Pinterest is like a gift from social media heaven for the style-conscious, visually driven consumers like yourselves! Using Pinterest is simple and something you can do while enjoying a glass of wine, or four. In other social media platforms, keeping up with comments and shares can be a job of its own. With Pinterest you upload a beautiful image, tag it with proper tags and add a good description. Then just sit back and let the other Pinterest addicts do their thing! The beauty industry has always had the opportunity to inspire but more so now than ever. With images of cuts and styles and coloring that you’ve done in the past, you can potentially gain a future client. Promote your services by creating trendy boards. Turn your Pinterest into your online portfolio. Add in simple how-to's that your followers can easily recreate at home. Stylists are visual people. What you do is extremely difficult and requires great judgement and excellent execution. Create an idea board with any inspiration you might have. Cuts. Styles. Colors. Anything. Pinterest is a very visual platform with so much room for creativity. Share photos and ideas with your fans to really enhance what you do. Pinterest is another way to hold a social media contest to not only get your clients involved with your marketing, but also showcase your talent! Have a "Pin it to Win it!" contest and encourage your clients to pin their recent hairstyle or color, created by you of course, for their chance to win a free product or service. Another way to get clients and perspective clients to your Pinterest, is to post a weekly Pinterest-exclusive coupon. Let clients know you’ll be pinning a weekly coupon within one of your boards –consider it an online scavenger hunt. All they need to do is simply repin, print and redeem.
