Pinterest Analytics: Install the Pinerly Browser Extension

It seems that the Pinterest bubble has burst, but all is not lost for marketers looking to tap into the power of visual niche-network’s scrolling-based rabbit hole, in hopes of drive traffic and attention to their brand. Pinerly is one of the first 3rd party Pinterest analytics apps that’s already making progress towards gathering user engagement insights from content on Pinterest boards. The start up has launched a Pinterest analytics dashboard that integrates directly into any user’s account. While the service is only currently available to select users in a private Beta, with a little effort devoted to spreading the word to your friends on Twitter and Facebook, it’s fairly easy to earn access to your own Pinerly account. Momentum seems to be building too. Just this week, the folks at Pinerly released a browser extension that makes the user experience much more friendly by giving users the ability to create campagins on the fly by Pining content that can be measured directly from their browser without disrupting their normal browsing experience. Watch this short video for some of the details: Since I already use the ‘Pin It’  Chrome extension, I simply install the Pinerly browser extension in it’s place (lovingly etitled ‘Pinerly It’) and it’s off to the Pinterest campaign analytics races. If you’re interested in taking a look, you can request a sign up for the Pinerly’s private Beta and give the Pinerly It extension a try on your own. photo by: aussiegall nateriggsLike what you just read and want to get my posts delivered to your inbox?

How To Use Buffer to Manage Twitter for Business

A few times each year, I take a long and hard look at the tools I use to manage my presence and do some Spring cleaning. Part of my role at The Karcher Group is presence building online and brand evangelism, and that means dedicating a decent amount of time each day to both creating my own content as well as curating your awesome posts and tweets. For the last few weeks, I’ve been sucked into one of my personal reviews, and I want to share with you one of the tools I’ve opted to add to my personal social business tool kit, in part because it’s particularly helpful in using Twitter for business marketing. Why I Use Twitter for Business Marketing Perhaps I’m biased here, but keep in mind that I asked you to mark my words when I made the claim that eventually … Twitter will win. I’m looking forward to seeing Tom Webster present the findings of the Edison Research study at BlogWorld this June, as it seems to point to findings that suggest the same. I’ve always been able to derive a solid base of results from using Twitter for business marketing. It takes a significant investment of time and effort, but in the last few years sharing content and engaging with you nearly everyday has helped me to increase top-of-the-funnel opportunities such as: Discovering new tools, research resources and savvy peers that have helped forward my own business goals. Finding speaking opportunities at conferences like Content Marketing World, BlogWorld, Foodservice Social Media Universe and literally dozens of other national events. Building an audience and subscriber-base for my blog by distributing my posts on Twitter. I still remember how tough it was to build subscribers before Twitter so trust me when I say that all of your gracious mentions, Re-Tweets and [...]
