Imagine you’re an interior designer passionate about creating beautiful spaces, but despite your talent, you’re struggling to get the visibility you deserve. Your work is stunning, but how do you show it to the right people? This is where our client found herself when she reached out to us. Like many business owners, she had heard of Pinterest but wasn’t sure how to use it strategically. She saw it as a platform where people collected ideas but didn’t realize its potential to drive serious traffic and convert those ideas into real business.
When we began working together, her Pinterest presence was underwhelming. She had a few pins, mostly animated text graphics, but they weren’t gaining traction. Her content wasn’t impacting, and her ideal clients weren’t seeing her work. It felt like shouting into the void.

The Shift: Bringing Her Vision to Life
We started by getting to the heart of her brand and asking the big question: What do her potential clients really want to see? The answer was clear—they wanted to feel inspired by her designs and visualize themselves living in the spaces she created.
Our first step was transforming her branded video pins. These weren’t just any videos—they showcased her best projects in a way that felt luxurious and aspirational. We tapped into the emotions her clients feel when they imagine their dream homes. These weren’t just images of rooms; they were glimpses of a lifestyle her clients could have.
As we began rolling out these new, high-quality video pins, her Pinterest started coming alive. The pins were visually stunning, grabbing attention in a feed full of distractions. People were saving them, clicking through to her website, and getting curious about how she could transform their homes.
Before the Purchase: Getting Noticed
For our client, Pinterest became more than just a platform—it was her stage. Before any formal inquiry or purchase, potential clients were already interacting with her brand in a meaningful way. They were pinning her ideas, visiting her website, and starting to imagine how her designs could fit into their lives. It was like planting seeds in their minds; every pin saved was a small commitment to her work.
By the time they reached out, they felt a sense of familiarity with her style. They had already seen themselves in her designs. That’s the power of showing, not telling. Before even speaking with her, these clients had already begun their journey to trusting her. They didn’t need convincing—they were already excited about the possibility of working together.
The Purchase: Converting Interest Into Action
When a potential client finally decided to contact her, they weren’t coming in cold. They had already engaged with her content, they had an emotional connection to her designs, and they felt like she was the perfect fit for their needs. By the time they reached out, they were ready to take action.
This is the magic of using Pinterest strategically. It created a seamless experience from discovery to action. There was no hard sell—just a natural progression from passive browsing to active engagement. Her clients felt in control of their decision because they had already been guided through the process subtly, from one beautiful pin to the next, until reaching the point of commitment.
After the Purchase: Building Long-Term Relationships
The story doesn’t end at the purchase. After clients completed a project with her, they often continued following her on Pinterest, still saving her ideas for future inspiration. Many of them became repeat clients or referred her to their friends, all because her Pinterest presence stayed active in their minds. Every pin she posted kept her in their lives, whether they needed her services again or simply wanted to share her work with others.
Benefits and Convenience: What Pinterest Marketing Delivered
Our client didn’t just gain more visibility—she gained the right visibility. Pinterest marketing allowed her to reach people who were actively seeking design ideas and ready to invest in their homes. The benefits went beyond increased website traffic:
- Pre-qualification of clients: By the time potential clients reached out, they had already fallen in love with her designs. This meant less time spent trying to “sell” them on her services and more time doing the creative work she loved.
- Emotional connection: Pinterest allowed her to build a relationship with her audience before they ever spoke. Her clients felt like they knew her, trusted her, and were confident she could deliver the results they wanted.
- Long-term visibility: Pinterest pins have a long shelf life, unlike many other forms of content. Even months after posting, her pins continued to drive traffic and inquiries. It was like planting seeds that kept growing, long after the initial post.
- Freedom from constant updates: With an optimized Pinterest strategy, she no longer needed to stress over constantly creating new content. The platform’s evergreen nature meant that her best designs could continue working for her without needing daily attention.
Inconveniences Saved: A Streamlined Path to Growth
Before working with us, our client was overwhelmed with where to focus her marketing efforts. She was juggling social media, trying to keep up with Instagram posts, and worrying about SEO on her website. Pinterest simplified this. Instead of constantly worrying about what to post next, her pins worked in the background, consistently driving traffic and engagement.
She no longer had to spend hours trying to figure out how to reach her ideal clients—they were coming to her naturally. No more wasting time on strategies that didn’t work. No more feeling like her efforts were falling flat. Pinterest became a tool that worked for her, not the other way around.
