Social Chatter: Social Media Marketing Talk Show - Episode 236 Pinterest Shop Tabs In Pinterest news, they announced Pinterest Shop Tabs. Pinterest shop tabs will allow users to browse in-stock inventory from "Shop" tabs in Pinterest search and on Pinterest boards. With the new Pinterest shopping tabs, users can quickly locate in-stock items from retailers. Some sample queries include "spring outfits," "kitchen remodel," etc. If there are shoppable items, you will see Pinterest shop tabs. If you want to shop, you can shop directly from Pinterest without having to go to a websites separate checkout process. Here is a look at how the shop tabs work. Why Pinterest Shop Tabs Matter For Your Business Pinterest shop tabs make it easier for customers to shop directly from your Pinterest pins. Customers can pin design ideas, but now they can shop your products (and see inventory). As a business, there are two things you can do to encourage more shopping from Pinterest. The first is to be sure you have added Pinterest images to your blog or website. We recommend using Social Warfare. You can customize the image that users can pin to Pinterest. Additionally, you should optimize your images for SEO and for Pinterest search. This way customers can discover your products on their own. A tool to help you can easily do this with is Tasty Pins.
