Natanya Anderson, director of social media and digital marketing at Whole Foods Market, says Pinterest creates a lot of great opportunities for brands. For Whole Foods, it drives a ton of traffic to their website, creates almost 11 times as much as engagement with their followers than Twitter, and it’s a great platform for working with influencers.
In her presentation at SocialMedia.org’s Brands-Only Summit, Natanya takes us on a tour of Whole Food’s “Pinterest Parthenon” and its three tiers:
- Philosophy: Natanya calls Whole Foods’ approach to Pinterest “Lifestyle-Centric Curation.” It’s all about collecting the best and most customer-relevant ideas on the Internet and bringing them together onto one inspirational board.
- Strategy: Whole Foods aims to create images people will share, like a graphic on brining or a recipe card for potato salad. They also reach out to big Pinterest influencers to reach a bigger audience.
- Accountability: Natanya says measurement is essential to a successful Pinterest strategy. Whole Foods looks at KPIs for individual pins to see what works and to help them create future content.
