Pinterest is a social media tool that many small crafty businesses are utilising to make themselves more visible to their customers. You may feel that pinning pretty pictures to virtual 'boards' is a rather ineffective way to spend your time but it is a great way for your customers to get a feel for what you and your business are all about.

The joys of Pinterest

Pinterest is a social photo sharing website or inspiration board that you can share with others.  The mission statement of Pinterest is to connect everyone in the world through shared tastes and the “things” they find interesting. It has hundreds of thousands of images from all over the internet on topics such as DIY & Craft, Design, Art, Travel & Places and Kids, just to name a few.

When you join pinterest you have a number of boards which you can name or theme and then"pin" images to these boards. Here are some of our favourite boards.
