Pinterest Boards: General vs. Specific?

[1234Shine]

Do you see any viewing difference between having just 'general' boards and more 'specific' boards, for instance, 'Christmas Cards' board vs. 'Funny Christmas Cards' board vs. 'Funny Text Based Kids Christmas Cards' board? If yes, how "Specific" are your boards?  Please use some of your products as examples and share how you break them down in various boards, thank you!

Hi 1234Shine, My sales have generally come from specific boards. Re cards I would advise to start a board with example : Funny Geeky Cards for All Occasions. You can then add Birthdays Christmas Family Friends whatever! Make sure you fill out the name of your board with appropriate tags and short description of the board itself .My success with pinterest in the past leading to sales has been focused on my clock designs. Therefore I started with a board from memory "Simplistic Minimalist Colourful Clocks " Then I added other boards which included "Colorful home decor products " Stunning Home Interior Ideas" ect ! which related to my product! When I designed a new "Clock " product then could add it to related boards! Pinterest is not only about your own self interest , it is necessary to include other boards people are interested in! Then fingers crossed they my click on your product! 😀  Jilly

@orientcourt , Thanks for the reply.  Do you pin directly from the product pages or create your own Pins from scratch?

I have in the past 1234Shine pinned directly from my product pages to pinterest! This achieved great results re sales! However because there is so much competition in the marketplace now, using pinterest to garner sales has also changed! Pinterest now encourages pinners to create an idea pin/use a cover photo for your products and more! A hell of a lot of work for a small amount of dollar return!🤔 Jillian
