Pinterest has long been a place where people could discover new forms of arts and crafts, as well as providing a kind of marketplace where you could look into goods that the mainstream market might not offer. As a bastion for smalltime creators, Pinterest has expanded quite drastically and one of the newest features being offered by the social media platform is a list of buying suggestions that are personalized based on data that has been collected regarding your preferences, tastes and the general choices that you tend to make.
The focus here seems to be making it easier for merchants operating on the site to market their wares. The new Catalogue option will be of particular use in this regard. A service that was previously only available to big name brands, now small creators will be able to take advantage of the compact and easily clickable links on this platform, thereby ensuring that anyone that is displaying some kind of interest in the products you are selling will find it very easy to just buy what they need from a small merchant instead of having to go for a big name brand.
Related products will also be advertised in order to provide a seamless shopping experience, and with the addition of personalized recommendations it seems like Pinterest has nowhere to go but up.
