Here at Pinterest, we love that you love to pin. However, there’s a possibility that you could be missing out on some of our most useful features. Here are 5 ways you can get the most out of your pinning experience.

​

1. Use Lens Your Look to curate ideas based on items in your wardrobe. To try, just include a photo of your clothing item in your text search.

2. Plan events with other members of your board with the group activity feed.

3. Discover company and product-related pins by using Pincodes. Simply use the Pinterest camera to snap a picture of the code.

4. Find your ideal recipes with filtered searches. You can specify total prep time, diet, and ingredients.

5. Pick a complexion range when searching to get personalized beauty tips.

Good Afternoon,

​

We are pleased to announce that a new blog entry has been posted on our Newsletter. The blog is titled, “5 Incredibly Cool Features that You Should Be Using on Pinterest.”

​

As you all know, we have recently been losing users to Twitter and Instagram. Users complained that they were tired of consistently seeing the same content. We have attempted to combat this by tirelessly working on UI/UX components. This has proven to be effective, and the app is teeming with great new features to offer relevant, personalized content. However, the general public isn’t aware of these features. This is because we have not made large enough efforts to promote them. Our users are unaware of what they’re missing. Pinterest is being written off as an app with the sole purpose of browsing content. We are so much more than that.

​

This blog post showcases our most compelling features. Within less than 200 words, the post offers readers a sense of urgency to use Pinterest. We ask that you share this post on all social media platforms and encourage members of your networking groups to read and share as well. We are drafting another blog post and plan to release it next Friday. You will receive updates regarding this.

 

Please contact me with any questions or concerns.

​

Thank you for your time and efforts.
