What is Pinterest?

Pinterest is a virtual Pinboard that lets you organize and share all the beautiful things you find on the web. People use Pinboards to organize their favorite recipes, plan their weddings and decorate their homes.

What do innkeepers have to do?
Nothing, really. The only thing you need to do is make sure you have great photos on your listing or add photos in your recipe section. In order for a user to "pin" your recipe posted on BBOnline, you must have a photo attached to the recipe. The better the photo, the more likely it will get pinned. It's that easy.

What is the "Pin It" button on BBOnline?
When a Pinterest user clicks on the Pin It Button on your listing, they will be taken to a page that shows all of your pictures. The user can now pin the image onto their personal pin board.

How Pinterest button benefits you
Recipe Pinboards are very popular. BBOnline offers innkeepers the opportunity to post an unlimited amount of recipes on their listing for free. Once a user pins your recipe, when someone clicks on the photo, they will be taken back to your listing page. The users can also repin the recipe on their own boards.

Similarly, many Pinterest users are also creating Vacation Pinboards and will pin pictures of the inn they want to stay at or have stayed at and want to recommend to others. With the Pin button, users can easily pin any of your slide show photos onto their board. Again, when someone clicks on the picture of your inn, it will take them directly to your listing page, which will result in more exposure to your inn!
