• Pinners are 5x more likely to pin from a smartphone.
ShareThis said in introducing its data:
Publishers and advertisers, especially those in Pinterest’s leading content categories, should leverage the social platform to present rich content geared toward the network’s core audience of women, who are responsible for “85% of all consumer purchases”.
