The Power of Pinterest!

Pinterest-
I got an email a few weeks ago from a man named
Andre Bourque, MBA
Social Media Marketing | Business Development
 
Below is the link to what he called,
 
"The Single Pinterest Pin That Launched a Company"

Well, I don't know about "Launched a Company" but Pinterest sure did Rod Works the exposure they needed to get their Online store headed in the right direction.
 
Last october I did a post on my hand made sofa table. I got tons of emails/"pins" about the table. But, I got thousands from people all over wanting the rod above the table!
I replied to all the emails/ "pins" about the companys name and where they are located (at the time was only in three states). "Rod Works does not have an online store" I sadly told them.
 
A few months later I got another email from a Sweet lady from Rod Works ( I don't have her name or email sadly :( I deleted it while in my crazy sick pregnant state) telling me how thankful they were for directing people to their store.
They had such a demand from pinterest that the made an online store!How exciting! So now everyone can have an awesome frame rod.

This sweet lady also send me a $50 gift card to use at Rod Works!! Yipee for me.

You never know what a "pin might do. So get "pinning" if you have not joined Pinterst.. do it today there are so many great ideas!

Thanks,

Lindsay

  4. I'm so excited!! That picture of yours is one of the very first I pinned after I joined last year. I've been an avid follower ever since! My mom and I even talked about trying to make a special stop at a Rodworks when we were in Utah last year for Thanksgiving. Now, thanks to your post I was able to order it online this afternoon :)
