Here are a few compelling statistics that may sway your social media choices.
- Pinterest has 150 million users as of January 23rd of this year. Seventy million of them are in the United States. That is a lot of traffic that could be seeing your products and ideas.

- About 95% of the images were either pinned or re-pinned from the web which means you are building valuable links to your site daily.
- The half-life of a pin is 1,600 times longer than a Facebook post.
