Dear Wedding Professionals:
If you haven't heard of Pinterest yet, you will this year. Everyone is talking about it. It's the new social “pinning” site used to share beautiful content and images found across the Internet. Judging by the amount of people posting on Pinterest, it has a good chance of becoming one of the top social sites for 2012. Better yet - brides and wedding professionals have begun to embrace the site.
Pinterest is different from Facebook and Twitter because it is far more visual. It’s not about posting a sentence or paragraph in hopes of starting a conversation. Instead, members post images of things that interest them. That’s what gets the conversation started. Pinterest gives us an opportunity to share our interest in weddings and to find other people (i.e. brides!) who enjoy the same things. Want to see what BridalTweet is up to on Pinterest? Follow us by going to pinterest.com/bridaltweet.
Here's how your wedding business can benefit from Pinterest:
So, what should you do to take advantage of Pinterest?
Add the Pin this button to your website's pages. This will make it easier for brides to share your work on Pinterest.
Become active. Search and find products you love and make comments. Pin items and comment back when others make comments. Follow people that are active in areas that interest you and make comments on their pins.

I'm gradually catching on. This helps a lot.
We have gotton so much traffic from Pinterest since we joined!
Please follow and we will return :)
Pinterest is helping us communicate vision and ideas with our clients. Before, we would email images back and forth - things that brides like and don't like. With Pinterest, getting to know our clients' styles and preferences has become so much easier and instant. We've also added a Pinterest button to our web site to make it easier for our visitors to pin things that inspire them.
Christine, with all this pinning activity, it would be great to hear about some best practices about giving appropriate credit, when pinning.
I am just loving this! It's way more fun than either facebook or blogging!
I joined about a week ago and it has been huge for me.
I love Pinterest. I started about a month ago and am developing story boards that reflect the various wedding styles I'm designing invitations for. Brides love the inspiration and it doesn't take a lot of time to do. My site is: http://pinterest.com/audreyjeanner/
We are loving it too & seeing spikes in website traffic after we post an image. See our profile here: http://pinterest.com/yourweddingco/
