im  seeing  some businesses   putting  their every   pinterest pin  on  their facebook….do you think this is a good idea? 

 i love pinterest and it is  driving a lot of  business to us……  so many customers  have  pinterest projects, not  necessarily  from  my pinterest…. i hear about their projects a lot , and sell them  parts a lot…

@annfurnivall @joanmuschampfagnani Unless I am mistaken, there is not a way to limit which of your pins drive/share to Facebook. When Pinterest is granted Facebook access I haven’t found a way of limiting which share based on specific postings. I think it is a “if you share with everyone you share it all” type app unless they have altered the permission/app structure. Does anyone else know about this?

@joanmuschampfagnani As far as I know, Facebook still does not allow you to “Pin” Facebook images and topics to Pinterest. Here is an article about the copyright issues being discussed with Pinterest as well: http://www.pcworld.com/businesscenter/article/250700/what_you_should_know_about_pinterest_and_copyright.html

I personally believe that may be why you can’t pin directly from Facebook in regard to copyright and the like.

I had the option to choose, with who I wanted to share pinterest on FB, as any single post that I have on FB, but it will be showing in my personal page, not in my business page, and because my friends and family are not my clients, I prefer to keep it open just for myself.

 On my FB business page I don’t see the reason why I should send my fans to look my pinterest posts, what I post on my business boards, is already on my FB business page, so I don’t want to open a window for my FB clients, to see outside.

In the other hand, yes I want people from Pinterest to go visit my FB business page or my other sites, to create fans or to finish the sale transactions, is like I’m recruiting clients.

For the moment, for me, FB and Pinterest are two completly different target market, so I have to have different Marketing strategies for each one.

@annfurnivall Are you seeing business pages with pins? Last time I checked you could not hook a FB page to a Pinterest account, only a personal FB timeline. So if a business wants pins to show up on their page, they would have to be manually linking on there.

I hooked my business Pinterest account up to our Twitter account. I then tweet pins occasionally, but not every time.

I have posted on our FB page about our Pinterest account (with a link) to try and get more followers. I also think posting about specific boards might get some interest.
