Pinterest Presents previewed selling tools

In Pinterest Presents’ second global advertising summit, Pinterest executives previewed a range of new product features set to bolster the platform’s commerce experience along with more ways for brands to tap into the trends and creators that help them meaningfully connect with consumers.

With nearly half a billion people around the world coming to Pinterest each month to find inspiration, Pinterest is developing its efforts to become the digital destination for personalised shopping, making it even easier for Pinners to bring their Pinterest boards to life, and purchase anything they see on the platform.

We’re doubling down on products and features to help move people from the insight phase of inspiration, into the decision phase. From product tagging in Idea Pins–so creators can actually tag their ideas with the products they used—to checkout–so shoppers can actually convert without leaving the app—we’re building an ecosystem to help people take their spark of an idea and make it a reality.

– Andréa Mallard, Chief Marketing Officer, Pinterest
