How to use Pinterest and drive sales
Event Information
About this event
Pinterest is often overlooked by small business owners who don’t know how it can help them. Yet one of its greatest benefits for small businesses is that it can send a massive amount of new traffic to your website. It’s a great way to expand your reach and increase your brand authority. It’s also good for SEO (search engine optimisation).
While Pinterest is particularly effective for people with a product to sell, it can also work well for those with a service. It continues to grow steadily with 335 million visitors a month.
In this Masterclass we will cover:
• Ideas on how Pinterest could work for your business.
• The different parts of Pinterest.
• How to set up a great profile.
• What makes a good “pin” and what it should include.
• How to get your “pins” seen by people and drive traffic to your website.
• Q&A time!
NB: We will be recording the session and will send all participants a copy of the video after the event.
Trudy Ritsema teaches and helps people to use their tech. She runs IT Courses Dorchester, and specialises in teaching social media to people who are self-employed. She has a geeky love for social media and does all the research so her clients don’t have to!
Trudy excels at bundling up all the information up and teaching it in a jargon-free, straight forward way so that you can concentrate on growing your business.
We will record the masterclass so that you can refer back to it afterwards.
Organiser The Lighthouse Sidmouth
Organiser of How to use Pinterest and drive sales
The Lighthouse provides a shared workspace and community for entrepreneurs, homeworkers, and small business people in Sidmouth and surrounding towns and villages.
The first of its kind in the area, The Lighthouse aims to build connection and community, reducing the isolation felt by many small business owners, and to foster inclusivity and productivity.
Based at 44 Mill Street (just behind the old Nat West building) The Lighthouse is ideally situated in the heart of Sidmouth and provides a light filled, contemporary workspace where members can log in and get down to business.
Co-founded by two local entrepreneurs (Cathy Debenham and Louise Thompson) The Lighthouse aims to be much more than just a workspace: The Lighthouse has a full calendar year of events – social, learning and developmental - to allow business owners to meet, learn and collaborate.
There are three levels of monthly membership available – affordable for even the smallest of small business. A social membership (masterclasses, events and half a day a week in The Lighthouse) at £15/mth, a flexi-time membership for the workspace and community at £35/mth and a fulltime membership of just £75 for those wanting to make the space their main office base.
