SEND MESSAGES ON PINTEREST NOW!

Pinterest

It may not have been your chosen Social Media Channel of choice, it’s just for the ladies I hear you say! Well to be fair this has been the case up until now. A fair 80% -20% split in favour of women. Women have been responsible for 92% of the pins created. It’s the women who retain their accounts and increase their engagement.

Pinterest really are stepping up to the mark by creating a new communication app, which took only 3 months for them to create and launch!
With over 1.15 billion users and until now only 35% keeping active accounts this could be about to change.
Pinterest are moving forward and may have found the solution to retain their members and balance the women – man ratio of users.
