Pinterest has introduced a brand new partnership with affiliate procuring platform LTK, which is able to see the best-performing picture posts from LTK robotically cross-posted to Pinterest as properly.
LTK (which is acronym for “prefer to know”) offers a platform for influencers to showcase affiliate merchandise, by way of shoppable posts, just like social media updates.
So, actually, it’s fairly just like Pinterest’s listings anyway, although LTK is extra targeted on tutorials and demonstration-style clips, in addition to native trend discovery, hosted by a spread of name ambassadors and creators.
The brand new partnership will solely relate to picture posts at current.
As reported by The Verge:
“When an LTK publish is shared to Pinterest, a hyperlink to the influencer’s profile and their tagged merchandise will observe. The hope, at the very least for content material creators, is that getting pushed to Pinterest’s thousands and thousands of customers will lead to extra affiliate earnings.”
LTK at present serves 40 million month-to-month customers, with customers in a position to search by merchandise from over 1,000,000 manufacturers.
Pinterest, in the meantime, is now as much as 570 million month-to-month actives, with the overwhelming majority of these customers coming to the app in a procuring mindset. A lot-removed from its social media roots, Pinterest is now predominantly targeted on procuring discovery, which makes this partnership an apparent match.
Although I’m undecided why they don’t simply merge as a substitute. I imply, I perceive that every firm has its personal motivations and technique, however they appear like fairly carefully aligned choices, and if Pinterest simply bought LTK and built-in its discovery instruments as a substitute, that might seemingly be a extra logical partnership.
Although additionally a extra expensive one, and this will likely properly accomplish comparable strategic targets both means, enabling LTK to proceed to develop, whereas additionally providing expanded attain to Pinterest’s viewers.
And if it catches on, perhaps the 2 will look to develop their partnership in future.
Pinterest now has variations of direct itemizing partnerships with Amazon, Shopify, and WooCommerce, enabling clients of those third-party platforms to increase their promotions and profiles to Pinterest as properly.
LTK provides one other one to the checklist, which expands Pinterest’s potential catalog even additional, enhancing its procuring capability.
