Bedroom boutique hosted their first Pinterest Party with guest speaker Retha van Staden, Social Media Facilitator from Solutionetics. Pinterest is a social media platform that allows the user to use and create electronic pin boards to organise and share various media - such as pictures, videos info - graphics etc. The Pinboards can be used to plan events, decorate homes and share information such as recipes and fashion - and now it help you to run your business. Retha identified 8 points to ensure success when using social media namely: Who the target audience is, Why you are doing it, What are your objectives, What is your message, are you specific, Which social media best suits your needs, Have you mapped out your daily goals and Is it measurable. “Always aspire to entertain, inspire & educate your potential audience” said Retha. Furthermore Retha proceeded to engage with the audience and discuss the benefits of Pinterest to a business and how they can use it to market their business through active engagement. “When you have engagement you are making those people want your products - remember like, engage & comment! ” said Retha.
