Pinterest used as a marketing tool

Pinterest has quickly become one of the most popular and important social media sites. Although the visual appeal is part of what makes Pinterest so successful, the fact that you can so easily share your pins to other social media sites, such as Facebook and Twitter, make it one of the most useful marketing tools out there.
