Pinterest streamlines Promoted Pin process with new Promote button

Clocking in at under 9 seconds, a new feature makes it easier than ever for brands to promote Pins on Pinterest.

Pinterest’s new “Promote” button might as well have been labeled an “easy” button for advertisers. In a mere 9 seconds advertisers can go from viewing a pint to promoting it across Pinterest.

The new Promote button will quickly pull up the information from a pin and give brands everything they’ll need to advertise in a simple modal form. Once an advertiser clicks on a brand, they’ll then be able to input:

Campaign name
Destination URL
Daily budget
Currency
Campaign duration
Keyword targeting

Marketers will also see the maximum that they’ll be paying per click before they push live. Once the Promoted Pin is active, changes can be made in the Pinterest Ads Manager.

This echoes Facebook’s boosted posts due to the simplicity and quickness to implement. According to Pinterest, the new Promote button can help advertisers launch a campaign in under 9 seconds.

For more information, see the official blog post or the new Pinterest guide on creating great pins.
