How can be Pinterest  useful for a business?

Companies can use Pinterest  to increase brand awareness. Through photos or boards related to interesting topics, they can catch the attention of the Pinterest users that will start following  them.
A combination of great pictures with an interesting content can inspire and appeal the interest of the users of Pinterest.  This content can additionally link to the home webpage of the company, to increase the flow of visitors.

This information is available through Pinterest Pin count tool and Pinterest free web analytical tool.
