Don’ t be afraid to jump on the bandwagon and repin a really popular or trending image
When looking to connect with as many people as possible, having popular images to attract people’ s attention is a good tactic to use
Search out images that have been repinned a lot of times and repin a number of these at regular intervals to your own boards
Look for images that are out of the ordinary, astonishing, unique or funny. These are the pins that tend to go viral
Everytime someone repins an image, the board it comes from is shown to the re-pinner, as well as being given the option of following the board or the Pinterest profile. This opens your business profile up to many more people, and the more repins you get, the more people who will visit your Pinterest profile or website
