BMAG is on Pinterest and thanks to Jenni Fuch's blog I think that it is worth trying it out using images from our Picture Library website with the Pinterest function that allows you to add a price tag to your pins. It will be interesting to see if this does have any impact on sales.

Like Linda Ellis I am happy if people re-use our images and take them to a new audience, and lately I've started seeing pinterest referrals bringing people to our websites which is obviously a good thing. If I find it has commercial potential too - I'll love it even more!
