💡 Today’s Insight 💡

🗞 TL;DR - While Instagram, TikTok, and Snap are still more likely to see the highest rates of Gen Z usage, Pinterest has more than 200 million Gen Z users coming to the platform every month. Colloquially, Gen Z has noted that Pinterest is a favorite social platform, which makes Pinterest’s latest global user report one to learn from.

💡 Insight - Here are some of Pinterest’s key lessons for marketers from the report findings:

  • Optimize your post descriptions based on search trends

  • Include CTAs with an emphasis on downstream behaviors - report findings show people are 7x more likely to purchase a product that they’ve previously saved on Pinterest

  • Provide easy ways for audiences to go from browsing to action - 63% of weekly Gen Z users are ‘always shopping’

  • Stay up to date with shifting interests - Gen Z users are “constantly on the hunt for new looks and personas to try on”

  • Take note of key cultural events, like film releases and festivals, and create themed content

  • Remember the non-Gen-Z users who are shopping for Gen Z, you’re not just targeting this audience directly
