HOW TO PIN PHOTOS TO PINTEREST

This article is put together for Made Urban’s group board: ULTIMATE CRAFT FAIR RESOURCE. If you would like to join the board to contribute photos of booths you’ve taken at craft fairs, craft fair inspiration or advice, please:

  • Email the link your Pinterest profile to info@35.87.2.162


The purpose of this board is to not only inspire you when it comes to your craft fair setup but also to give you and your fellow vendors a place to share your work and displays.

Next craft fair you’re at, please take photos of your booth as well as other vendors’ booths that you think are well done and effective. You can take photos of specific elements such as props, signage, tablecloths, etc. or overall photos showing the entire setup.

We don’t allow product photos or listings but you can share photos of your work through overall shots of your products displayed in your booth or on display props.

You can also share any craft fair related articles you’ve found helpful or images of craft fair posters that are coming up.

RULES TO FOLLOW:

To keep this board useful and fun for everyone to follow please:

  • Keep the look of the board pleasing by pinning attractive images and ensuring each table is photographed well
  • Pin more than just your work or content and repin content from ULTIMATE CRAFT FAIR RESOURCE to other boards. Group boards are only beneficial if everyone is involved and helps each other out.
  • Start conversations! I really want this to be a place where craft fair vendors support each other, ask for feedback, gain new ideas and grow together. Leave comments on pins and chat with each other 🙂
  • Try to have a look over the board before you start pinning to it to be sure you’re pinning fresh content. And be sure to pin a mix of photos so visitors don’t just see 20 different photos of your booth when they visit the board. A few photos of your booth, a few photos of other’s booths and a few repins from Pinterest of props, signage or craft fair related articles would make for a great Pinterest day 😉
  • Don’t pin content that is not related to craft fairs. No product listings, product photos or links to articles about blogging


PINNING A PHOTO

2) Click on “Upload an image”.

3) Click on the red “Choose image” button.

4) Select the image from your computer.

5) Add your description.
Be sure that it’s keyword rich & helpful to readers (think about the keywords you would enter if you were searching for the image. For example: “creative soap display at a craft fair using wooden crates” would be fitting if you were sharing a photo of your handmade soaps displayed at a craft fair.) You can share other details such as:

  • The name of the business that appears in the photo
  • The name of the event it was taken at
  • What you love about the setup or detail
  • If it’s your table, you can also share details like where you bought your props or what was really effective
