It’s no surprise that video content is here to stay. In fact, it’s the most shareable content on social media and is a great way to educate, inform, and entertain your audience. In this post, we'll walk you through tips and tricks on how to build your video strategy on Pinterest with PLANOLY’s Pin Planner.
Pinterest goes beyond the traditional role of a social platform. It’s a dynamic search tool used to inspire users while simultaneously driving awareness, traffic & conversions for your brand. Use it to help increase and steer traffic to your website, blog, or any URL. Plus, your content on Pinterest has a longer lifespan - helping you reach audiences way long after it has been published.
Video content on all social platforms, including Pinterest, is thriving. In fact, “social video generates 1,200% more shares than text and image content combined” and “55% of people pay close attention when consuming video – more than all other types of content.” Even Pinterest has shared that they are focusing and investing in video content. So whether you’re looking to show off your brand’s personality, educate on products or services, or provide insight to your audience, video content is your best bet!
Everyone loves new and fresh content, and this includes video content. Plus, Pinterest encourages this! It’s important to think outside of the box when creating your video content while also incorporating Pinterest best practices.
Let’s keep it simple. Here are a few best practices when it comes to publishing video content on Pinterest.

Her Pin title and description are to the point and easy to digest. I don’t know about you, but I sure do feel inspired after watching it!
