Michele Hester We are a good example of an unusual product (in our case, edible lace) benefiting greatly from the visual exposure Pinterest offers. A pin isn't able to convey the great taste or ease of use of our product, but it does lead the curious viewer to discovering both of these things via visual, eye-candy pictorial representation. A photo headline lead will always trump text. Hands-down. http://pinterest.com/pin/22...
Bedrosians Tile We love showing our beautiful ceramic tile/porcelain and natural stone products. Pinterest is a perfect platform for us! We heart it!

The Wall Street Journal is tapping Pinterest to showcase our New York Fashion Week Coverage. This picture was taken by reporter @Elizabeth Holmes at the Dennis Basso show. She said models had full skirts and very high shoes, making their already thin leg look like sticks.

Online crafts marketplace Etsy.com has more than 50,600 Pinterest followers. It is using Pinterest’s price display feature. That means that when Pinterest users “pin,” this Adele Portrait, for instance, the image automatically includes a banner showing its $30 price tag.

Morrow My sister is on Etsy and I work with fair trade artistans. I try to post their stuff just to get some notice. Doesn't necessarily work; I don't have many followers.

Kristine Olson Smart: could "pin" shopping list. But if I could wear these (and afford them), I might NOT want to pin & be copied by others. Hmm.
Meredith Brasington gorgeous
