Pinterest and Mother's Day Marketing?

Despite Mother’s Day being a few months away (May 14th), Pinterest is getting a head start by reminding marketers to plan their promotions ahead of time. According to Pinterest, 70% of US moms are active on the platform itself, spending an average of 124 minutes per month browsing the various Pins. This could come to your advantage when it comes to shopping for Mom.

First off, Pinterest says that activity related to Mother’s Day starts early and is already rising as we speak.

Pinterest says that, overall, more than 33 million Pinners have saved 252 million Mother’s Day related Pins – getting started early could help you get in on that jump in activity.

They also say that brands should consider how their campaign is able to help in creating these “unique gifting experiences”.

And as the actual day gets closer (as you could imagine) people tend to start looking for more last-minute gifts and purchases. They go on to say:

"At that point, your strategy should highlight simple, oughtful and beautiful gifts. Examples include home decor, wall art, at-home spa kits and apparel or accessories."
The overall idea here is simple – tap into trends if you want to get the right gift. And not only the overall trends, but the shifts which occur in search based on proximity to the event.

Pinterest’s last important note includes searching and targeting Pinners during the search process. For example, Pinterest advises that brands should target interests like “travel,” “photography,” “gardening,” “beauty,” “style” and “home décor.” They mention:

“You should also try these keywords: “mothers day,” “mothers day gifts,” “mothers day crafts,” “mothers day quotes,” “mothers day crafts for kids” and “happy mothers day.”

Another side note that's interesting to see is that Pinterest is reportedly on track to reach $500 million in revenue in 2017, which would be a big boost from the $300 million the company posted in 2016, proving themselves to be growing rapidly.

Pinterest also has more than 150 million monthly active users now – a lot less than many of its social rivals, such as Twitter or Instagram, however "Pinners" have much higher purchase intent.

This platform continues to be on the rise, and it's only getting started for Mother's Day.

Instagram's Newest Feature That You Can't Find Anywhere Else

Snapchat started the trend of story-telling, creating 24-hour snaps that you share to the world. Instagram now has this feature as well. Well, Instagram has changed the game again. This time, you can post multiple photos within a single feed post. As in, you swipe right and see multiple pictures all under one post. Sure, Twitter and Facebook have similar features where you can post multiple pictures at once, but not quite like this. Instagram, unlike Facebook, Twitter, and so on, is a photo-based social media platform. Before, only advertisers could do such a thing on Instagram, leaving the rest of us to pick only the best picture (or two at the most) to represent our big event, birthday or holiday to keep from spamming (and annoying) our follower’s feeds. To use the feature, you need to tap the ‘Select Multiple’ option first on the bottom of the photo or video you want to upload. From there, you can select the content you want to include; they’ll be numbered in the order th

The Aftermath Of A Historic Super Bowl

Mike Ehrmann/Getty Images It's not about how Super Bowls start. It's about how they finish. Super Bowl LI started off with what could arguably be the most boring few hours of football in Super Bowl history. The Atlanta Falcons seemed to have the game in the bag. Quarterback Matt Ryan seemed to be doing everything right, whereas his opponent Tom Brady could not prevent getting sacked or missing wide-open receivers down the field. The lifeless Patriots were down 28-3 going into halftime. Lady Gaga was the only thing that seemed to give the game life. And then the Patriots happened. Granted, the first touchdown of the night coming from Tom Brady only came at the end of the third quarter and even then, the game didn't feel competitive in the slightest bit. But once that first score came, it was like taking candy from a baby for the Patriots. They went on a tear, defensively stopping the Falcons and then offensively, with Brady leading the way.

Which Is Your Favorite?

Social media seems to be what everyone eats, sleeps, lives, and breathes nowadays. If you don't have at least a Facebook, it's almost as if you don't exist in the world. Twitter and Instagram have claimed their thrones, with Snapchat still up and coming; Not to mention Tumblr, LinkedIn, Youtube, Pinterest, and so on. With so many different social media platforms, it's almost impossible to choose which one is the "best." Personally, I love Twitter. I'd have to say it's my favorite social media outlet (with Instagram a close second). Why? Twitter gives me the ability to follow different accounts that cover a wide variety of topics that interest me. Hashtags allow me to follow topics without having some type of commitment to the topic, such as liking or following a page. It has an immediacy of breaking news and updates on developing stories almost faster than news outlets at times. Twitter is detailed. And who could forget the ease of follow
