To our friends, colleagues and clients, who we cherish and revere
We’d like to raise our glass and make a toast to the New Year
It always bears repeating that we wish all of you well
But let us put it in a way that only we can tell:
May your Facebook fanbase grow as strong and tall as oak
while your Instagram connections flow with fine and friendly folk
May your Pinterest people pin every fun tidbit you post
and your Twitter fam Retweet all the Tweets they love the most
May your content be abundant, like a field of butterflies
and your project coordination be as fruitful as a pie
Should budgets squeeze like spandex, and worries start to mount
may chill beset the bosses who are leading the account
Let every new fan’s question be addressed in rapid time
and let every random hater be as silent as a mime
Let all your branded copy flow off the pen with ease
and every punny slogan fill your offices with cheese
We wish your Facebook pixel has the most unique events
be they Canvas ads, Carousels, whatever makes most sense
Should all your PR efforts then go off without a hitch
may millions prick their ears up at your massive news coverage
If ever you encounter a campaign that needs a spark
You know that Thin Pig’s here to help you knock it out of the park
So let’s celebrate together, in person and onscreen
as we all embark together on a great twenty-nineteen!

Make sure you have appropriate and timely boards with relevant content that reflects how your fan base takes in the season. 87% of Pinterest users make purchases because of the social media platform so make sure your URL links are up to date. Pinners use Pinterest to build dream boards for vacations, wardrobes, weddings, holidays, new houses and much, much more. It’s up to you to create images and boards they want to follow and pin back to their own boards, thus sharing with their own followers in the process. Images with a white or blank background and close-ups are great for products you want to stand out, but be sure to also use in-context and lifestyle images to show off your brand vision. This allows the consumer to get a feel for your product and to help them decide how to use it. As Pinterest is used for both inspiration and planning, you will optimize your reach by having a good mix of both.
