How to Create a Pinterest Place Board for An Event

01.22.2014 by Maggie McGary // Leave a Comment

If you know me, you know I’m obsessed with Pinterest. Also with social media and associations. So when they announced Place Pins at the end of November, of course the first thing I thought was “this could be cool for an association’s annual conference.” Then the holidays came and went, and I didn’t have time […]

Pins of the Week: Google Analytics Help, Olivia Pope Style…and a Cocktail

10.24.2013 by Maggie McGary // Leave a Comment

I don’t know if you’ve missed pins of the week, but I have. Before I get to my favorite pins, though, some news you’ll want to pay attention to if you run contests on Pinterest. Today Pinterest posted a clarification to its “acceptable use guidelines” to spell out what’s ok and not ok when it […]

Could Pinterest’s Rich Pins Help Your Organization Sell Products?

05.23.2013 by Maggie McGary // Leave a Comment

If your organization has members who use Pinterest (i.e. females) and sells products via an online store, you might want to look into Pinterest’s new feature, Rich Pins. Rich Pins allow businesses to include real time pricing, availability, and information about where to buy the item pictured. There are three types of rich pins right now: […]

Pins of the Week: New Twitter Chat Tool, Cheat Sheets…and a Cocktail

05.09.2013 by Maggie McGary // Leave a Comment

It’s been a busy few months of un/self-employment, which is an oxymoron–aren’t unemployed people supposed to have oodles of free time to do whatever they want? I have managed to squeeze in a few trips and a few weekday movie matinees (my favorite guilty pleasure in life) but, believe it or not, I’ve been too […]

Pins of the Week: Content Marketing E-Book, Candy Crush Saga Hack, and Ewok Hat for Your Cat

02.21.2013 by Maggie McGary // Leave a Comment

If you still question the value of Pinterest, all I have to say is that if, after seeing these five pins, you still don’t see why Pinterest is so awesome for finding basically everything on the planet, you are probably immune to its charms and needn’t give it anymore thought. After all, where else can […]

Pins of the Week

02.07.2013 by Maggie McGary // Leave a Comment

I’ve alluded to it before and I’ll come out and say it again now: I’m obsessed with Pinterest. Especially since “doing” Pinterest is no longer part of my job (although now that it’s not, I admit I totally miss it) and now I use it purely for fun, I spend a decent amount of time […]

No Images to Pin? No Problem!

09.20.2012 by Maggie McGary // Leave a Comment

(I wrote this for the Socialfish blog, but reposting here) While Pinterest is a natural fit for brands whose websites contain a lot of images–like retail, fashion, food, bridal, etc–associations for the most part probably don’t fit that bill. Most association websites are almost exclusively text, and many are none too pretty either…sorry, but, truth. […]

5 Cool Pinterest Tools

03.21.2012 by Maggie McGary // Leave a Comment

Source: thisisblythe.com via Maggie on Pinterest After an initial honeymoon period with Pinterest where I used it strictly for fun, pinning pictures of English cottages, bee stuff, and all manner of cute things like Blythe dolls, tiny things, and…sorry…got distracted there looking up those boards to link. Anyway, after my initial honeymoon period where I […]

Yes, Pinterest is Driving Traffic to Women’s Magazines. Your Org is Not a Women’s Magazine.

02.27.2012 by Maggie McGary // Leave a Comment

I am trying to keep my love of Pinterest alive despite the ridiculously overwhelming influx of marketing hype about it–really, I am. But it’s getting increasingly hard, as just about every other tweet, blog post, and/or email I see contains the word “Pinterest.” Seriously? Just because it’s driving traffic to women’s magazines does not mean […]

Pinterest Can Monetize My Links All They Want

02.08.2012 by Maggie McGary // Leave a Comment

The big news of the week is that Pinterest is apparently monetizing links without disclosing the practice to users. I was going to write a post about why I’m ok with that, but Allison at BlogWorld already wrote basically the exact thing I was going to write so I’ll save myself the trouble and just […]
