(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nPinterest unveiled a new suite of ad tools including Visual Search Ads, designed to let brands reach users based on what they search for visually, not just keywords, per Modern Retail.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): intent-based ads on a platform where intent is already visual. Pinterest users are not scrolling mindlessly; they're collecting images of things they want. A beauty brand can now target users who pinned similar color palettes or textures. A furniture brand can show up when someone saves a room aesthetic. The play: submit your product catalog to Pinterest Ads Manager and enable Visual Search bidding. Your items will show up when users visually search for similar products, not just keyword matches. This is higher-intent than keyword search because the user has already committed an image to their board.\nWhat that means for you: Most platforms are still selling interruption. Pinterest is selling intention. If you're selling something visual — which is almost everything now — Pinterest's Visual Search Ads let you meet people at the moment they're closest to buying. They've already shown you what they want; you're just showing them a version they can actually buy.\nIf you make, sell, or gift anything with your name on it — this is yours to run. You can do this.\n(Real, not theory — Modern Retail: https://www.modernretail.co/marketing/pinterest-unveils-new-suite-of-ad-tools-including-visual-search-ads-in-its-pitch-to-brands/.)\n———\nOr — want it built FOR you?
