For those who aren’t familiar, Idea Pins are Pinterest’s native publishing format that was first introduced to creators in 2020 and rolled out globally in 2021. Idea Pins are a multi-page canvas to share ideas and tutorials with others. 

In Pinterest’s “Watch” tab, Pinners find a full-screen feed of Idea Pins to scroll through and engage with content from brands and creators.

Pinterest has also shared some of the best practices for Idea Pins:

  1. Instructional and actionable – Use videos, images, text to walk people through the steps and make it easy for them to take action on the Idea.
  2. Use Video –  Video is great for telling a story and to connect with the audience. Start with a video on the first page. It’s your best chance to stand out and hook your audience.
  3. Make it Personal – Idea Pins are not for sterile, polished content. Let your brand voice shine with our editing tools such as stickers, music controls, video filters, and more.
  4. Pinterest’s profile highlights – With profile highlights, Creators are also able to add Idea Pins to the top of their profile, enabling them to show off their most engaging and immersive Idea Pins.
