Overall Satisfaction with Tailwind
I sell sheet music on my education website and an overwhelming majority of my traffic comes from Pinterest. Like all things social media related, Pinterest has its method of preferring your pins to show to others and one way that it does this is by rewarding you the more active you are. This means that the more you pin, the more preference you get in other people's feeds. Tailwind helps you gain recognition on Pinterest by strategically pinning for you at set intervals throughout the day. I wanted to maximize my presence on Pinterest since this was the proven traffic source for my website so I tried out Tailwind to help promote my website.
Pros
- Tailwind takes the guesswork out of when to know the best time to pin (there are higher yield pinning times and they have figured this out for you).
- Tailwind automates pinning so you can receive preference from Pinterest as a more active user and have your pins shown to more people.
- Tailwind also does it's best to reach out and educate you about how to get the most out of their service.
Cons
- The honest truth is that I just did not see an increase in my sales which is the ultimate litmus test if a service is working. Maybe I just did not give it enough time? Maybe my market is just too small to receive the benefits from this service?
- Also, I truly did not see dramatic increases in my page views. Nothing elevated to numbers that would have made it worthwhile for me to extend my free trial into a paid membership. Again, that could be for reasons listed above.
1 - My organization uses Tailwind for advertising, promotion, educating, gaining a brand presence and as a funnel to direct patrons to our website.
Pinterest (which is what Tailwind specializes in) directs about 90% of my website traffic and we chose to explore Tailwind as a way to advertise our website and direct prospects to our website.

- Tailwind effortlessly increased my presence on Pinterest.
- Tailwind requires some learning from the user but overall is pretty easy to figure out.
- Tailwind did not increase my ROI.
- Tailwind slightly increased my Pinterest views and followers but not enough for me to extend beyond the free trial.
