How to use Pinterest

 This week in class we learned how to use Pinterest and the key functions to running a successful Pinterest account.

Pinterest has never really caught my eye until I learned more about the app. Interesting enough, the app makes it very easy for companies to market their brand and image. In the chapter it outlines in today's world brands can capitalize on their popularity just by using Pinterest and here's why. When looking for what you want to see on Pinterest, you come across thousands of other products and ideas which grab your attention, which allows for companies to see what people like and don't like. 

Another thing I learned from this chapter is Pinterest allows you to shop while using the app. According to the chapter "shopping on Pinterest is about discovery and action." This to me feels correct, my mom loves Pinterest, I see her on the app all the time, and she will discover something cool such as a product or idea and she will run with it! I've never seen someone buy something so quickly in my life just because they saw something they liked and decided they needed to have it! I believe Pinterest will see growth because of the functionality of the app and the approach to marketing other companies. This app allows people to see what they want to see!
