Dive Brief:
-
Pinterest is testing a service with ModCloth, Wayfair, Whole Foods, and GoPro, where shoppers don't have to leave the retailers’ websites in order to follow their Pinterest pages.
-
The tweak is to the “follow” button that marketers already use on their sites. A click on “follow” brings up the retailer’s Pinterest content without taking them away from the site.
-
The change is also the latest move in a series of several by Pinterest to make its network more useful to marketers.
