest is not even showing me the originating account. Hence, there is no one for me to follow.  In the cases where the pin does show me the poster, I click through, hoping to find the board the pin is on. The pin I am interested in, that is. But instead I find the Pinterest account. That pin might be appearing  on any of eighty or more boards. Pinterest does not tell me which board. So I can't FIND the board even if i want to follow the board.  I assume others will have just as much trouble finding my board and following it, as I do. Therefore, I have not been spending any time at all on making my boards interesting. I don't think people look at my boards. I think they only look at individual pins which float up in their feeds.

I'm old school desktop computer with a 32 inch monitor, so such I don't have those problems. What device people work on definitely makes a difference of what works well for them and that is a consideration.

It's not so much that it might be easier to see the boards on the web.  It's more that the app, which Pinterest forces me to use,  simply does not have the same functionality as the desktop site.  I wonder how it looks for people on the phone, because my understanding is that fully four-fifths of Pinterest visitors are viewing by phone. I should probably start using Pinterest on my phone so that I know what the viewer experience is like for most Pinterest visitors.

Thanks so much!  Such a relief to know I can use just one account for all my stores...I also sell cards on Greeting Card Universe so I will add those to my boards too. : )
