It sure can, if you know which product \u00a0photos and images at your website are being pinned the most.<\/p>\n<p>PinAlerts, a new and free Pinterest tool that&#8217;s sort of like Google Alerts, will email you every time your website receives a new pin on Pinterest. You can decide how frequently you want to be alerted: daily, weekly or as it happens. The emails include a link to the latest pins with a description.<\/p>\n<p>You can read <a href=\"http:\/\/www.prweb.com\/releases\/Pinterest\/tool\/prweb9484641.htm\" target=\"_blank\">how PinAlerts works<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>PinAlerts.com was developed by Pinterest experts<strong> Janet Thaeler, Paul Wilson<\/strong> and <strong>John Benson<\/strong> of PinnableBusiness.com. Pinnnable Business develops Pinterest marketing tools and solutions. PinAlerts is the company\u2019s first release and is currently in beta.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>5 Ways to Use This in Your Marketing\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Janet helped me compile a list of ways you can use this cool tool in your marketing campaigns:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>You can tell instantly which product photos are the most popular. If photos of some of your most popular products aren&#8217;t being pinned, it might be time to reshoot those photos.\u00a0<br \/>\u00a0<\/li>\n<li>You can do competitive research to see what others in your industry are pinning so you can see the types of content that does well in your niche.<br \/>\u00a0<\/li>\n<li>You can find potential joint venture partners. &#8220;Yesterday, I sent an alert to OrangeSoda and they saw that the person who pinned their new product works for a major newspaper and could be a potential partner,&#8221; Janet said.<br \/>\u00a0<\/li>\n<li>You can see how the market views your product by reading the descriptions below the photos that people are pinning. Often, the descriptions are very flattering.<br \/>\u00a0<\/li>\n<li>&#8220;I also want to know what articles I write get pinned,&#8221; Janet said. \u00a0So she creates images to accompany them, using a variety of free web tools. See &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.publicityhound.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">How to Easily Create Free or Inexpensive Infographics<\/a>,&#8221; a webinar I&#8217;m presenting next week that feature some super-cool and drop-dead-simple tools for creating everything from pie charts and maps to those colorful quotes that you see all the time on Pinterest. \u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>A heads-up from Janet: &#8220;People pin your head shot from your website or blog. So make sure it\u2019s pinnable and good-quality.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>What other uses can you think of for PinAlerts?
