    Frequently Asked Questions

    Why is Pinterest's pin lifespan important?

    Unlike other social platforms where content disappears in hours, Pinterest pins continue generating impressions and clicks for 3-6 months. This means your initial ad spend continues working long after the campaign ends, making true ROAS much higher than monthly metrics suggest.

    What is a good save rate on Pinterest?

    A good save rate on Pinterest is 2-8% of clicks. Higher save rates indicate your content resonates with users and will generate more organic amplification. Optimize for saves by creating inspiring, useful, or aspirational content.

    How does Pinterest compare to other platforms?

    Pinterest typically has lower CPCs than Facebook/Instagram and much higher purchase intent. Users come to Pinterest to discover and plan purchases. 97% of searches are unbranded, giving smaller brands equal opportunity to be discovered.

    Should I use shopping ads or standard pins?

    Shopping ads (catalog pins) work best for e-commerce with many products. They automatically pull product info and pricing. Standard promoted pins work better for brand awareness, content marketing, and lead generation campaigns.
