When selecting an advertisement on Pinterest, remember vertical aspect ratio Pins get more engagement. Choose Pins that earned engagement organically.

Also, be sure you include a destination URL in your Pinterest advertisement. This is optional, but your potential customers want to see your eCommerce store or blog. So, you’ll need to include a link to direct them to your campaign’s corresponding landing page. A landing page that continues your advertisement messaging can return the highest conversions. These types of web pages keep your customer focused on your marketing message.

Edit your Pin Before Promoting
Now is the time to make final edits to the text description for your Pin. You’ll also want to include a few hashtags that you’ve chosen your keyword research. This helps get discovered in Pinterest organic searches. Like Instagram and Twitter, Pinterest Pinners use hashtags for navigation.
Choose a daily budget and limit the length of the campaign. I wouldn’t let a Pinterest advertisement run continuously when it is new. Start out with a five-day to ten-day campaign. Then check on the advertisement’s performance including KPIs. The creative, text, targeting all play a role in the success of your advertisement on Pinterest. This will help you narrow down your audience and save money with your Pinterest advertisement
Select your ideal target audience including interests, age range, and gender.
Note, you can also indicate if this advertisement on Pinterest is only for those over the age of 21 years.
Since you’re promoting the ideal Pinterest Pin based on information in previous videos and Pinterest tutorials, you won’t have to do more tweaking before starting the campaign.
