Final Word:
It’s getting harder and harder for brands to ignore the benefits of social media for e-commerce traffic, especially the phenomenon that is Pinterest. The growth of traffic coming from social platforms is massive with last year bearing witness to that – social referrals having increased about 200% between Q1 2014 and Q1 2015 – more than any other online channel.
Lastly, if someone is sharing e-commerce content socially, then the likelihood is they’re doing it on Pinterest! Pinterest accounted for 40% of the social traffic to e-commerce sites, with Facebook trailing in at 37%, indicating that it is one of the first social networks where people are in a buying mood.
This is where the larger networks like Facebook and Twitter have failed as they have been labeled too intrusive. Not for Pinterest, as consumers turn to it for inspiration on what to buy, to keep track of or collect things they like, and to stay attuned to trends. Pinterest is the E-commerce king.
