Pinterest for Business vs. Tagshop

I guess it's good for house-type consumer goods or food. Not very good for the type of products I sell or anything that might be commercial in nature or B2B. At this point, I like it for backlinks and that's about it. Because of their hyper-restrictive TOS, It really does not have any other value for me.

As a small business owner, I don't have a large budget for marketing and advertising, so I rely heavily on social media to promote my products. Taggshop has been a game-changer in this regard.

• It is very easy to create a "Pin" and insert it into a predetermined category.
• It is very easy to insert a destination URL in a "Pin".
• It is very easy to insert some quick, concise copy into a "Pin".

• Collecting user generated content from instagram and tiktok
• Generates transparency and social proof for our brands
• Instantly increases engagements & conversions wrt sales
• Extremely good support from the Taggshop team

• The Pinterest interface is an organizational horror show. It is very easy to get lost when moving from one module to another.
• They appear to have brutally bad internal communications between departments. After inserting their "tag" onto my site they looked at my prouduct line and decided it violated their TOS. OK, I get that. As I said earlier, a lot of social media companies have an issue with hemp-based products. I deleted the tag and now they keep reminding me that I need to install the tag so they can complete the process to make me a verified merchant. Hey Pinterest, figure it out1 Not that hard!
• Their online seminars are a joke. They are nothing more than cheerleading sessions for Pinterest true-believers. If you want to actually learn something about online marketing avoid their seminars.
• BTW, Pinterest is not good with criticism of any type. I tried constructive criticism and got whacked from their mailing list. I can;t imagine how they might react to the above comments.

• One area for improvement would be if the loading time could be improved.

I really haven't found any other product like Pinterest so I can't make a comparison. The sad thing about Pinterest is it has a lot of potential value for business people and companies and could/should be doing a lot better. Unfortunately, they perpetually get in their own way, over and over and over again.

I have used other platforms in the past, but I think Taggshop has all the features I needed. It works without any hassle and has competitive pricing

• No real tangible ROI either way. I minimize my time investment partly because of their TOS and partly because their interface is so disorganized.

• Positive Impact on ROI it multiplies ROI 2X
• Negative Impact - Need to solve lagging issues. By resolving this issue, it would be great choice for ecomm brands.
