The Most Popular Branded Boards on Pinterest


The Most Popular Branded Boards on Pinterest
Pinterest-bhg

Although the vast majority of brand engagement on Pinterest is user-generated, many branded accounts have achieved an impressive reach of their own.
Social media-benchmarking company Unmetric took a look at 5,000 branded Pinterest boards in mid-March to assess which boards generated the most engagement in terms of followers, comments, likes and repins. Unsurprisingly, the most popular branded boards tend to fall in categories that are already popular among Pinterest's predominantly female userbase — namely food, fashion, home and weddings.
The standout brand in the study is Better Homes and Gardens, whose "Blogger Faves From BHG.com" — a group board managed by 10 guest pinners — merited the second most repins, the third most likes and the fourth greatest number of comments among branded boards. Its "Blogger Recipes We Love," another group board with 15 contributors, ranked in the top three for repins and likes. Those collaborators are no doubt partly responsible for the boards' popularity, as new pins are shared not only with Better Homes and Gardens' followers, but also guest pinners' followers.
Giveaway contests are one way to get a lot of comments on a branded board. Three of the top five boards in the category — Purex's "Purex Promotions," HTC Mobile's "HTC One by Cushnie et Ochs Giveaway" and Sephora's "Holiday: 40 Days of Wishes" — asked followers for comments in exchange for free prizes. This strategy doesn't necessarily produce high-quality comments, however; the majority of comments on HTC's giveaway board contain only links to users' repins, for example.
Here's a breakdown of the most popular branded boards:
