How I Use Pinterest Save Buttons

Adding Pinterest Save buttons to your website encourages visitors to visit your website and share your content on Pinterest. Once enabled, when visitors hover over the images they will see a Save button for Pinterest. This is a quick and effortless way to get information about your business or products to the public.

Adding Pinterest Save buttons allow visitors to save your information on Pinterest, allowing more people to discover your content. You can see how easy it is to add and customize a Pinterest Save button. This button acts as a bookmark to save information and pin to the visitors Pinterest boards. Once on Pinterest other people can pin to their own boards. This is a quick an inexpensive way to market your business and products. I started using the Save button and am thrilled to get my business out in the world.
