South African Pinterest Campaigns 👐 Web AddiCT 🇿🇦

According to Alexa the Pinterest website is already ranked in the Top 25 in South Africa. I have seen no mention by any agency that their clients are actively engaging with the Pinterest community as yet. I am not just talking about simply creating an account and pinning a few things to a few boards, anyone can do that. I am talking about utilizing Pinterest for crowdsourcing of some type to achieve a business objective. If you know of any Pinterst campaigns originating from South Africa please let us know by commenting below or getting in touch via the various social media channels.

This is a great start however Pinterest is such a tiny niche. From what I see locally it’s only a tiny mostly white community, half of which will be bored with Pinterest in 3 months time when something shinier comes along. Great start, I’m not sure it’ll pay off, but, good start.

I don’t think a tiny community alone get’s the site to the top 25 in South Africa. I’m measuring conversions on this campaign and so far so good.

All great online platforms start out with a small niche of early adopters. Whether this will become the next “big thing” in SA is still very hard to tell, but I think marketers can take advantage of the unique visual attributes of this platform. Take a look at the massive SA pinterest growth here : https://www.google.com/adplanner/#siteSearch?uid=domain%253A%2520pinterest.com&geo=ZA&lp=false

Other sites are trying to duplicate what pinterest does and focus on Africa as its own niche – i think they have a better chance of getting more traction and a wider reach in Africa. I’m impressed with http://www.clipam.com .
