In April, our agency SimplyPintastic focused on diversifying pin content for one of our clients. This included A/B testing different pin designs and incorporating a Pinterest infographic provided by the client into our strategy.
We used specific UTM codes so we could track traffic from Pinterest to the pins we were testing. Interestingly enough, there were no significant differences in analytics to suggest one will do better than the other.
On the other hand, the client’s infographics were receiving more Saves, as pinners likely wanted to hold on to this valuable information contained in the image.
From March to April, this client saw an increase of 35% in Saves.

What size should my Pinterest infographic be?
Pinterest recommends infographics should be between 500-1500 pixels in length to ensure the Pinterest image is not too small or cut off.
