Pinterest (PINS) Twitter Account Validates Business Gains Ahead of Earnings





Date Published:


Lede

Pinterest's (NYSE:PINS) Business Twitter account retweeted a publication from Modern Retail with comments that point to data ahead of earnings.

 

Story

The @Pinterestbiz Twitter (unverified) account shared this retweet with comments on February 3rd, 2020:

 


The retweet pointed to the article Retailers begin to see e-commerce gains from Pinterest which had some great data.  We reprise some of that data below and encourage all readers to go the original source for more.

The premise of the story and data falls on the shoulders of Pinterest's public comments surrounding e-commerce on the platform. The company further disclosed a partnership with e-commerce platform king Shopify (NYSE:SHOP), but no other details about that partnership have been shared.

Now we can move to highlights from the article.


Highlights

* The platform has added more social commerce tools in an effort to pitch retailers on how being on the platform can help actual conversions. These include the ability to build custom shopping catalogs, product pins and improved retargeting.

* The push has marketers seeing Pinterest as a new frontier of social e-commerce, with Pinterest’s last earnings showing it increased the number of shopping catalogs on the platform by 75% compared to the previous quarter. 

* [O]ne luxury retailer kept ad spend relatively flat while growing revenue by 99% from October 2019 to December 2019.

* One retail client increased its Pinterest spend by 67% from May to December last year, which then saw its revenue jump by 173%. 

* Another retail client showed the increase of spend by 56% helped revenue increase by 87% between October and December 2019. The strategy was also in addition to ongoing ad spending on Facebook and Instagram.

* Pinterest revealed data from The Tie Bar which made use of the inspiration boards resulting in an increased target return on ad spend for Pinterest Shopping by three times. Furthermore, they’re been achieving 5.5 times ROAS since launching on Pinterest Shopping last month. 


Conclusion

The story from ModernRetail, when retweeted by Pinterest's Business Twitter account (unverified), appears to be undisputed data and some of it comes from the period between October 1 - December 31, 2020 -- the quarter that is about to be reported on February 6th after the market closes.
