I’m finding that Pinterest is a great way to organize ideas, products, etc. For instance, the whole time I was planning/building my new green screen studio, I researched a ton on Pinterest related to products, other studios, etc. and organized them all on one page. Very cool to have a large visual space to see how it can all come together!

Thank you! For the beginning statistics, I googled recent studies done on marriage and found some really great articles that provided the information I used.
The ideas presented about Pinterest are based on personal observation. I know a lot of young women and girls who use Pinterest to create boards for their future wedding. Girls have long been planning their weddings at young ages, but with the recent popularity of Pinterest, they’ve found a new outlet. You can find many articles on the quick rise of Pinterest through google, if you’d like to delve a little deeper.
I am not a co-ordinator, btw. I’m just a careful observer with access to the habits of the younger generation. 🙂

This is a nice article. Can you please provide some research basis to back up your points? Or is this an opinion piece, I’m confused. Are you a co-ordinator (and I don’t mean that rhetorically….I’m serious). Please elaborate, because I like your ideas.

Start them when they’re young. haha!
Good one. I’ll be a fat old man by the time they grow up.
But, this is good advice, Pinterest is a great marketing tool. When I place my Wedding work up, a few minutes in and it’s been re-pinned! Too bad this isn’t as big in Australia yet.

I do trust all of the concepts you have offered in
your post. They are very convincing and will definitely work.
Still, the posts are too quick for newbies. Could you please lengthen them a
bit from subsequent time? Thank you for the post.

In reply to davestake. Wow. Great points! I never thought much about the color palate trends that Pinterest shows but you're absolutely right.

I find Pinterest very useful for several reasons. First, it’s a great plqce to spot early color palate trends for seniors, maternity and newborn. Next, as you point out, many women, even those not actually planning a wedding, have created wedding pinboards. Without violating more than a few privacy issues, I’m not sure you could data mine for customers, but you can at least see what potential customers are getting excited about.

I did find a tool whose name escapes me that scans photos and spits out a color palate report. The combination of Pinterest and the color palates helps me design and choose my templates and marketing collateral. It also helps identify clothing color palates.

Being a guy without a large number of women friends to research with, Pinterest is an invaluable resource.
