Apple – Multinational electronics company
Starbucks – International coffee company
and Nike – International sportswear and equipment supplier
Why are these giant companies so interested in Pinterest? It is a great avenue to instantly advertise products or promotions. They also use the site to improve a customer’s overall experience. Starbucks, for example, uses its Pinterest to suggest new drink ideas, good breakfast and drink pairings, and distribute promotions for their rewards program. Now that’s marketing!
