“In theory, Pinterest is a marketer’s dream come true: 70 million users, mostly young and affluent women, essentially voting for their favorite brands, products and online content. The site, however, offers very limited user analytics. Launched a year ago, Pinterest’s Web Analytics tool shows a limited set of data, and only for FRPSDQLHV�ZLWK�D�YHULͤHG�:HEVLWH�”

Catherine Shu, TechCrunch Writer

Pinterest has grown dramatically in recent years to become the cornerstone of

many brands’ digital marketing strategies.

Planning, implementing and tracking these strategies can pose quite

the challenge.

However, this report is designed to remedy that with the evaluation of

Pinterest’s top tools, giving marketers an insightful overview of the industry

which stretches far beyond Pinterest’s basic web offering.

Pinterest is big business for marketers.

Nearly every consumer brand and many B2B companies have realized the vast opportunity that Pinterest presents to grow and achieve marketing success.

The average order placed by Pinterest shoppers is $169, far exceeding those from Facebook ($95) and Twitter ($70).

Yet, most businesses get lost in a maze of confusion when trying to optimize their Pinterest account. They often don’t have access to relevant Pinterest data and when they do start seeking a tool, many are faced with precious little resource in aiding WKHP�WR�ͤQG�WKH�ULJKW�WHFKQRORJ\�

Tools that previously existed suddenly seem to have disappeared. Others have reappeared under a different pseudonym while many simply don’t have the analytical capabilities to begin with. Clearly, the space is in a period of flux.

Pinterest’s phenomenal success extends far beyond weddings, quotes or a shirtless David Beckham

The rapid pace of change and the visual web

Why Did We Write This Report?

Recent years have brought changes to technology and to the networks we use to communicate. One such change is the emergence of the visual web; multimedia platforms upon which users share videos and images.

Brandwatch is engineered to be responsive to market changes, and to aid marketers in planning, executing and measuring their activity, whatever that may be.

Our technology gathers data from conversations happening all over the web, including Pinterest and other visual networks like YouTube, Imgur, Instagram and Vimeo, but also from news sites, forums, social media and blogs.

In researching the market for Pinterest tools, both from our own marketing team’s perspective and from a product roadmap standpoint, we discovered the Pinterest analytics space is largely uncharted.

Pinterest Web AnalyticsStrengths Weaknesses Features

• Accurate Data: As the stats come directly from Pinterest you know that they are accurate

• Historic Data Range: Many Pinterest analytics tools only start gathering data from the time you sign up. The native Pinterest tool collects information back to your very ͤUVW�SLQ

• Website Data: Insights from your company’s website, such as who has recently pinned from your website

• Smart Recommendations: Pinterest provides you with articles which outline how you can improve your various engagement scores

• Site Metric Bias: The tool is overly focused on your company’s website activity rather than your 3LQWHUHVW�SURͤOH

• Followers: There is no information on how many followers you have or any way to measure the increase of your community

• Basic: This tool is free but features are limited. A large business would need a much greater range of data to truly understand the impact of their Pinterest footprints
